Anyone up for a dive on 10/18?

Thought I'd head out to Lake Pleasant (Scorpion Bay?) for a dive or two on Thursday morning 10/18. Any takers?

As far as I am aware Scorpion Bay is closed besides being high-n-dry due to lake level. Personally I haven't been to lake in a couple months because the conditions have been so bad.

Sorry to hear that. You are going this weekend aren't you? I'd welcome some news on the conditions.

I am going this weekend on the dam dive.... I was out there about 3 weeks ago and dove by the 10 lane boat ramp off the little peninsula to the east of the ramp and the temp was good the vis was about 8 ft...and actually got some depth...but Scorpion Bay would be un-dive-able at the current water level...and I also believe it is closed to the public right now....

I've never dove by the boat ramp. What are the depth and the terrain like?

If you drive down the right side of the ramp and go out on the peninsala....on the north side you will get to 70-90 ft.... gradual slope....some rock etc....found lots of sunglasses, anchors, and a new fire extinguisher!!! Not a bad dive...lots of underwater trees, and fish!!!

Thanks -- I'll give it a shot.

I am going this weekend on the dam dive....

By the way, how was the dam dive? How were conditions?

 

[Reef Man]

It was good.... Did two dives...one on the south side down to about 80ft...and the second on the north side down the rope...to 115ft.... Surface temp 75, 40-70ft temp was 72, another thermocline at 85ft at 115 the temp was 63.....

Vis was about 8-10 ft on the top of the dam at 35ft and after 80 ft it was black and vis with dive lights was about 2ft!!!!

What time of year does the water clear up -- I've been told that the water does get clearer when it cools off.
