The barbecue was great, thanks to LIDA for the food and drinks. Marine biologists and scientists from the local schools gave a short pre dive briefing and then it was time to gear up and get wet. Currents around the bridge are severe, so it is imperative to be in the water for slack tide. This gives you about 20 minutes before the tide turns and starts ripping again. The dive went well. Several tropicals where collected. 3 Foureye Butterflyfish, a Bigeye, and a Bluespotted Cornet fish. Visibility was less than perfect with a max around 4 ft. which made spotting the tropicals difficult to say the least since they where only between 1/2 to 2 inches long. These fish come up north on the gulf stream and wind up in the bays of Long Island. If they are not found and collected, they would not survive the cold northeast winters. Dive Buddy Oceanfloor made the trip from Ohio, which I’m pretty sure was the greatest distance traveled to make a half hour night dive in bad vis.
