i was out at Gilboa Quarry in NW Ohio yesterday. I’m used to a quarry where 20ft viz is awesome. We had 50-60ft viz at Gilboa. Silt had been stirred up a bit by the tubes from an OW class earlier in our dive. Dove with a bunch of tech trained buddies from OH. Got a bunch of good feedback. Fun time. Well worth the 10 hour round trip drive and the 1 night hotel stay. Actually ran into @Bierstadt! . He was diving with the photographer. They came from NW PA. We were all in one big bunch on the first dive. They had to leave so my group of 4 did second dives ourself. Had a 5 hour drive home afterwards to beat the snow. Got home 10 minutes after the snow started. Had 2 fab 1 hour dives. Coldest water temp was 51F at 60ft. We didn’t go deeper. Air temp was about 45F, but we had a shelter and a propane heater. Will be out there other times over the winter as long as the roads are clear and there’s no ice on the surface.
I’m the diver with white fins.
