Re: Nice After work dive

Quote:
On a whim we managed a dive a couple days ago (ahead of the latest snowstorm) after work. It was quite nice, with very clear water and spectacular late-day lighting. I took my monofin since this spot drops off quickly and I was thinking deeper dives. But I also wanted to get some pictures in the awesome lighting.

Water Temp was 36f and the air was probably low 40sF.
I don't know what those temperatures mean in the rest of the worlds measurements but if there was a snowstorm on the way I'm guessing it was pretty cold.
Love the photos man. I guess you don't have too much worries with sharks eh?
You really inspire me to keep diving through the winter here. We get snow a couple of times a year on the hills above town - a couple hundred meters high - so not as cold as where you are but cold enough to stop most people diving but if you can go for a dive when there is big chunks of ice floating around you then I can swim here. At least I will when I get my 5mm Elios in about a month. Then it will be just reaching the start of the winter proper and the puddles may freeze the odd morning. Can't wait to see the looks on peoples faces!
(btw just kidding about the 'real temp' thing. That's about 4 degrees Celsius, Just above friggin cold!)
