Unfortunately, that's a work weekend for me. Hang tight, someone should be able to dive with you.

Sorry for the delayed update, but I've been diving. Anyway, did a couple of dives in Lake Pleasant last Saturday, 12/2, 62 degrees, visibility 15-20', air temp in the 70s.
After the dive we headed over to Scorpion Bay to check out the water level. Guess what?
The pool is now open!!!!
The lake level is back to where it was at the end of August. You can jump in and easily climb out. Hope to see you guys out there the weekend of the 16th!

Viz: 10'
Bottom Temp: 58F
Max Depth: 65'
My toes are still cold; guess it's about time to start thinking about investing in a dry suit
(Maybe by next winter!)

Site: Scorpion Bay
Viz: 5' and clearing
Bottom Temp: 57F
Max Depth: 40'
Used my 3mm shorty under my 7mm today and was warmer than yesterday but was still done (aka frozen) after 45 minutes & 1/2 tank just like yesterday. Didn't see much life at all this weekend, probably why I was so focused on the cold temps. Viz really sucked when we dropped today, I thought it was going to be a really crappy dive however it cleared as the dive progressed and eventually was close to 10' at our entry point when exiting; shallows were better as usual. I jumped in from a rock (I love that), there are 2 manageable exit points, Kaz is right though, I'd imagine doubles wouldn't be much fun while getting out. There's ALOT of fishing line down there too, so make sure to bring your cutting tools
I'll be back next weekend sometime, hopefully I'll warm up by then
