There are probably times when a dive just isn't meant to be. Today may have been one of them. After a bit of a hiccough over the catering arrangements, all seemed well, at 7 am, as divers assembled at Portsmouth for a day out on the Lake, with three deep dives ahead of them. However, a call from the Captain of our vessel, at just after 7 am, dashed hopes of that. A broken transmission wasn't going to be repaired quickly, and that left a decision about another dive option to be made. The upshot for most (someone had a better offer..) was a trip along the waterfront to burn some air on a visit to the KGH Wreck. Fifteen of us finally entered the water, in a staggered fashion, and enjoyed a dive in calm, but overcast conditions. The picture shows Sylvain, on one of his first dives this year, clearly enjoying the experience. There will likely be other blog submissions and pictures telling more of the story. Highlights - Bass spawning on the top of the shallow shelf, and a Lake surface that allowed those ashore to follow the progress of divers by their surface bubbles - all the way to the wreck and back. Ashley is once again to be congratulated and thanked for contributing a delicious selection of cookies. The divers should be thanked for their patience with the mechanical problem and with the resultant change of plans. Che Sera...!
For the record - visibility - poor at about 15-20 feet and water temperature just 52℉ (11℃).
