Got in six dives and still managed to see the city and some of the sights! For whoever pointed me to the Kingston Brewing Company, MANY THANKS! Their Dragons Breath Real Ale is to die for, especially smooth because of the use of a beer engine to dispense. Can't wait to visit that place again.
Made two dives Friday afternoon, The George T. Davie (93 ffw, 21 minutes, about 51 F. at the bottom) and the George Marsh, (84 ffw, 21 minutes
about 45 F. at the bottom)
Saturday morning, out on the boat at 8:30, first dive was the Comet, (81 ffw for 25 minutes, about 57 degrees at the wreck) and The Cornwall, (72 ffw, 35 minutes and about 55 degrees at the wreck). Were back to the marina by around noon and met at Kingston Brewing at 2:00 for ale and food.
Sunday morning, was again on the boat at 8:30 and off to a ddep dive. The Munson! (112 ffw for 28 minutes total dive time, and about 50 and kind of dark at the bottom.) Group of divers were there when we arrived and had it a little silted up but not too bad. Finally, the Wolf Islander, again a large group of divers were already on the boat, bubbles were streaming up from the wreck as we headed down. (78 ffw, for 36 minutes with a bottom time that seemed to be around 60 degrees). A most wonderful dive, with lots chance for penetration and a large population of fish to watch. WE HAD A BALL!
Limestone divers were great. Tanks were always ready, prices were reasonable and they responded in a postive manner to every request. Would be happy to dive with them again. A fairly fast boat, well set up for divers (if a bit on the noisy side when underway) and a very laid back crew that were knowledgeable of the wrecks and history of the area.
I had a little problem on the very first dive, had an issue with one of my ears, and came up with it bleeding inside my hood. Didn't notice until one of the other divers pointed it out. Didn't stop me from diving, just wanted to be messy at times.
Weather cooperated most of the time, with some pretty heavy rain on Sunday at noon as we came off the boat. Other than that, it was warm, muggy and grey, with a quiet lake and good diving.
Can't wait to go back to Kingston!
