bennyO - 2/11/2024 1:16 AM I went scuba diving here on 8/26/2009. Average viz: 81-90ft/25-27m. Dive Buddy: Eric Lo Visibility was outstanding Remember to account for difference between 3mm and 5mm suit. 28lbs still too heavy tho. Small tugboat w schools of Spanish mackerel, sea bass, grouper, multiple barracudas. Striking visibility, really blue and clear, warmer in the Atlantic than I expected. New gloves were kinda slippery on the anchor line
