Dive Report 4/20 Stonington, CT

Hi,

Don and Ed, decided to do an after work dive. We were provided with surface support from Rory and Steve; they could not dive for different reasons. Strong current, poor visibility, tons of horseshoe crabs. Visibility around 5-10 feet. But the good news, water temp was 44oF.

Thanks for the info... We dove Jamestown, RI on 4/9 (drysuit specialty) and the vis was ~16ft and the water temp was 41oF...

Too bad the vis wasn't better at Stonington, yet, but it's nice to know the temperatures are warming up. Thanks.

I've never seen a seahorse in New England. Are they common down there?

In Stonnington it was probably a pipefish of somesort they have heads like a seahorse I see them often in Stonington

Ok now we got he seahorse thingy straight. Were did you guys go to feel a current. You usually have to go far out and to the south to get a current at Stonington. Did you guys go for a cruise around the left off the bench and into the channel?
