Hudson Grotto Saturday the 20th.

[DiveBandit]

I was going to take the boat out Saturday but it looks like the weather will be just a tad more than I want to endure ( seas 3-5 feet) SO, anybody want to dive Hudson Grotto with me?

Me and a buddy are going to be there early that morning 8 or 9. You are more then welcome to dive with us. Have you ever dove there before? This is are first time and I've heard mixed opinions about the place.

 

[DiveBandit]

I dive the location frequently, My son and I are trying to map the bottom. Bottom depth varies between 103 and 135.

I thought you were going Sunday?

How is the vis at depth?

 

[DiveBandit]

Weeeelllllllll, depends? If no one was down before you it's great, except for the tannic color. If anybody has been down prior and wasn't careful with how close they got to the walls or bottom, vis could be 0".

and at 110' it's black..........

I can't wait it's always fun diving somewhere for the first time.

It's a great place to work on skills. I was there 3(?) weeks ago and the temp at 100' was 66. Surface was 72 or so. Should be a bit chilly Saturday.

How thick of a wetsuit would someone need to stay warm at 66? I've never been in water that cold.
