The Boynton Dive Chronicles (new and improved)

Yes sir... it was borderline. We were pestered by a for sure legal one on the first dive though.

I've got to go fishing up there one of these days. I'll get rid of the nuisance for you.

 

[scubadada]

Woo-hoo! I wanna go too! I'll dive up at the brigde with you! My son will be visiting then though, I'll have to see if he wants to come first.

Im the meantime... THERMOCLINE.

Yes the west wind has brought on an upwelling, which is clear, but cold. The water on top is a nasty brown/green 80 degree 20 foot viz layer , but the bottom layer was about 70 foot viz, maybe more, and 73 degrees. It may be gone by now though... we were getting some pretty strong southeast winds as the day wore on. There were some high seas associated with some of the storms that blew through, but I missed the nasty stuff because I was underwater. One of the passengers indicated a wave height of about 5 feet, but for the most part, it was 2' in the morning and about 2-3' in the afternoon. We had a slight to moderate south current all day long. Here are som e pics from today.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for one of the best dive trips I've had and 10 great dives. I'm already scheming on a return visit.

Good diving, the happy guy with the Nurse Shark, Craig

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!?! --- Here I am packing my gear for a Saturday dive on your boat and there is no up to the minute report of conditions, temperature, visability, current speed / direction/ current reef census, or latest Kev's Boat Fashion Advisory -- I certainley hope I am not embarrassed by someone wearing the same thing as me Sat Morning.

 

[Orlando Eric]

Canveral reports 81 degrees so I am going to plan around this. If there is a 72 degree upwelling down there I am going to freeze...

Hey Orlando Eric,

Very sorry I missed you on my recent visit to Boynton. Hope we have a chance to meet and dive together in the future. Relay my greetings to Kevin.

Good diving, Craig

So does this mean you're not joining us on the Monday dive????? :depressed:

 

[scubadada]

Very sorry, but no. I'm back at home working for a living. I'm so very jealous of you, living near such wonderful diving. Jupiter and Boynton are among my favorite places to dive. Hope to make your aquaintance in the future.

Warm regards, Craig

JupiterMermaid, Arizona, Scuba.dude, Jupiter31 and myself dove Boynton today and the Mermaid racked up dive #300 doing a nice 70+ minute dive on Black Condo

It's always a pleasure diving with friends, new and old

3 cheers for JupiterMermaid!

JupiterMermaid & deepstops - good to see you again. Arizona & jupiter31 - good to meet you. Kev - I've decided to modify the old mantra and from now on will use "Any day diving w/ Kevin is better than, well, pretty much anything else"

Cheers,
S.D
