On Saturday May 24, 2008; Upstate Scuba's instructor Robert Porter (Scuba Board Member: Upstate Scuba OWI) will be leading an all day dive boat trip on Lake Jocassee.

You must be at least open water certified. The cost of the trip is $25.00 per diver. Please sign-up and pay by calling the store prior to the trip. If you are unable to pre-pay for the dive trip only cash or checks will be accepted but call ahead to reserve your space. Space is limited 10 divers max per trip session that day (due to boat size). Snacks and water will be provided on the boat if you would like to bring things to eat there will be a cooler available.

Morning Group Please meet at the store at 9:00 AM or at Devils Fork State Park main landing at 10:30 AM. Afternoon Group meets at the landing at 2 pm.

More info on the store's website Upstate Scuba, LLC upstatescuba.com

Directions are at the store or use this link: Devils Fork State Park
 
if its an all day dive trip why is there a morning group and afternoon group? :confused:

I love Jocassee, what sites do you plan on diving?
 
The boat will be available all day so meaning for those that want to go morning and those that like to sleep in can catch the afternoon trip. Depending on who comes along will determine the locations of the dives, but for the advance divers that want to dive the graveyard or off the wall is possible, and for the open water divers we will tie off to the junk for them to dive the quarry area.
 
If you're going to the graveyard, I would be happy to go. I'm sure I can talk two of my buddies into it. Would it be a problem to bring a set of doubles, instead of two singles, on your boat?

NCMtnDiver, last Sat the water was in the low 70's on the surface and 51 below 100'. I would estimate the vis at about 15-20 feet. I'll post an update tomorrow. The water gets a little warmer every weekend.
 
I'd be really temped to do the wall and graveyard! I'd be diving in double 119s with stages. would there be room?
 
It's still low 70's on the surface. It was 50* at 120' today. Vis maybee 25 feet. I would guess it will still be in the low 50s at the graveyard in two weeks. The graveyard is probably around 115-120' at the current lake level.
 
What is the max vis in the lake?
