Wonderful dive today on the Rothesay near Prescott. Dianne and I ventured forth on one of the coldest days this year so far (-5C / 23F). The good news was that the Sun was shining brightly and there wasn’t much of a wind. The site provided calm water and visibility - on the wreck - of about 35-40 feet. Slightly less good news was the temperature of the water - 38F (3C).

It wouldn’t be a dive at this time of the year if we didn’t see a Pike. Today’s was a beauty, drifting casually about the stern of the wreck with no concern for our presence. There were also several large Bass around and a Freshwater Drum (Sheepshead).

All in all though, a great dive in pleasant conditions. I guess we’ll just have to get used to the ice that forms instantly on your suit and scuba gear on exit - it may be that way for a while...
