Thanksgiving Weekend Diving

With the long weekend on us and the temperature 10c above normal it was the perfect time for some diving. As family members were down for turkey and diving we set out to do some Kingston favorites. We made three dives on Saturday which included a morning dive at the quarry then getting out to the Munson for a great afternoon dive and finished the day with a dive at the quarry. The water temperature at the quarry was a nice 19C (66F) and on the Munson it was 11C (52F) at 110 feet. The next day an attempt to find the stacked hulls was in order, but this was fruitless as the line still does not take divers to it but a chance to be in the water is never a bad thing. We then had the hard choice of deciding if we should go to a dive shop or dive. We spent the afternoon at Divetech and then decided the rest of the weekend would be time to relax. We did check Lower Brewers Mills, on the Monday and found out that the locks are closing on Wednesday so it will mean less boat traffic on the lock system. Thinking back on the weekend I think this has to be the warmest Thanksgiving weekend that I remember diving. So I hope everyone is still thinking about getting out and getting in a few more dives.
