So as some of you know yesterday was the great american coastal cleanup day. Our local dive club for the 5th year in a row did our clean up at a local "lake". I put lake in quotes because it isn't really much of a lake, it is actually a flooded area between two dams.
This is the first year I have done the dive with the club. I must say lake diving isn't as much fun as you people make it sound. Don't get me wrong, the cold and low vis is nothing new to me, I dive in Monterey regulary. There was nothing alive in this lake.
Here is a breif description of the dive...
Descend, pick up beer can, bottle, keg surface give to somebody in a pedal boat. Descend, pick up beer can, lawn chair, beer can, lawn chair, beer can, package of unopened peperoni (?) ascend, give to boat ad nauseum.
I guess the only interesting thing we found was a pay phone...half of it on one side of the bridge the other half 100 yards away.
The thing I guess I am trying to say is unless it is lake tahoe I am done diving in lakes.
