Dive Barnegat Inlet in December
Quote:
Yes, very confusing. You took it out of context. My point was that most E4's I used to know, Corporals that is, wouldn't put up with civilians giving them a bag of shit about doing their job. |

Re: Daily Vis report thread
When I served, E4 was split as Senior Airman and Seargent. You did not get the NCO status until time in grade and passing a test.

I am ~ 5'7" and ~157lbs but I must have a lower density body perhaps, I don't know, but 16lbs only is way too much buoyancy with my 5 mm. By the way, the suit is a farmer style Open suit so there is a significant overlap of the lower and upper part at the level of the chest. So there, it is 10 mm of neoprene, not 5 mm. Perhaps that explains why I need so much weight? I made a movie with some clips, i'll put it online tomorrow. |

5mm in Oyster Creek ...
Great, I need a still for my profile.
Ric, I think you're correct, there's more neoprene on your suit, even though mine is 5.5mm. A few more lb's should help compensate. I just picked up three, eight pound Sea Pearls. I'm going to put the 24lbs on a Marseillaise belt and see how it counteracts the buoyancy of my 7mm. Next time we dive the inlet I'll bring a few different rubber belts -- 16lbs, 20lbs, and 24lbs, you could try one out and see how it feels with the vest. One other thing Ric. Plastic fins are a must in the inlet, too many rocks for fiber blades. Stiffer fins aid in ascending and descending though. They may be less maneuverable in shallower water and more tiresome, but they're a must for deeper diving -- beyond equalization. |

Re: Daily Vis report thread
done !
https://youtu.be/WP_7pVhVRQw WM, I don't know how you can make a good still out of that, it's 720p X 60fps. But some frames could make an avatar. |

Many thanks in advance dugan- |

Re: Daily Vis report thread

Regarding the granules, honestly, in the place where WM and I have been, the water is 'clean' only when the granule map is totally clear in the North East map, and it has to be clear for two days straight, which never happens in Summer. In Summer, when one day it's clear, the day after there are granules, but it translates in my experience in bad visibility ALL the time, starting in early July. What are these granules ? the chart says it's linked to the chlorophyll content, aka algea bloom, aka nutrients from run off that accumulate in the bay and turn into algea. But water is too cold to make algea bloom now, yet you've seen in the video that I've posted that the water is full of particles and that was before ebb. So in short, I don't what they are, clay particle, sand, algea ? When we arrived last Sunday with WM, around 10:30AM there were several tug boats with a train of long floating 'sausages' and also there was some boats digging the bay. I don't know what they are up to, probably cleaning the channel, and that possibly created the disturbance. |

low vis, fog, poor seal ... great dive
Quote:
You made a couple of nice dives on the clip, showcasing, 'for the record' descending and ascending in poor vis, as well as the bottom of the inlet at a depth of between 25 and 30' in the two locations that I've dived at off of the South Jetty this Fall. Good relief down there Ric -- nice sandy bottom, littered with large boulders. That should be good habitat for predators, I recommend approaching with both stealth and caution. Come Spring, if you need someone to get in the water with you, let me know. --John |

Thanks about the video. It's basic settings done in goprostudio, but I can say that it is much better on my computer than the uploaded version in you tube. Beside the pixelisation, I also feel the Youtube version is more shaky, which is annoying because I specifically shoot in 60fps to have a smooth video. I guess that issue doesn't belong in this thread. Quote:
See you in Spring then, unless there is a warm weather episode in between. |

I didn't take it out of context. I told you I went in there and talked to them. I'm not a civilian, I'm an E7. And when I ask to talk to the CO, I get a PO2, and tell him he's enforcing waterways that aren't really his to enforce laws on, and then enforcing incorrect laws, I'm not really carrying civilian status... I'd have told the same shit to an CO. I could care less if it's an officer. If I have printed regulation/laws, I'll tell an O6 he is wrong. I guess you just assumed I was a civilian and didn't live my life by regulation. Nothing gets done in my job unless it's to a regulation T. So having an E4 show me they don't know what their job is, strikes a cord with me when I'm out trying to relax....

Re: Daily Vis report thread
Hi guys,
Sunday forecast for NJ shore is 3-4 ft waves and 40kts wind gust. Rough, but could it be manageable in Barnegat inlet since the jetty is supposed to break the waves ? |
