Folly Cove Report 1/5/11

[fencingfish]

Orion612004 and I did Folly Cove this morning. High tide was at 11:34 and we were in the water at around 10:45. It was the highest tide I've seen at Folly. The entry was easy and we could drop down almost immediately. Visibility was stunning at about 25'. Dove the left side wall and from the start of the dive were impressed with the amount of life. Saw about 4 different species of nudibranch, clam worms, a small grubby, the resident northern red, and some sand lances. Didn't go all the way to the point, didn't feel the need to, used the northern red as the turn around point. Max depth 38fsw, total dive time 60 minutes, temperatures between 39-41 degrees F. Absolutely wonderful dive.

Nice report. Been itching to get back out and do some local diving. I'm assuming you guys were diving dry?

 

[fencingfish]

60 minutes at 39 degree F water, yeah, we were diving dry

Any lobstahas in there? Usually they're swarming when I dive that site at night-time.
