LewisEvans, Reefseal, a fellow ProjectDEEPer and I dove the Gloucester Breakwater today. Got in the water about noon. Temp ranged from 43*F at the surface to 41*F at the bottom. Max depth that I got was 19', Reefseal got 21' - maybe he stuck his comp further into the sand than me
Viz was variable. 10-15' in some places, but for most of the dive was in the 20-25' range.
Dive time was variable for all members. The two wetsuit divers called it around 30-45 minutes, Reefseal and I logged 61 minutes.
We dove the harbor side of the breakwater, lots of huge boulders and really great cracks with critters. Also a lot of trash. LewisEvans found a lumpfish. It was a big guy, almost a foot long (pic attached). Very exciting. Lots of nudibranchs and a decent sized winter flounder.
