Frozen Frolics...



I guess it's the temporary thaw that inspired 6 of us to venture into the still freezing waters again this weekend. We essentially repeated the dive enjoyed on New Year's Day, meeting and dressing at the Club and then getting into Navy Bay at RMC's St Lawrence Pier. There was one significant difference; today we all spent at least 48 minutes in the water. leaving some divers really cold...! However, the opportunity presented itself to capture some video of our chief instructor demonstrating Backward Finning. This is the subject of the accompanying video clip. For record keepers, the water temperature (on the lowest reading shown) was 33F (1C) and the air temperature 4C (39F). A light Southerly wind generated small waves and reduced visibility to about 25'.
