The Sunday Dive Club met again today to dive from the 'beach' of the Kingston Yacht Club. Dianne, Steve, Jim and I found the air temperature of -12C (10F) quite bracing. Although it is inconvenient when your mask de-fog freezes before you can cover the whole lens and when your suit is freezing fast as you disrobe. The conditions below the surface were excellent. Visibility of about 50 feet afforded good views of several large fish around the breakwater rocks and the car by the exit from the Club marina. The water temperature was about 35F (2C). The saving grace today was the almost complete absence of wind and the bright, warm sunshine bathing the area. That and the hot chocolate Dianne graciously obtained for us from the Club bar after the dive.

In these temperatures do not put wet gear on car carpet unless you want to leave it there until it thaws.
