Started my dive season here. Dove Lake Quassapaug last weekend but do not really count that. I was called up last minute to find missing dock anchors for a group installing their docks. 49 degrees air, pouring rain and 52 degree water temp. I dive wet with a 5 mil so I was in an out as soon as I located the chains which fortunately was within minutes. Took a nicer dive yesterday with sunshine air temps in the 60s and water temp 54-55. Vis normally excellent for a lake was down considerably, likely because of all the rain we have had this past week. Found a nice new river anchor that must have been lost recently and retrieved it.
I tried out my new Henderson Thermaxx 5 mi with new Bare 5 mil sealtec hood. I had been diving with an old neosport 5 mil with neoport 3 mil hood. The neosport is about 5 years old and had hundreds of dives and was past its prime. A great value though for the money. The Thermaxx and Bare hood were noticeably warmer with much less water movement and intrusion inside.
Hope to head out to RI and Ft W before the end of the month. Happy diving!
