Water Temps?

[finstotheleft]

I was just there 6/13-14. Vis. was horrible at the USS Indra (5ft if that). Current and surge were pretty bad there. I had heard that vis. was better on the East side of Cape Lookout, around the CaribSea (15-20ft.), but the wind was whipping the waves up and we couldn't get over there. One of the guys at the lodge had said that on 6/12 they got around 30ft. vis., but that ended quickly. I was told to come back in July/Aug., when it is not unusual to see 100ft. vis.

Spectre,

The temps is Morehead this weekend were in the low 70's. We dove the Papoose, the Aeolus, and the Indra and all three wrecks were in the low 70's. Vis is down to around 60ft on the Papoose and the Aeolus and the water is green right now not blue. The indra is an inshore wreck in only about 70ft or so of water and vis was 15ft max there. Other than that it was a beautiful weekend to dive. We have a max of 4ft seas all weekend and we had a surface current on the Papoose only. The rest of the dives we didn't even have to "hang" on the hang bar. Hope this helps you guys.

I was down last week. 7/24-7/25

Schurz 40' viz 73 degrees at depth
Spar 30' viz 77 degrees
U352 60' viz 73 degrees
Aeolus 30' viz 75 degrees


the water temps were in the low 80's on the surface so there was a pretty good themocline. Especially on the sub and schurz. we were lucky this time the ocean was flat as a lake. Have a good time!
