June is here and the water is warming up to the 77-78 degrees Fahrenheit mark, which means wet suits are optional. Weather is now in the summer pattern, mostly calm to light breezes with afternoon thunderstorms, excellent diving conditions with visibility 100-feet-plus. June brings with it large schools of mutton snapper, Atlantic spadefish and large schools of cero mackerel. In June we continue to see eagle rays down on the wall at 100-feet. If you are properly trained for âdeep divesâ, donât forget your camera as the rays are quite impressive in size and color.
Safety tip for June: Remember to clear your ears early and often to avoid discomfort; blow against a pinched nostril, which simultaneously relaxes the tissues surrounding the Eustachian tube and forces air through it.
Fun tip for June: Check out our new website, click the Fish Library tab under the Gallery Photos on the website and see who can identify the most species of fish on your next dive. The one stop website for travel to Eleuthera.
Diver tip for June: Too long a surface interval is not good for your health, dive early and dive often.
