We have calm seas 2-3ft, but low vis I am told. Could be higher than normal...
Just got a report from a friend in Miami that the seas are rough with white caps and poor vis so they scrubbed the dive.

My prayer for safe passages and blessings for those who travel upon the seas....and under them.
And that they don't forget the drawn butter when they invite me over!
Amen

Lobster Diver Dies During Mini-Season
Massachusetts Man Found Unresponsive

TAVERNIER, Fla. -- A 54-year-old man from Massachusetts died while diving for lobster off the upper keys Wednesday morning.
Mark Fountain was diving off a private vessel with his 34-year-old son and his son's girlfriend near Tavernier when they became separated in the water, officials said.
The son told police officers when he returned to the boat he saw his father floating on the surface a short distance away, unresponsive.
The U.S. Coast Guard escorted them to Tavernier Creek Marina where they were met by paramedics.
Fountain was pronounced dead a short time later.
It's been a busy first day of lobster mini-season.
As of 11 a.m., Monroe County Sheriff's deputies had made 12 vessel stops and handed out 17 marine violations.
In Miami-Dade County, Florida Fish and Wildlife officers handed out six citations for undersized lobsters or going over the daily limit.
