Despite a pretty heavy snowfall overnight, which persisted right up to the time divers gathered at the Club, we put 6 divers in the water today for the New Year's Day dive. It's probably no coincidence that all of them were in drysuits. Navy Bay was chosen as a nearby, easily-accessible venue. The dive proved to be a gentle tour of the area beyond the ramp and pier, with ample time to look for little 'treasures'. Find of the day was a little stoneware bottle that had contained blacking. It was found by Chris Haslip and it's in beautiful condition. Adam, whose presence was a rare delight these days (his business makes heavy demands on his time), could only compete in the finds department by returning a dinghy rudder to dry land. Time in the water was just about 34 minutes. The water temperature was 34F (2C) and the air temperature - on a relatively calm day (NE wind) - was -2C (28F).
Adam found a rudder and tiller from a dinghy of some kind.
ReplyDeleteI dove today also: Guy Harvey wreck out of Hillsboro inlet in Boca Raton FL. Great dive 140Ft to the sand, slight current, chilly 79 degree F...good viz at about 40 to 50 Ft.
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank all of the 5 other divers for an enjoyable dive today.
ReplyDeleteLooks like great fun.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have joined you.
Nice to see Adam out as well.
