Amphibians and other underwater creatures...




It's a Club tradition to make a dive on New Year's Day - and today was no exception. Numbers were down on recent years, but illness, injury and an outrageous self indulgence (travelling away to exotic, warm locations) have taken their toll. Chris, Jim and I were the only divers to enter the water, although we were observed by a number of other Club members. Our reward for making the dive was to enjoy great visibility and an unusual sighting of a frog casually enjoying the underwater environment. Shouldn't all these amphibians be hibernating by now ? There was little other aquatic life to be seen. A few gobies were scurrying around - and a single large Bass was swimming around the logs, but otherwise it's pretty quiet just now. Many thanks to GaƩtan and Julie for a welcome hot coffee on exit...

Happy New Year to one and all !
