They got your number my friend it is the Sea Gods scattering the Snapper. You ought to have tried working off Fort Morgan for the pass week. We lost one 6’ suction and had one destroyed because of this wind not to mention the lost of a check valve. I don’t think I have ever been beat up so much by waves. hopefully the water will lay down soon
 
That's not all, suddenly the temperature is dropping. Water was starting to warm up but noooooo, that would make things too pleasant.
May be the gods like you say but I'm suspicios of the canadians blowing strong cold air down south.
My husband believes that the wind will lay down if we pull the boat out of the water. I can't imagine how crowded will the sprimgs be the next couple of days.
 
Maybe we all should turn our fans on and point them north to blow that cold air back where it came from.:)

Especially Vortex, Morrison is flooded so not many classes will be venturing its waters.
 
Don't worry about wind when cave diving. Don't worry about boats when cave diving.
Don't worry about rain, snow, sleet, dust, pollen, dive flags, wildlife, surf, wave height, seasickness, diesel fumes, canoes, tubers, spearfishermen, monofiliment, hooks, rusted metal, beercans, or crowds. Dive almost every weekend. Oh, and don't pay for a boat ride and two tanks of air. But it's not for everyone!:D

But it's a CAVE! :D Many can hop in the ocean (safely.) Few can go in caves (safely.) That being said I enjoy the ocean and its critters too.
