Lake Jocassee update

You forgot to put that someone set his new coat on fire! So it was pretty warm on the boat!


I had to put that out there!:fire:

:worthless:

We need more details and pictures if possible

no pics. sorry.
They have the burner strapped to the center console of the pontoon boat. The driver tossed his coat on the console on the ride back. It flopped over the the console and part of it was on the burner. It promptly caught fire. It was out is seconds. Some laughed. Some cried.

When stuff happens, you might as well laugh. Crying dehydrates you and in addition to a burned coat, the crying could put you at a greater risk for DCS Dare I ask to whom the coat belonged?

 

[jimmy71]

Trip. He was the one who cried. We all laughed..............

There were many picture worthy moments on this trip but unfortunately my camera was on dry land!

It was some good diving in some cold :mooner:water.

'Fella's ... Just dove Dive Haven yesterday (Saturday 11th Dec.) Vis was 2ft, and temp @ 100ft was 45F, surface was 52F

Whats is temp and visibility like at L. Jocassee at the moment ???

Plans are a foot to dive L. Jocassee on the 20th/21st, to do dive 3 and 4 of my SSI Tech XR course. Can't wait.

Out of interest .... is there any facilities to fill EAN 30 and 80 there ???

Many thanks ..Dave Gower.

EAN 30 and 80? Yes: Lake Jocassee Dive Shop. They have EAN32 on tap and 0₂. Never used EAN80 for a tech dive.

Using aluminum tanks you won't get a full fill without a booster and this is likely the situation I'm assuming.

Cheers Tony .. WOW !!! Decidedly warm and great vis then.

FYI ::: The SSI TXR (Technical course) has gone away from using the EAN 50 as a deco and moved towards EAN 30 and EAN 80.
