Rawlings 8/11-8/12

[BobbyT22]

Hey Folks,
I'm going to be at Rawlings this weekend to finally get my AOW and NITROX certs. I should arrive Sat morning around 10 and am spending the night. If you are going to be there, say hello. I'll be driving a green Honda CRV.

RAD - My hellacious travel schedule should be easing a bit. Would love to dive with you again this fall. I did the tower/tug here in July, good dive, about 40 foot vis with huge schools of Spadefish and some HUGE tog under the stern.

Rob,

I'm sorry I'm going to miss you. We'll be there with a 15 person AOW class next weekend.

Have fun and be safe.

Sounds good Rob, the Tug is 1 of my favorite in-shore dives, along with the Santore which I got to dive by accident recently, we also had 40+ ft of vis. Seems like a good year for vis in Va. Beach.
We were just at Rawlings last Saturday & 2 weeks before on a Saturday giving my wife more practice in her drysuit before we hit Lake Erie next weekend.
Good luck with your classes, & look forward to diving in the near future with you. That Nitrox cert. will help tremendously with BT.
1 more thing Andy (Drewski) & I have been going to Nags Head & diving recently with http://www.obxdive.com/ with good results. Maybe you could join us on a trip. We go early in the morning & are home by 5pm the same day.

Does anybody have a Map of the underwater attractions at Lake Rawlings? Would you be willing to share it?

I've heard of one, but I haven't seen it. I would certainly like to see it also.

I just did 6 dives there this past weekend (it was PACKED), and have 11 dives there total, and I am still seeing new stuff. Although I couldn't see much there this weekend with all the silt floating EVERYWHERE.

FWIW, water temp was a balmy 82 deg at the surface, on average the thermocline level was around 29 feet, and at the rock bottom of the quarry my computer said it was 62 degrees.

I posted a couple of 'old' maps in my gallery.
