The plan started small - get Dan Haslip back in the water during his mid-tour leave and find somewhere warmer for Rick to enjoy a wetsuited dive. But we ended up with nine Club members in the lake at Brule Road today. Conditions were excellent, with bright sunshine and not too much wind. Everyone was staggered at the visibility apparent on arrival. Both the Hyundai and the Cabin Cruiser's outlines could be seen underwater from shore.
All praise to the two young men, Andrew and Al, who braved the waters in their wetsuits. In fact, the majority of divers were in wetsuits. I spent the dive circumnavigating the quarry's margins, looking for undiscovered artifacts. Only one new one came to light. This is the bucket of an earthloader or excavator, probably left behind when the quarry was abandoned. It lies directly South of the Western ledge - in just 12 feet of water.
For the record - and to encourage other divers to give it a try - the water temperature was 56F (13C) at depth and 60F (16C) at the surface.
