yes, it's another Breakwater report

[Tug]

I dove the Gloucester breakwater again, I like the site because it has good vis and the 3 minute drive from my house isn't to shabby either. We went in a low tide which is something I will never do again, way to shallow of a dive but it was a fun one. My computer wasn't showing depth half the time because I was under 5 feet and my average depth was probably somewhere around 6 feet. I think that I hit a max depth of 11 feet which means I have done deeper dives in a pool... The resident lumpfish was swimming around and we spent a good 5-8 minutes or so just watching him. The vis was around 20 feet and the temp about 44, or at least that's what it was every time I was glancing at my computer.

What breakwater? New England is a big place.

You think you'll ever be brave enough to do the other side? I guess would have to be dead calm, and high tide (so don't have to deal with slippery rocks) I liked the Froggies idea of diving all the way to end of the breakwater and walking back.

I'm up for giving it a shot sometime, but like you said it would have to be dead calm and a half hour or so before high tide so we can get in and out right around high tide. We dove about three quarters of the way down and walked back, started to get a little chilly after 40 minutes down.
