Went diving this morning w/ hbhobby down at Vista Pt. Visibility was slightly reduced compared to when I went a month ago. It was about 15 - 20 ft. This could have been because of the lack of sun shine and there was a Rescue Diver class that was kicking up a good amount of bottom. Temps are in the 80's above the thermocline (all you need is a swimsuit) and much colder below (didn't get a reading). My buddy and his wife were doing two tanks, but I only did one. The thermocline really surprised me by being around 40+ feet. We were able to go down the wall and not feel it until almost bottom. It was good for them because they didn't have wetsuits. I had a 3/2 on and it would have been plenty warm if we wanted to go deeper. We maxed out around 45 ft and saw some fish. The zebra mussels are everywhere, but at least the fish are still around. My buddy does most of his diving at Roosevelt lake so him and his wife were amazed by the clarity of Lake Pleasant and even more amazed when i told them it was a low vis day!!!

I wish I would have made it out yesterday. It turned out to be a good day after all. Where at Roosevelt does your buddy dive? A buddy and I dove out there last Thanksgiving weekend. I'd like to try it again. Maybe we can meet up with them sometime.
