A night at the theatre...


With longer days and warmer water, the temptation to dive in the evenings is irresistible, especially for our members who work for a living. Tonight, four of us went exploring around the old wharf that lies off the area of the Domino Theatre. The trip was worthwhile, with several large Bass swimming around the logs and the first sighting this year of a long string of (frog) spawn at one point. For Kevin, whose first dive it was on this site, it was interesting to turn over the old tin plates and mugs that are strewn about the area close to shore. It's heartening to see that the water is creeping up in temperature almost daily. Tonight, the lowest temperature registered was 42F (6C) - a degree or so warmer than just a couple of days ago.

It was an enjoyable dive and I was happy to see a temperature change to the positive over a week. With the warmer temperatures though I would remind divers that we are not the only ones in the water and boats will be out more and more, so a float may be desirable.
