Comments	I flew down from Philadelphia on July 6. The Philadelphia airport was pretty busy considering it was mid-morning, mid-week.

I ditched my hooded vest for the second dive and was much better. Visibility was not great, mostly about 30 feet, particulate and floating red algae in the water. Sadly, there is still red algae on the reefs. Current was moderate to brisk north on both dives. First dive was at Area 51. One Loggerhead and one Goliath Grouper, along with usual reef fish.
