What are the water temps around Key Largo now?

Hi:

Headed to Key Largo on the weekend and would like to know what the water temps are right now.

Thanks!

I dove Key Largo this past weekend. We saw water temps in the low 80's. Most people were diving in their bathing suits. I'm a florida guy and get cold pretty easily so I dove a 1.5mm on the real shallow stuff, and a 3mm on the deep stuff.

Molasses reef is a pretty good proxy for Key Largo diving. You can also explore other nearby stations.
The link shows data for the past 24 hours, with water temp the rightmost non-empty column.
If you click on the triangular icon next to current water temp at the top, you get a plot of the past 5 days.

Past 24 hours: High was 84.6 degF at 6 PM, low was 83.1 at 8 AM.

A week and a half ago I used a 3/2 mm for the reef dives (~25 feet) where my computer registered 82 F, and a 5/4 mm for the Spiegel and Eagle where my computer registered 82 on the surface and 79 at ~100 feet. I am a bit of a wuss when it comes to water temps and would rather have too much suit than too little.
