Anybody dive Travis this weekend?

Looking for a vis report...

LTTS water temp profile today shows a fairly sharp thermo about 40 ft or so with a temp of almost 60 in the top 40 foot.

Thinking about an evening/night dive one night this week to try out my new quattro's and boots, play with weight adjustment to get trimmed out right when using my hooded vest. And maybe finally use my u/w housing I got for christmas.

Hoping someone else got a chance to get wet this weekend and took it

What day are you planning on going? I'd be interested in going if you are looking for company.

Hey Joe,

With the weeks forecast, I am looking at Tuesday or Wednesday evening as tentative date, but have to see what is going on at work this week. Would be glad for company, but dive plan is mostly to diddle with equipment config and stay 50 max.

I will post again this evening when I know more.

A friend made it up to Mansfield yesterday and reported:

Vis to a depth of 40' was 12' and about 10' at 90' deep.

can't ask for much better than that....

Well, you can ask, but ya aren't likely to get it very often in Travis anymore.

And even when I started diving it way back when it was still rare to see much beyond 14-16' vis, although you did tend to see it a whole lot more often.

But 10 will work fine, I am just sick of diving by braille.

Still working on confirmation, but shooting for tomorrow early evening, getting off early enough to pick up tanks on way to lake and get out there between 6 and 7. Figure on spending a bit of time adjusting weighting, and then going for a test drive of it when I think I've got it, probably staying around 30-40 ft for a quick out and back along the contour line.

Will post more later.

Any way wednesday afternoon would work for you?

Are you planning on WP or Mansfield?

 

[NadMat]

Looks like Wednesday would work as well, don't think it'll rain substantially before early Thursday am.

I am thinking that Mansfield would be better than WP, was looking to get as rocky an entry as possible, which is impossible at Bob wentz anymore, but I guess we could try Barstows and see if the water is up to the stairs yet.

I'll be coming up from S.A. so just tell me which day, time, & place and I'll be there.

Do you want to save a few bucks and carpool into the park together? Either way.

Hey Joe, forecast looks better, so I'm thinking Wednesday will work fine, give me an extra day to check over gear, hasn't been in water since new years day dive when I lost my Jet.
