Dive # 236


Date: March 24, 2006
Time: 6:30am
Location: Fisherman's Cove
Depth (feet): 33
Dive Time (minutes): 40
Surf (feet): 1
Surge (feet): 2-3 directly over the reef - minimal elsewhere
Water Temp (fahrenheit): 53
Visibility (feet): Ranged from 6-12
Visibility Description: Murky - but vastly improving over last week
Notes and Highlights: Met up with Paul Verhaar - easy in and easy out in minimal surf. Swam straight out and then around towards Diver's...ran along the reef walls and cracks. Saw a small moray and some lobster...not much else. Hole in my hood doesn't help with the cold - but overall a very nice dive compared to the last few.

Dive # 235


Date: March 21, 2006
Time: 6:30am
Location: Shaw's Cove
Depth (feet): 41
Dive Time (minutes): 38
Surf (feet): 1
Surge (feet): 2
Water Temp (fahrenheit): 52
Visibility (feet): 5
Visibility Description: Mucky
Notes and Highlights: Met up with Pablo Ducuron and did some good ol' fashioned muck diving...no surf and not much surge...just alot of "stuff" in the water - particularly closer to the reef than over the sand. Saw a dead 9" squid...don't think I've ever seen one at Shaw's...Overall - it's cold and not pretty - but it is wet!

Dive # 234

Date: March 18, 2006
Time: 6:30am
Location: Fisherman's/Diver's Cove
Depth (feet): 37
Dive Time (minutes): 43
Surf (feet): 2+
Surge (feet): 2-3
Water Temp (fahrenheit): LOW 50's
Visibility (feet): 0-5
Visibility Description: Murky - basically horrible
Notes and Highlights: Garrett is in town from AZ...met up and entered at Fisherman's. Dropped into murky mess and eventually found some reef...followed around and exited Diver's Cove. Saw a medium sized, fairly energetic sheep crab, but otherwise a blind, cold dive. Sorry Garrett - I hope the conditions get better quick.
