Anyone have any recent, local dives to report?

Re:Anyone have any recent, local dives to report?
Did two dives in Red Granite on Saturday.

Our first dive was okay. My friend George had a huge hole in his glove, so his hand got a little numb during the dive. Viz was "okay" down to about 20 feet. From 20+ feet to about 70 the viz was crap. I kept running into George because I couldn't see him that well. The 70-90 foot range was decent viz - nothing great, but okay. You could see the whole boat at 80', but not much farther than that. We made it down into the deep pit, and it was utter blackness. Maybe 6 inches of viz, tops. I did make it a little deeper than I ever have before in Redgranite - 117'. But I never really saw anything there Smile

Our second dive was short and shallow. George didn't want to go deep again because of the cold. We still had 1000psi in our tanks after the first dive, so we just goofed off in the shallows for a half hour, playing on the shallow boats and with some other junk we found.

Not a bad day of diving, but the rain really trashed the visibility I think. Hopefully it gets a little better soon.

Surface temps were around 48, past the thermocline (which is noticeable now...) was 40. The thermocline was right around 25 feet.
