Dove Shark River Inlet at high tide - 7:48pm - got in a tad late 7:55pm but the viz was very good - 6 foot or so. Stuck around under the bridge due to all the fishermen on the Inlet and this being the first inlet dive for my son. His dive light started acting up on him so we cut the dive relatively short - 20 min - max depth 16 feet - min temp 51 degrees.

Had 2000 psi left so we went to Maclearie Park and dove. 9:01 pm - got in the water - 27 min dive - max depth 12 feet - min temp 53 degrees - viz about 4 feet maybe 5 feet. Saw 3 seahorses (native species not tropicals) and a skate with brown stripe markings - really cool. Lots of flounder but season opens on 5/21 so we left them alone.

Good dive and dive buddies - got two dives out of one so that was a plus too...
