So, what's better after a long day at work (or not, in my case) than a good dive in the Lake? That's clearly what Kevin, Gaetan, Philippe, Matt and I thought this evening. We made our way down to the Psychiatric Hospital (more correctly known nowadays as Providence Care Mental Health Services Facility, but it's still KPH to us). The Lake was relatively calm, the Sun was shining and the water looked inviting. Gaetan was even prepared to brave the chill in a wetsuit.
The dive was enjoyable. As we've noticed over the last week, the Lake is beginning to suffer from the effects of algae bloom. Visibility was down to a disappointing 20 feet or so. The water temperature though, even at 50 feet, where we turned around, was still 50℉ (10℃). Sightings were limited to the Gobies and a few large Bass circulating near to the wharf. One very interesting feature of the dive was encountering a good half Knot current flowing West to East. I guess that they are sending some water down to Montreal. That's not too surprising, the Lake is pretty high at the moment.
