Well, I made my first trip to Loch Low-Minn. Drove up from Birmingham early Saturday morning. Arrived at the quarry at 9:10 am. The day was already hot and the quarry was crowded. Cameron and Luster were already onsite and gearing up. Set-up was interesting with the unloading on the hill and parking on top of the hill rules.
First dive was at 9:27am. Max depth of 77ft and temp at depth was 75f. Cruised the trench which we were told was the deepest part of the quarry. Saw the usual in a quarry, Catfish,Bass and very small minnow type fish. Did not see any bream. Which I thought was strange for a quarry in the southeast. dive time was 64 minutes.
Took 1:35 minutes surface interval while we waited for what seemed like an eternity for air fills. Not the fastest I have ever seen. Which limited our ability to do 4 or 5 dives like usual at ABWA.
Second dive began at 12:07 to a max depth of 40 for a dive time of 55 minutes when I ended the dive with a continously leaking mask and a stopped up nose so I could not clear the mask effectively. No biggie just a pain. Mask goes to the LDS tomorrow.
I ended my diving for the day and took my wife to dinner at an italian restaurant called Gondaliers recommended by a diver from Ky. Good stuff. Great service.
That would be the end of my diving so some others will have to fill in the information about the night dive and Sunday diving.
