CSSP Sunday, April 28

[Guba]

Island Frog and I hit CSSP for the first time in a while (nearly two years for me). The visibility was about the second best I've ever seen it. We had probably over 20 feet in some places, and almost nowhere we went had less than 12. Of course, that thermocline at 23 feet was pretty sharp...my computer showed 57 degrees. For me, that's a shade (or two) beyond "comfortable" (go ahead...call me a weenie. I don't care.) We still managed to get an hour underwater, so it was all good. I tried out my new DIY UW LED video lights ( I know, that's a lot of alphabet, there). They work! They aren't going to light up the night like a HID, but TWO of them cost me less than a hundred bucks...housings, lamps, tray and all. Very acceptable results, so I'd say it's a success.


Hope to see y'all on the next one!

Thanks! What were the temps above the thermal?

Wups, left that out. I had 68 or 69 degrees on the surface (depending on location), and that was fairly steady down to the thermocline. Cool, but not that bad.
