Diving Lately

[JKSteger]

Has anyone been diving at the 'ole mudhole in a while? I know it's getting cold but I remember some of our most memorable dives were in the cold water of the mudhole...Lanier!

I haven't been in the ol' mud hole since my PADI IE in 07, but I need to get my gills wet. Any news on a group heading out to get some BT in the lake?

I went diving with 3 other people on Nov 15th from Mask Cove (West Bank Park). Water temp was fine with a 7 mm wetsuit, someone had a 5 mm and was freezing. The thermocline is at around 65 ft and vis at and below the thermocline is non-existent. Vis above the thermocline ranges from 8-12 ft. Not much to see, but at least one can still dive in November.

I have been covered up with work and hockey but I'm gonna try to get wet in a few weeks if anyone is interested.

Hi Joe8mofo,
Do a report on Lake Jocassee Nov. 28.
Thanks

On Saturday we went to Lake Jocassee to get in some deep water diving, and the conditions in the lake were great for it. I first would like to report that the Dive park that is accessible from Devil's Fork park is closed until around January 16th due to trout stocking. As the Dive Park is closed, we found access from the walk-in camp sites. Maximum depth was 95 feet and the water temperature was 61 F at depth. Visibility was around 20 feet at 90' depth, and 20-30 feet at 50' depth
