Yes, Storm is open for diving again. However, there are on going negotiations that will take place over the winter with new rules, policies and expectations that will likely take place beginning with the new dive season in 2012. In the meantime all the points highlighted by WVMIKE should be...

I've contacted a couple of the dive shops that use the lake and they are going to explain to VEPCO how they use the lake for training fire fighters, police officers and boosting the local economy with sales, classes, campground fees, the local restaurant and hotel near the lake. Many divers use...

For those who are unaware there is currently a dive by boat only restriction for Mt. Storm. I don't know a lot but what I have been able to ascertain from some of the folks I work with who are in the know and very reliable sources is that it seems that the ever present problems between...

Headed to the Storm right now. :O)

Dove Mt. Storm today, water temperature was a balmy 74*F. These few warm days have made a big difference. :O)

Storm is going backwards. 21 May the water temperature was 68*F to 70*F at the surface and definitely 68*F at depth down to about 55'. The vis was bad due to lots of classes moving around. We did one dive after the classes packed up and left and the silt clouds were gone of course but it was...

I was there 11 May and the water temps were 70*F down to about 30' and the vis was about 6' to 8'. Things are looking up. We were going up there today but the forecast was 80% chance of thunderstorms and a high of 69*F so we opted out and rescheduled for next Saturday. Some of our friends went...

News Update: The Corps of Engineers is holding back flows in many of their impoundments to help relieve some of the flooding in some of the lower states, KY, Tenn etc. Summer pool levels are expected to be much higher in many of the lakes of WV as a result. Summersville Lake could go as much...

Conditions as of Tuesday 26 April 11: Mt. Storm dive conditions - Our first trip to the Storm this season to finish our Public Safety Diver Course. We had 2'-3' seas, water temps were 64*F down to about 30' with no noticeable thermocline and visibility in the 4'-5' range. Still a little...

If anyone makes it up to the Storm soon please PM me with the temps. I have some refresher folks that need to get wet asap. Thanks in advance. :O)

After doing some research I know of no such permanent closing to the plant. They sometimes shut down for repairs, temporarily, around this time of year. Please state you source Doc.

I can't get them to work either by clicking the link. But if you copy and paste it into your browser they seem to work fine........ :confused:

Great video, thanks for sharing. :) Looks like you guys were tangled pretty good in your lanyards.

Not making this trip but I have been there before and it's a lot of fun. I tried on and dived 3 suits in one day. :O) Have a great time!

Glad to be of help.

There is a small community of divers that frequent the lake. None of which dive much or at all with Sarges. Not that there is anything wrong with sarges but we do a lot of classes and shore diving on our own. The thermoclines are many and often and the temps will depend greatly on when you plan...

So true!

Yep, yep sounds like par for the Storm.

I knew her, though not well. She and her husband were members of our little dive group, Mid-Atlantic Darkwater Divers (MADD). She and her husband dived Mt. Storm, WV and have been involved with our cookouts and been diving at the lake with us. She will be missed by our little group. My...
