We stayed at the Tower for the duration of the trip since we ended up not getting the numbers for the subway cars. Anyway, there were a bunch of us on the boat (the Miss Lauren, out of VA Beach) for so early in the season and my hat is off to all the OW students doing checkouts today! Man, they were amazing...feeding the fish one minute, then getting geared up and jumping in...they were all diving wet, some of them rental wetsuits! One girl even told me she had a great time and didn't get cold until the second dive (you gotta love East Coast divers..).
Temp on the surface was about 72 and was one of the most beautiful days I have seen. Seas were relatively flat. Water temp was 41 and visibility was a marginal 3-4'. I didn't see a single fish, but there were some nice starfish and other clingy things on the tower. I was covered with tiny shrimp when I surfaced and brought a ton of them home in my gearbags (not on purpose).
