jnallen:i just moved to laramie, wyoming - from houston, texas.
i just wanna get my name out here so i can start networking with other regional divers... summer's coming soon and i'd like to get involved so i can start diving!
RonFrank:Hey, how do you like all that snow we have been getting (I assume they are getting it in your neck of the woods).
We have guys/gals here from Ft. Collins, Denver, CO Springs, and various parts of NM.
In winter there are basically two places to dive. The Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, NM, and the Crater in ParkCity, UT. Both are springs, the Crater is something like 200F! Actually more like a huge hot tub, maybe 100F. The Blue Hold is a volcanic formed hole, and part of a larger cave system. The water temp is around 64F.
In the summer the best diving within a four hour commute is.... IN COZUMEL!
Actually the diving here is somewhat miserable which is why I like going to the hole. Vis there can be 80feet vs. the if you are VERY lucky 10 feet you get in CO lakes.
I've heard that Flaming Gorge is worth diving, and maybe that will be our next destination come summer.
