With all of the cold weather here in Florida last week I was psyched to hear it was warming up for the weekend. I was ready to get in the water and signed to dive with Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures (Bahamas & Palm Beach, Florida Scuba Diving :: Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures)! Unfortunately, the seas didn't cooperate so well. Saturday we had solid 5-7 foot seas with the occasional 8-10 footers that really kept life interesting. Sunday was a little better and calmed down quite a bit by the second dive of the morning. The captain and crew were outstanding, especially given the challenging conditions.
Water temps were 74 degrees and visibility around 60 feet or so. Unfortunately, it was overcast with occasional downpours which didn't make for good lighting for photography.
We had to stay close to the inlet and dove Midreef and Playpen/Toybox on Saturday and then another dive on Midreef followed by South Doubles on Sunday. However, we did see a TON of turtles, along with the usual suspects of eels, stingrays, nurse sharks, and lots of tropical fish.
