Bonne Terre week after Christmas?

[DebtheDiver]

Are there any dive shops planning to lead a group to Bonne Terre during the week between Christmas and New Years?

That's an odd time of year for Bonne Terre. Wouldn't most folks go warm water?

Looking to dive cheap and close without breaking out a drysuit....

The entire thing is underground and water temp is constant year-round.

I know that. It's just an odd destination for the holidays.

Ah I see I had mis-understood what you meant but can see it now. It's 9:30 here past my bedtime.

You might want to check to see if they will even be open that week. Usually only open Sat and Sun. If you decide to go let me know, I live about 3 hrs away and have been wanting to get up there.

If you decide to go to Terre Mine in December I am interested, too.

Hey guys new to the forum here. Am looking into Bonne Terre myself. Anyone ever been? Wandering if a 7 mill wet suit, 7 mill hood, 5 mill gloves, 5 mill boots with 2 mill socks is adequate to stay comfortable during the dive?

That should work. I would spend the entire day there in an out of the water with a 1/4" farmer john, step in jacket top, hood and gloves.
