Water temp fluctuated between 71 (incoming tide) to 68 (outgoing tide). That 3 degree shift in temperature was bone chilling even in my dry suit.

Sounds like it is time for the 5mm again.
Time for my thick undergarment. I froze when the tide turned...
Brrr... That's a bit on the chilly side even with my 7mm.. And the dang thing keeps shrinking!

Witht the temperature drops, has it effected to critters much?
My daughter is in town for a few days and I'd like to take her to the bridge but don't want to disappoint her with no critters.

I have done the bridge ins some really cold conditions many times. There is always something to see there. The colder water may drive some of the critters away, but it brings others in.

Last year a buddy and I dove the bridge at 63 degrees. I was in a 2MM shorty under my 3MM full wet suit and a hood and was fairly cold. He was in a .5 full wet suit!!!! We saw all the typical stuff that day, batfish, sea robins, tropicals, etc. Did not spend much time looking for really little critters since we felt too cold just to hover in one place for more than a minute or two. The vis was really bad that day too

We'll be there tomorrow morning.
Hopefully we can meet up with some other regulars for a nice dive.
I'll be sporting a 3/2 full and she brought a 5/4 with her from up north.
Hopefully she'll stay warm.
I dove bare skin through late November so 3mm should be OK for me.

Did anyone dive the bridge today? I'm planning to dive it tomorrow morning and test out my new camera. I would hate to go out there if the conditions are terrible.
