The water was so warm today some people ditched all their neoprene and dove only in bathing suits. Last Friday the water temperature was 68 F. Diving conditions in Palm Beach County, as they say, are variable.
 
Variable indeed; I wonder how many other dive destinations see that much water temp. variation that fast?

Keep that water warm!
