My LDS is bringing a OW class to Mammoth this weekend. I'm headed up there to get in my nitrox and night dives Saturday, and my navigation cert Sunday. Any swampers headed that way?
Anyone at Mammoth this weekend?

I will be there this week but I am just not sure how much I will be diving since I will be working. I got a report yesterday of 15' vis.

Alright, that was a interesting weekend. I left with a nitrox, night and navigation certs and a urge to come back and explore all the rest of the stuff down there. My LDS was on a dock near the main building so that area is all I got to dive this time. The C-130E was awesome in daylight and as my first night dive.
The best part was Saturday night I was the only one in the entire park camping. It was me and some cows across the back fence. About 6 in the morning I woke up to some strange pitter patter noise. Then to water dripping through my roof vent on me. Crap! Rain! I ran to the car to grab my rain fly to try and keep my bedding dry. Got the rain fly on, and tried to get in only to realize I put the darn thing on backwards, the door was facing the tent window.
I went and sat in the car for 20min or so while the rain passed. Sleeping bag and cot were soaked so I decided to lay around and watch the water until the food place next door opened. Coffee and pancakes
Why no, I was never a boyscout.
Oh, anyone know what all the green snot is in Mammoth?

Klint,
I am glad that you enjoyed diving at ML. The C-130 is a great dive. There are also several other wreck dives that I like.
What "green snot" are you talking about.? Could that be algae?

I didn't touch any of it, but green and snot like along some of the wrecks and the oil rigging. It looked almost exactly like the green sticky hands out of coin machines.

I can't think of what you are talking about other than it being algae. I won't be in the water again until this next weekend before I can figure out what the green slime is.
