July 2013: Hot July brings cooling showers, Apricots and gillyflowers. Who's with me?

I will get list updated later tonight when I make it back to the house.

Weather was wet, rain once a day, but never more than 30min to an hour.

Currents were "meh" at best, whacky at the worst. Still great diving. I hope to get some vids posted to vimeo soon that I took. Saw the HUGEST loggerhead ever on one dive.....video does not do the scale of it justice. Was easily 5-6' long!

We've hit some bad currents. I got blown off the reef at Cidral today. Diving in the current is def a new experience for me and today was def not a fun day.

Thanks Brules! Looks like a lot of folks have come and gone already. Sure would like to hear from those whom have dove recently. Conditions? Currents calming down yet? Viz?

5 more days!

Cheers

Mark

Currents are better I hear as the depressions/TS's that were around are all gone......I assume it's back to more normal currents.

If with them whacky, it was still great diving.

 

[goclimbing]

Currents are not bad. Viz is pretty darn good. After two days of diving here I'm hooked. Already planning my return trip in November.

Aldora is a great place to stay and dive with.

Will start a trip report soon with photos.

200-300 whale sharks and 30-40 mantas last friday (on IM). crazy.

It's still July.... bump!
