Condition at Minnie?

[aaen]

Curious to know if anyone has gone diving at Lake Minnewanka since the floods in Banff/Canmore. Presuming the bis is horrible, but I'm looking to get out and put some time in the water on the new rebreather and hoping there is at least 5 feet of vis.

Let me know!!

As of last week, there was no diving or watercraft permitted at Minne. The spillway is open for the first time in 15 years, and it's predicted to remain open for at least the next three weeks. Anything on or in the water within a 200M radius is at risk of getting sucked over. As for the vis, when we asked one of the rangers if the water was like chocolate milk, he laughed and told us it was mud. It doesn't look like Minne will be good for a long time to come.

Anyone been out in the lake yet? I've been busy with work and when i het a good break I take off for the island ti see the gf, so I haven't had a chance to make it up yet to Minnie to check out the old stomping grounds.

I talked to a guy on Monday who has been at Minny within the last couple of weeks. He said that it's ~5-10' above 20', ~ 4-5' above 40 and millimeters below that.

Not good.

We haven't even bothered trying to teach at Minnie this year. Spending a lot of time in Waterton on the weekends.

Bad July 1st weekend. 2-3' max even at 110'. Good thing the lines were there from the power boat.

Haven't been on the wreck since then but I can tell that things have cleared up a lot. I'll be there Labour Day weekend if anyone wants to join up.
