Clark Hill/ Lake Thurmond

The water is so warm the fish are sweating! 90 degrees plus at the surface (depth still need at 7mm and hood). Vis is great to 25', lousy 25-45' and great again after 45'. About 8-10' on the plane. The temps are killing the crayfish at 70' + (30%fatalities last week). However, we are finding new stuff below 90'. Diving this weekend Sat at 8a and 10a....

Is this mostly shore diving? Is there more on the bottom than just a plane. How big is the plane?

 

[diveprof]

We get bored with the plane. It is a Mitzu (probably 4-6 passenger), open for penetration with a bouyancy course and ski boat off the line towards the dam from the plane. The walls at 80 and 100' are more interesting. PM me if you would like to join us for diving. The local shops use the plane wings for OW training (@29').

Oh, it is cheap shore diving from the SC side of the dam. Rope at 20' along the rocks of the dam take you the the plane

Cool. The wife and I will have to get up there and check it out. We'll get in touch when we get a chance to get up there.
