At the start of the dive we saw clown fish:

Then we got in the water.
Keith and Chad had just returned from a cave dive trip to Mexico diving many a cenote and had to be content with water far below the 70 degrees they enjoyed there.

| Where did the senoritas, the cenotes and the warm water go? |
We then headed out to the sunken boats:
 |
| Yes it is cold down here. |
One of the boats has a nice old scuba tank complete with an old J-valve attached sitting on the bow:
 |
| That'll buff right out. and she'll be ready to go..... |
The frame of the Model T form now supports a mirror so we can make sure we look good down there:

We didn't see any clown fish, or any other fish for that matter on this dive, but we did see some crayfish out amorously doing their thing:
 |
| 41 Degrees, 22 minutes into the dive, max depth 29 feet. |
Not a bad way to spend 30 minutes underwater on Sunday morning.

Gives me cold chills to think about - dat water waaaay too cold to go in!
Do you wear your contacts when diving, or do you have prescription goggles?
ProudHillbilly: With the right gear it is tolerable for awhile. Think a nice heated vest and a thick undergarment under the suit.
Scott: Contacts. That way if I have a mask problem I can switch to a backup mask or any of my dive buddys' backup masks without a problem.
It sucks during the no-mask drills as I need to have my eyes either shut or open just a bit to stop the contacts from getting washed out. Then again, in water that cold you want your eyelids tightly shut in any case or your eyeballs actually do freeze.
