Water Temps on Molasses Reef

[Speargirl]

So everyone will be able to somewhat of an idea of the water temps here. Also I have been diving with board shorts and bikini tops for the past month and I am a warm water wuss. :cool2:

According to the Water Temp Table it has been 83* to 85* -- that is what I am talking about...

I saw your post and know some have had problems getting into the website that was offered so I thought I would post this for you. Much easier and faster.

It was 84F last week when we dove it.

The current was insane, but still it was a blast.:cool2:

So I reviewed the captains log. It would seem all the Reef dives are listed as 85 F or better. If the Reef is 85 F in the Keys does that mean the Duane, Spiegel and so forth would be 81 or better? I know up here there can be tricky chilly upwellings which would astound someone not familar with them.

It looks like board shorts and booties to me!

Last week I dove in a 1-2mm suit with a hood and was toasty. My wife (new diver) dove in a 3mm and no hood and was cold on some afternoon dives and she is used to surf in cold water ...
Some fellow divers were in t-shirt/boardies.
