North Shore Frogmen

The North Shore Frogmen, January 17th
The weather forecast was predicting heavy winds and snow, plus winter "Parking bans" for this Sunday. Any chance of a winter dive at this location looked grim.
Regardless, the North Shore Frogmen and few visitors showed up for a nice splash in the ocean @ White Beach . We were welcomed with mild air temps,37, plenty of open parking, and calm, mild seas. We had a total of eleven divers, plus 1 wet diver(Mr. Jack.M), and 4 guests (NELD divers, who attended, please "Sound-Off").
Air Temp was 37. Not much in the way of marine life, except some hermit crabs and 2 large Sea Ravens, (HUGE!!!) one was caught and free'd from a ghost trap. The average dive was about an hour, Viz was an amazing @ 20-30 ft, with a depth of max 30 ft.

Sorry we couldn't do a group photo, it was cold and we usually do a 1-1/2 hour window for divers jumping in, so it is impossible to get a group shot.
Best Wishes
