cap_bert and I hit OGB about a week ago. Water was still cold (39F, about the same as at depth on the local wrecks). Just got in a dive last night at BB and holy cow, water is already up to 46F. Felt noticeably warmer as well. Had a nice little 60 minute dive just tooling around. Lobsters, crabs, and some fish are coming back as well (including the biggest lumpfish I've seen up here; dude was huge).

Are you talking about me?

The bioluminescence just started as well. Don't know if you shut off your lights at all, but there were plenty of green sparks.

Oh LUMP fish! I thought he said LUNG fish and was talking about me. Mr lumpy was probably protecting eggs, or at least territory.
