I was in a couple days ago on a search and recovery of an item and was just fine in a 5mm wetsuit and a 3mm hood. Not too deep about 25-35' for around 40 minutes. I love the river warming up!!!

Did the Islander yesterday, vis has dropped to about 25'. I couldn't believe the amount of floating particles drifting about. Gonna try an area towards Ogdensburg and see if it was a localized event. Water temp was close to 58*F according to the computers I was wearing. Ton's of smallmouths and perch about 60' and up.

Saturday on the Keystorm and Vickery the water was still at 14C / 57F. Last night on Lock 23 it was 15C / 59F.
Currents on the river are pretty normal right now, although the water level did seem a bit lower than usual last night.
Slowly getting there.

Pretty normal. 15' - 20'.
Boat and Shearwaters had 60F and 59F respectively today on Keystorm and America. Vis was 30+. I measured by the mast.

Viz was not great on Saturday at Lock 23. 5-10 feet, fast current and then lots of weird currents around the structures. A challenging dive for sure.
We lost a member of our group for a bit (gcarter, I'll fill you in on Wed) because of the current + viz situation. Fortunately we were all experienced L23 divers, but I'm glad we didn't have a newbie along.
