Every dive should have a clear purpose. Today's very definitely did. Dianne and Dominique were exercised in recreational Search and Recovery procedures. They did a great job on two search patterns - one using line and one without. They also practiced rigging and controlling a lift bag recovery of a larger object. This iteration included deployment of a (Pelikan) surface marker. The early work was observed by an uncritical audience of volunteers from the gunwale of the Alexander Henry.
Conditions were reasonable - the basin and surroundings being well sheltered from a brisk (and cold) Nor' easter. Visibility was in the order of 25 feet - slightly less beyond the protection of the Basin - and the water temperature shows no rise from the 34F (1C) it has been stubbornly presenting recently. Absolutely no marine life was spotted...
Roll on Summer - even I am getting mildly frustrated with a persistently cold Lake...
