Well,

Mark and I had a great two dives. As before once you got below about 35 feet the viz opened up to about 20 feet. We enjoyed finding our way through the sunken forest and located someones navigation line although it wasn't clear where it was going and we were at the turnaround point for air.

The botom temp at 57 feet was 57 degrees so definately 5mm to drysuit diving. Mark was there in 3mm and insisted the cold didn't bother him..I was in my drysuit and as long as kept a nice puff of air in thesuit, was very comfortable (except for a minor "Oops...my zipper isn't closed" at the start of the second dive which was detected quickly (Why is there water in my right sleeve?) and after that no problems.

Had a great dive, sorry other folks missed it...I even tried out a prototype of the LLLB tee shirt soon to be all the rave...

Glad to hear you two had a great dive. After the great vis. below the thermocline and the fun of navigation thru the sunken forest, I can't justify drivnig and paying the $25.00 for the quarry every weekend.
