Bonne Terre Mine March 17 & 18

[Wkndbum]

Dove the Mine last weekend, had a good time. Staff was friendly, good natured & helpful. I was kind of surprised considering they had 60 divers there on Sat, it was really packed, they were running about 45 min to an hour & a half late all day long.

Did trails 10, 6A/8A (she improvized) & 7 on Sat. Trail 9 on Sun am, this was by far the best dive I've been on there. Brenda was our guide.

Probably make a trip again next year, didn't have to drive this time so that really helped.

Anybody have any other ?, give me a shout.

Hey Terry,

What was the vis like? Pardon me for such an FNG question, but have never been there.

Could you give me some more details?

Thanks,

Vis ranged from 60' to 100' plus depending on which trail you were on. Lots of divers in the mine kind of stired it up a bit too.

My computer showed temp @ 57

Kind of pricey dives but I really enjoyed the weekend.

I recommend renting weights, you don't have to but everything you carry down into the
mine, has to be carried out. Everything you carry into the mine will probably be wet by the time you come out unless it's in a water proof bag.

If you have any questions about your gear, how the operation is run, dive plan or whatever, just ask your dive guide or safety diver, they all seemed helpful & eager to
answer questions.

Any questions, give me a shout.

Have fun!
