Chilly.... but worthwhile...

This afternoon's dive was out to the Marine Museum Barge - using the line laid earlier this year by other divers. Air temperatures around -9℃ (15℉) and gear still half wet from yesterday made suiting up a challenge, but eventually we hit the water. The viz isn't great just now, unclear why that is, but several large Bass were around in the shallows close to the start of the line. The barge itself was pretty deserted. Of course, with these air temperatures, getting undressed is a race to beat the freezing of the zipper - and temporary confinement. Ah - the fun of Winter diving...
