Hey Mongoose, long time no read! I'm assuming you mean you went to TSP yesterday? My husband's gauges showed 53 degrees at 25', but I never looked at mine... I'm one of those "ignorance is bliss" kinda gals. Maybe his gauge is incorrect, kinda hope so, ha!
We did a 45 minute dive, the vis was probably the best I've seen out there, at least 5 good ft., like you said. ;o) In some spots I believe we had around 8, however. I sold my 7mm Henderson, it didn't fit me right. I layered two 3mm full suits, with my hood tucked between the two, and beanie over the hood. I never felt that "down the back" cold rush, the only thing that got cold were toes and fingers- I gotta get me some thicker gloves. One thing we were very grateful for was the nice hot showers at TSP. That really was a heckuva lot better than shivering and shaking while packing our gear. We had the lake to ourselves, saw some great bass, turtles, sunperch and lots of babies.
