Time: 5:30pm
Location: Shaw's Cove
Depth (feet): 36
Dive Time (minutes): 43
Surf (feet): 1 1/2
Surge (feet): varied...heavy in shallows - very light inside the reef
Water Temp (fahrenheit): I guess 64-65...no hood
Visibility (feet): 10-15
Visibility Description: fair - a little murky around the edges and less in shallows with heavier surge
Notes and Highlights: Dove with Scott...bless me father - it has been 4 weeks since my last dive...it was GOOD!!! to get back in the water. The surface was very rough...one of those surface swims out where you keep getting slapped in the back of the head...odd surf - coming in almost from Diver's Cove towards the beach...and rough...but not big so easy in and out. Shallow was a lot of surge with the surface chop - but once we ducked inside the reef it was almost non-existent...very, very low tide might help with the inside reef surge. It was a octopus night...at least a dozen nice two spotters out in the open - on sand and the reef. Great, easy dive through the inner passages - out to the Crescent side and back through the "window"...love that trek at night, and especially with minimum surge. Went back up the outside of the reef past turn-around and well...turned-around. Easy out and a great time had by all!
