So there’s been some temps higher than 87? I saw an article about this and then checked out the dive conditions on the rainbow reef website, but the don’t give water temps. I hope the bleaching doesn’t happen

I hope not and after stoney coral disease the reefs need a break

There was s report on NPR radio yesterday AM that the water temperature [somewherr] in they Keys was 98F. Maybe in a sheltered spot, a few inches below the surface.

Sounds like it's time to reverse the polarity on my Thermulation dive vest, so I can have a cool, comfortable dive in the Keys.

This morning, GMA said the water temp was 94 and the land 95, so no sea breeze to cool things off.

Not 94 on reef 86/87(garmin gps and dive computer)
Fl bay could be that hot some areas a foot of water or so

Surface temps, in shallow water.
