I know that the water off Boynton in February is, as Mike Gray has
stated in the past, "Too cold for humans".

But its now mid-May, so I would have figured that I would have seen at
least a few springtime dive report by now.

Heck, even NJ considers Memorial Day to be the official start of our
summer beach season, and there will be swimmers out in our 50ish waters.

It wouldn't take much of a Boynton dive report from the Splashdown to
tempt a dried-out Northerner to head South for a quick weekend of whole
body hyperbaric warm saline immersion therapy. It does a body good :-)

The weekend of June 10th is open on my calendar and I've got a free
ticket on Continental Airlines to West Palm. What to do, what to do...

Myself and a friend will be diving Splashdown this weekend (5/19-5/20)
for probably the morning and afternoon Sat and morning Sunday. I hadn't
seen any pretty fish in quite a long time, so figure it is time to do
some single tank diving again.

Dang, thought you had disappeared for good. Nice to see you're kicking.

Was on the Explorer this morning, flat seas, still a chilly 78
degrees, 90' viz, moderate current, big loggerheads all over the
place, mating batfish, guitarfish, all the usual characters.
Couple of monster jewfish out on pitstop, billions of whelk eggs
on the inside.

Rumor mill has it that someone got bent on Splashdown - from the
group?
