One aspect of being a safe diver is knowing when to call a dive.... Mike, Dianne and I had planned to dive the Murney Tower Wreck to 
check out the serviceability of the line out to the wreck yesterday. Unfortunately, strong southerly winds were churning up the lake quite ferociously. We regrettably took a raincheck, postponed our dive plans and went for a coffee instead. Today's excellent weather conditions provided us with an excellent opportunity to see if the winter weather had been kind to the line out to the wreck. Some misplaced gear added a chuckle to our expedition, and provided us additional time to enjoy the surface weather Mother Nature had bestowed upon us.... A gentle 12-minute swim out to the wreck allowed us to inspect the line from shore. We found the line to be intact, with only slight debris and silt covering it in a few spots. A swim around the wreck, and it was time to turn around. We cleaned up the line all the way to shore, and ensured that the shore line remains highly visible. Total dive time, 38 minutes with a maximum depth of 61 feet... Water temperature ?... A frigid 36 degrees F...
