Winter water temps in Jupiter yesterday

[Jibeho]

There must be an upwelling in full swing. We dived Lee's and Loggerhead. Lee's my computer said 71 some read 69 Vis was about 30 thermocline at 20-25. Hanging at 15 it was like diving is jelly soup alot of sea lice and such. Noting stinging just all tiny stuff.

Loggerhead was 3 deg warmer.

Jibeho and I was thinking of hanging the BIG wetsuit into the back of the closet. This is going to be the time of year when we pack three suits.

I still think a thermometer like used in cooking with a probe would be cool. You get to the area of the site. You plop in this weighted probe it sinks to around 100' and you get the temperature at depth. A mini cam would be cool especially if there was a deluxe model that gave current speed and direction as well.

Dive breifing.. It is 71 degrees at 100' with 25' of visability with a 1.25 knot current to the north. - -- -

That would be cool.

It was crazy cold, I did scarface and loggerhead, and definately felt the thermocline, did you feel those warm patches at depth? Weird, oh well, at least there were a lot of turtles.

Yup I felt them between 60-70 feet they sort of skewed your vision like swimming through a mirage.

Boynton was like that yesterday, too. 81 degrees, drift 25 feet, 73 degrees, drift 25 feet, 81 degrees... We were heat seekers, like missiles.
