I would like to thank our friends at Cross Current Divers for inviting the members of the Dolphin Scuba Club to dive with them this weekend. Several Dolphin members took them up on their offer.
A total of 12 divers boarded the Proteus out of Treasure Island Marina in Kingston. Even though the winds were high the Proteus got us out to the Glendora and the Wolfe Islander for a great day on the water. If you ever get a chance to dive with the Proteus you should take it. While not the fastest boat on the lake, it is very comfortable and has lots of room for divers and gear. And for the Ladies a comfortable bathroom (head for you nautical types).
Our first wreck of the day was the Glendora. 10 of the 12 divers were adventurous enough to take on the high winds while 2 of us decided to stay on the boat. I can't say much about this wreck as I was one of the ones to stay on the boat but from listening to the other divers as they surfaced they had a great time on this wreck.
Our second dive of the day was to the Wolfe Islander II. This is a very popular site when the winds are high as it is protected by Wolfe Island. When we arrived at the site there were 3 other boats tied to the mooring. As the winds were not as strong here I decided to don my drysuit and go. The visibility was very low, I would guess at about 10 feet. You had to keep close to your buddy or a good fin kick would put him/her out of visible range. With the low visibility I found it hard to find the up line on the stern as it has changed from last year.
It was nice to meet everyone and I hope we get the chance to dive with you again sometime.

It's wonderful to see relationships with other Clubs growing. We all benefit. Great job setting this dive up Kim. Always good to see divers having fun - and your pictures are invariably evidence of that...
