DUI Demo Days at Beaver Lake

[diverdown247]

For those of you who wanted to go and didn't, you missed a pretty good sized group. There was a little waiting on dry suits on Saturday, but Sunday morning was dead. 15 minutes and you would have been in the water.

Unfortuantely, I was exhausted from diving the day before so I did not get to dry suit test dive like I had hoped. We ended up aiding in the rescue/recovery of an overturned sailboat almost directly across from the DUI site. Nobody hurt, just bruised pride on the captain of the sailboat.

For those who tried their first dry suit dive this past weekend: be glad you tried one. We had a night/deep dive that night along the bluffs. The temp at the surface was 62 degrees. At 60ft, it dropped to about 40 degrees. Talk about a thermocline shock!

Glad to hear everyone had fun and there was a big turnout this year.. Wish I could have made it, but I was down south logging over 10 hours underwater during the week. Oh yeah... I went to a few lectures too.. When's the next dive??

I was just telling a friend that when you dive you dive. I'd say we had fun at the event and I'll do it again next year. I wish those lakes were closer to here however. I want to dive Monte Ne next time, hope the water level goes up.
