Mammoth Lake

[Cyprian]

I'm just dropping in to say that Mammoth Lake is a good place to dive and worth the drive for most in Texas. I dove(dived) it Memorial Day with Tripntx leading and we had a great time and only managed to cover about 10% of the place. I'll watch the vis reports and certainly be back at some point.

I met the owner of Maximum Scuba - great guy. The ladies up front were very friendly and helpful. I got a great fill in my AL63 that my son used. I got some good natured GUE ribbing by the owner of one of the local dive shops...lol. It was Memorial Day so they had free hotdogs on the deck (I say that because I don't know if that is something they do every weekend on only on special days). And the list goes on.....

Thanks Tripntx for allowing me to bum your double 80s so I did not have to drag mine down and for the dive guiding.

So....go to Mammoth folks, you will enjoy it.

It's a fun place. Average vis is about 5-10ft normally. Think it's the first Saturday of the month they do bbq and night dives as well. There's a big vertical tube in the middle just off to the right that dips down to 60ft. Only enough room for 2-3 people standing rather than horizontal and gets dark and cold. But yeah, fun place and lots of stuff to see. The Maximum guys are fun people. Never a dull moment....

I enjoyed diving with you and Nick, and look forward to diving with y'all again.

Mammoth Lake is definitely fun when the viz is good. There are lots of "toys" to explore. My fave is the C-130, due to all the cool pictures you can take.

I remember you.

Anyone know how the viz there is after all the rain this week?

 

[Lefty Writer]

Some of our dive club members are out there today, and my wife and I will be out there tomorrow with KWS. He's always a hoot to be around.

If no one has reported current viz/temp, I'll be happy to do so.

 

[Lefty Writer]

Wellllll.........

The viz was about 5 - 6 feet or so, with the temp at 76 degrees on the bottom. Closer to the surface, the temp was around 80.

Even with the poor viz, the wife, KWS and I had fun.

Get hanks for the update. I'll have to try and make it out there soon.
