That's very true, but now there are septic systems underwater there. I have my public safety diver gear (dry suit and FFM), which I was planning on using, but I would want a hot shower right after for hair with a good ear flush.

I'm pretty sure you are always diving in "untreated" lake water. The water doesn't get treated till it goes from the lakes to the treatment plants.
That has to suck, right? I've been diving locally the past couple weekends helping with OW classes and I will be tomorrow and Sunday as well. We have two classes that will be combined. One class from SMU of 20 and then one from the shop that's either 6 or 8. So it's going to be a big class. My instructor would like all of us DMT's out there to help but I'm sure a couple won't make it. There are 7 in class but due to crappy weather Wednesday night only 3 of us made it to class and one of us isn't going to the lake. So I guess we'll see how many we end up with tomorrow. I thought the instructor was going to send out an email asking everyone to show up but so far I haven't seen it. Guess we'll find out. I was hoping to get out to WP soon but looks like that won't be happening for a while. Moreover, I wanted to dive Spring Lake, too. Guess we'll get there soon enough.Nasty. They're saying the boil water notice is to last until at least Sunday. I suspect with this week's rain flowing down to Travis in the next few days, it'll be at least a week before diving in Travis is viable. It looks like the class I have next weekend will be in Spring Lake - darn
