Well, thanks to Tropical Storm Cindy and Hurricane Dennis, my vacation this year pretty much sucked! Not only did the weather not cooperate, but I also had a congested ear which kept me from diving 2 of those few days that were actually worthwhile. Basically, the only day we shot anything worth mentioning, was the day they announced the mandatory evacuations for visitors. I won't even mention the actual conditions, because they were abysmal. The winds were kicking about 10-20 (depending on the day) and the direction was fairly out of the east which made for some pretty sloppy chop when the tide was going out. The last day (which was actually the cleanest) we had 3-5 foot seas at only about 3-4 miles off.We were only diving about 20 feet, but luckily that was just about what we had in viz. The pictures (or lack thereof) will tell the tale in much more gruesome detail than I would care to go into here :P..
