Well, I was diving on the 2nd (Tomorrow), but someone backed out... . Still looking for tomorrow... Otherwise I have to wait and go diving on Tuesday instead...
Just a hunch but I think the vis will be terrible from this last storm system that we just had. It usually takes a couple calm days for vis to improve. At least the winds tomorrow are from the west and sunny which makes a big difference.
Regardless, I would be willing to give Cape Ann a go tomorrow though can only do in afternoon. High tide tomorrow is at 1:44 PM Around that time wind is supposed to be about 20 kts from W/NW which rules out westerly side sites like Folly. Would be willing to dive one of SE side (Norman's Woe, Magnolia Point..)
Can't do Tues as need to fly Wed on bus. (24 hr before fly rule thing) If either of you are iterested, send me a PM.
I got lucky and was asked by my two older kids if I wanted to dive Sat. Even though the weather wasn't the warmest we did beat the rain.
The surface was pretty warm, but it got cold deeper so in the interest of safety we did cut the dives a bit short. My daughter only did one dive out of the two (equalizing probs), and my son who usually will rough it out went to the surface to get warmer and we surface swam back in on the second dive. We all 3 dove wet.
surface temp was around 50, 51 mid forties at 25-30 ft.
Vis was great, as good as I have seen it there 20-30 ft.
If the sun is out it should be ok. If you are prone to get chilled bring a cpl of gallons of warm water and prime your suit before you enter and plan to do shallower dives.
Didn't see many bugs but three of them found their way into my game bag (lucky lil devils).
Yes, it was a bit cool at depth (42 degrees at 50 feet) when I did a Scallop charter Friday PM. but vis was excellent. Did well on scalloping as well. The scallops were jumping into my bag. I came home w/ about 5 1/2 lbs worth.. Mmmmm. The boat had fr. water heated by engines to pour into my suit before 2nd dive. Made a big difference warming up gloves in water.
I was thinking we can meet at Cape Ann Divers. I need to go there to fill up my tanks.
The time to meet is up to you. I think it would be good if it's a time all three of us can go because I'm a little worried that I might have a small cold. If that happens then at least you two can still dive. I plan to go no matter what! If what I'm feeling is going to turn into a cold then I'll just snorkle in my wetsuit.
Meeting at CAD at 10:00 AM works for me. I just need to be out of water to make a 30 min call from cell at 1:00. I'll try to drive up a little earlier to drive by some of sites and check conditions.
