Full moon at Clear lake

[orfreediver]

For those who are interested I am thinking of heading up to Clear lake on the 19th or 20th of August for a full moon dive. If you are interested let me know.

I just wanted to let everyone know that you missed an incredible experience. I think that every time I dive at Clear Lake I see something amazing and this was by far no exception. I really wished that I had a video setup for this dive but that will come latter.
Two people ended up showing up for the dive, one from Eugene and another form Portland. I drove up with the gentleman from Eugene and we met the other person at the lake. We did one early dive so we could check out some gear that had been purchased and then waited for darkness. When we started our second dive the moon hadn’t quite made it out but the visibility is so awesome there that it didn’t matter. We headed for the cold side of the lake (better vis.) and dove the rowboat then the lava “wall”, where I hit my best 49’. We got kind of cold (around 38 degrees) so we headed back for the warmer side of the lake and by that time the moon was hitting the water, this was pretty amazing. We did not need lights at all by this time but I would recommend using chem. lights just in case (thanks Rick).

I would love to do this dive again so if anyone is going out to do it, let me know we would love to tag along. I will also add that doing this dive anytime would be just as much fun, ALMOST no need for lights.

Next time lets have more people, what do you think?
