Whats the water temp up there? Is it warm because of the weather, or has the water gotten chilly anyway? Looking to take a drysuit course, and wondering if now would be ok or if it's too cold!
Anyone dive Dutch Springs recently?

Scubafool.... You better get back out into the sun. You are starting to look a little pale. Too much time in the caves I guess. :O)

I thought Dutch was closed due to the season?
But if your doing a dry suit course, I wouldnt be concerned with the cold. Thats what the drysuit is for

I had 48 degrees at 61' on new year's eve. The water temp shouldn't change much the rest of the winter, right?
I believe that Dutch is closed to the public until April but that it opens on an occasional weekend each month in the winter specifically for training purposes. Check with your LDS. I've heard that water temps are in the mid-40s. Take the dry suit course, wear the right underwear, and make sure you have thick warm gloves and you should be fine. My last winter dive there was last January or February and we hit 39 degrees. Fingers were a little cold towards the end of the dive, but that's all. Dive safe.

Dutch is closed to the public until April but is available with an instuctor.

They're open one weekend in Jan and one in Feb, but you have to be with an instructor...not necessarily in a formal class.
The Jan date is 1/20-1/21.
