I'm going diving in Lake Rawlings on Oct. 17 for some specialty certifications and was wondering what type of water temps to expect. Their website lists 65 - 75 for the fall averages, but I was hoping for some recent personal experience.

Thanks
 
Was there this past wed 10/14. Very marked thermocline at about 40 feet this time of year. Low 70's above, low 60's and colder below. The temp at the bottom of the deep part was 58 degrees at 59 feet.

Good vis though. I was hanging motionless at about 40 feet right in front of the sheer rock wall at the far end of the lake, about as far from the entrance as you can get, and could see all the way from the bottom to the top. Not another soul around...just a sheer rock wall in front of me...very zen.
