2009 Charter Dive Season Begins...


With less than ideal atmospheric conditions, 5 divers braved the foggy conditions to attend the first dive charter of the year out of Northern Tech Divers yesterday. As the picture shows, visibility on the lake was less than a kilometer... Thank God for GPS and all of those technological marvels to aid in maritime navigation. The wreck : Aloha and Effie Mae. Once in the water, we noticed a slight Easterly surface current. Dropping down on the wreck at 55 ft, we saw that most of the wrecks were covered in moss and weeds. The visibility was nothing to write home about, but was better than shore dives have turned up lately. Most of the pictures did not turn out very well simply because of the particulate in the water. The water temperature, although warming up slowly, remains on the chilly side at 47 deg F. All in all, everyone had a great time, especially Jesse who was on his first boat charter.. I hope everyone has a great 2009 dive season...
