Today I had the pleasure of diving with four members of the CFB Borden dive club. We started first thing this morning at the Cora Post. This was interesting as with the high winds churned up the water. I took the group to the brick barge at which point two divers made for the 30-meter (100 ft) mark, to do a deep dive for an advance course. I stayed behind with the two basic divers and enjoyed looking over the barge. The visibility was great once we got below 10 ft. The depth for our first dive was 41 feet the dive lasted about 31 minutes and the water temperature was 66f. We jumped in our cars and drove to upper brewers mill where we spent roughly one hour in the water, which was slightly warmer at 68F. The visibility was only at around 5 feet in the murky water. On a positive we saw lots of fish and one diver found the bowl of a clay pipe. Our next stop was Portsmouth. With the wind making the waves roll in, we got to practice entering choppy water. We went around the remains of the hulls then out to the anchors and the stop sign. Until we hit about 10 feet, we felt the surge of the waves. We swam around for 35 minutes hitting 35 feet. The water was little cooler at 66 F but it still allowed me to dive all three dives in a 3mm suit without a hood. The highlight of the third dive was seeing the anchor with swastika on it.
