Re: Current Vis Key West 0MM - Big Pine 30MM

Reef off Cudjoe - Despite calm seas and gentle wind a 8 foot layer of clear water with 40' horizontal vis was sitting on top of dirty water (10' horizontal vis) that went to the bottom. Plus, millions of moon jellies were riding an east current. Terrible diving conditions.

Re: Current Vis Key West 0MM - Big Pine 30MM

Unklefidel and I took the go fast ski out to the reef today for a little bit today...I was freaking cold in my 2mm suit but i drank a ton of water and peed as often as i could.

Todays catch.




We saw some monster lion fish today. Biggest ones Ive ever seen on the reef. No joke 14-17 inches...If i had my shears today, i would have shot some. Dive buddy chris took these two on a single shot and this nice hog too.

Western Dry Rocks was clear, dirty in deeper water at the bottom. Sand Key was ok, Eastern was dirty, clear water on top but with a nasty thermocline. Black Grouper everywhere.
