Sidemount Try-Out...



Today was a great day to dive. The Sun was glistening on the Lake, but a brisk breeze kept things moderately cool while gearing up. Adam had given me the chance to try out a side-mount rig and we chose Morton's Wharf to do so. The rig was perfect. Nothing needed to be done to the fit or weight - and it was really comfortable. I could get used to this.

The dive lasted just on 70 minutes in water that, at its low point, was just 46℉ (8℃). Visibility, although there was a murky layer in the upper sections, was great, probably as much as 60 feet in the deeper water. There were many Bass lurking on the Wharf and, in the area just to the West of it, a large school of Carp - perhaps as many as 8 or 10.
