Five Dive...

Five of us seized the opportunity presented by the repair of the compressor to fill our tanks and go jump in the Lake tonight. And by tonight, I really mean tonight. We entered the waters around the PUC dock after 9 pm and enjoyed a very leisurely night dive on and around the little wreck that lies just off its South-East corner. This wreck, probably the remains of one or more old schooner barges, doesn't get a lot of traffic, but it's worth a look. One vessel's bow section stands up about 8-10 feet and the keel and ribs run southward from that point for more than a hundred feet. Several large Bass are now making the remnants, and nearby rocks, their home and a couple of large Mudpuppies were also out and about. Water temperature was 46°F (8°C). Visibility, bearing in mind the limitations of determining it by flashlight, was excellent at about 50 feet or more.
