Lake Lanier Dive Report

[ShallowDiverDave]

I dived west bank park on Saturday. It turned out to be an absolutely gorgeous day that felt in no way like winter. The air temp was at least 71 F and I could hardly find a cloud in the sky. Since I was diving solo (with redundancy and the option of ascending), I set my limit to 30 feet prior to making the dive. Max depth was 27 feet and temp at depth was 51 F. I was using a 7mm (pinnacle) and it kept me very warm for the whole dive. My last dive before this one was in 58 F water, but I only had a 3 mm, very cold I was. Visibility was I'm guessing high for lanier around 10-12 feet. Total bottom time was about 32 mins, but I was just happy to get wet. Here is where I dived:

"Mask Cove" (thanks Kraken)

Alright, good to know the nomenclature. I saw a number of logs, fresh water clams, and a whopping one fish (I believe it was a bass).
