    I normally only dive oronogo, it's close and worth 12$ in my opinion. Sometimes there is good vis, sometimes there isn't... Normally the deeper dives is where the visibility is best ( cabin cruiser - ss budweiser - etc ).. until a nitrox class decides to tap dance on the wall next to the...

    Oronogo Sept 22

    Really just depends on how many people are there. It was 10ft+ at 100ft last weekend, until some people came down on top of us and silted it up then it was 2ft or less. Later in the afternoon, everyone else left and it was just me and my dive buddy. It went back to 10ft + on that dive...

    Lake Norfork

    How cold would you consider cold? A buddy I work with used to live in florida, him and his wife dove all the time there. Ive never been to norfolk, but i'm sure the temps are close to where they are at Oronogo. Which i've seen anywhere from 80 on the surface, to 45 or so at 100ft...

    Naegleria

    There have been 6 cases in the last (2)months with swimmers :14: Am I that worried about it? Not really, i'll still dive. I'd just like to know without a doubt that they cannot survive in the water I dive in :) Which is a old lead / zinc mine in Missouri.

    Naegleria

    Yeah i've read the fact sheet, just wondering if there are any reported diver deaths from it. The water temp around here is in no way warm, but on the surface the water is warm enough for it :/ Normally diving around here requires a 7mm suit, gloves, boots, etc even for a 60 ft...

    Naegleria

    With all the news recently about Naegleria deaths, does anyone know of any divers being infected? Do you think the waters of Kansas / Missouri are open to this parasite? I'm normally not this paranoid, if it was something that made me really sick.. but didn't kill in 2 weeks or less I...

    Oronogo Sept 22

    I would love to go, but I don't know if i'll be able to due to funds.. just so happens my alternator decided to go out on my car :/ There was once a time when this wouldn't have hurt me financially ( my family used to own the local auto parts store :P ) but now... thats 150$ out of...

    I'll probably never have to, but really.. you can't go wrong with 35$ a year. I'm also contemplating getting my cave cert, and I am not going into a cave underwater without more insurance :)
