Are there any dive sites that are open to divers during the week this time of year?

I think Lake Rawlings is open on Weds. You might want to give them a call. I was just out there yesterday and I thought I heard her say that. Water was 64 degrees. Thermocline was down to the plane windows this time around. Viz was not wonderful 15ft maybe.

We volunteer at the Virginia Aquarium and get our 02 fix every other wenesday, regardless of temps or seasons.

That is a good idea ; I will look into that here in Maryland & DC.

National Aquarium in Baltimore has a volunteer Program, but the application process is pretty long. QA contact point is:

Yes, it involves a written test given a couple times per year, a medical sign off requirement, a swim test, etc, then a 1 year once per week committment with an expectation you'll make it for all but a couple of those weeks to your assigned day/time. It was a bit much given my work related travel schedule.

Rawlings is a lot easier and I have found they are willing to open pretty much anytime over the winter if you call in advance. But we always brought multiple divers for the day or came as a pair and also rented a cabin for a night.

When I just spoke to Rawlings, they said they would open other times with 4 paid people.
