Yeah we had picture perfect conditions at Cat...giant stride entry off the "finger", zero current, good vis, etc. I spotted one lonely fish on the dive but I could not get close enough to identify it. There were still a few lobster though not as many as I noticed last weekend.

Did my first dive of the year at Folly yesterday with a friend. It's great having that site all to ourselves.
Visiblity was very decent. Tested my new camera on some starfish and a puny juvenile cod I found under a rock. Threw some snowballs at the ducks. Good fun! Hope the pictures will come out well. No lobster or flounder yet.
Forgot to check the temperature, but surprisingly I wasn't too cold wearing a wetsuit (at least while moving.) I think I should join the polar bear club

We had a surface temp of about 39 at Brant Rock, and since we didn't get deeper than 15 feet, it was about 39 at the bottom too. Vis was a tolerable 10'+, but nothing special. The site is a super easy entry at high tide, with a rock jetty that it isn't at all suprising yields lots of bugs in season. I didn't see a single one sunday though.
Jeff got his backplate fitted a lot better, and it made a world of difference in his stability. An ill-fitting backplate won't do a diver any favors.
Lisa saw a good-sized nudi, but other than that, a bunch of thumbnail sized mollusks, and a ton of planktonic larvae, there wasn't much animal life to be seen.
I got a pinhole opening in my right drysuit cuff, so cold turned the dive and we were back out of the water in about 35 minutes.

I could probably handle 39 F water -- I managed 40 F before, -- but I like the AIR to be significantly warmer than that. Do you have the pictures ready yet?Chebby, do you know your mailbox is full? I just tried to send you a PM, and your mailbox would not accept it.

Actually my computer says it was 38F at 55feet. I'm cheap, so I won't develop the film till I finish it, it's only half full. So only after next dive.
Mailbox cleared. Thanks!
