Recovery Operation off Scituate Tonight

MASS-Diver · Feb 20, 2005

I heard that State Police divers are in the water tonight looking for a body after a fishing boat caught fire and sunk. It must be pretty harsh out there. It was cold all day and my buddy (a commerical fisherman) told me the wind was pretty strong as well.

Hi, massdiver. How cold is the water now anyway?

For the last few weeks, I've gotten pretty sick of skiing and can't wait to start the diving again. Just got back from Wachusset mountain. Damn moguls are so iced up, I did a somersault and landed on my back. Now I hear something squeaking there when I walk :06: .

I've been out injured for a few months now - but my guess is the water is in the upper 30s?

36-37 degrees F

But it should be like mid 40s in about a month right? Or am I too optimistic?

No, beginning of April is still ussualy in the high 30's, by the end of the month it starts to warm up.

For what it's worth....

It's a mix of buoys and harbor reporting stations so it's a little misleading.

It's also completely inaccurate for diving since it only supplies surface temperatures. The warmest I've ever seen it at 100 ft is about 52-54 degrees.

ditto - 52-54 at 100' is toasty, for most of the summer it's in the mid-40s at depth.

I knew that.... but I wasn't thinking of it when responding. It does probably give a sense of when the temp starts to swing... yes?
