Milbrook Quarry in September

[wvjohn]

I did my first 2 OW checkout dives there 7/30/06 - temps were about the same as the others reported. Thermocline was at about 25 feet. I only went down to 36 feet so don't know about deeper. I was wearing a 5mil farmer john and took off the hood for the second dive ~35 mins~ and was fine. Viz was pretty bad about 5-10 feet - you could see across the platform but less in other places. Saw 2 bass and a bunch of fat bluegils

I was there 7/22. We went as deep as 36'. As I recall, from around 10'+ it was warm, 10-20 ft. it was a bit cool, and 20+ feet it got chilly. I actually got too cold once at 30' but when we ascended 10' I was fine. Overall, the dive wasn't too interesting but for some reason I still had a lot of fun.

I'm stringy and very susceptible to cold, but I was fine in a 7/5 farmer john that I rented at a nearby dive shop (www.the-diveshopva.com), along with 5mm gloves and a 5/3 hood.

Anyway, I should be around at that time. I'd be willing to log a few more dives, so PM me you're still interested in trying Millbrook.
