Devils Lake Report

[mrclean]

Another dive today at Devils Lake with Dive buddy Ed and Dave.  The wind was blowing enough to make whitecaps on the water.  We dove I believe its called the south shore, over by the railroad tracks, etc.  Maybe we dove over the wrong area because we didn't see anything, except one bass and plenty of sandy, silty muck.  Visibility was all of 8 feet at best, but the bonus was water temp was a balmy 48 degrees at depth of 40 feet and in the low 50's near the surface.  We pretty much had the lake to ourselves.  30 minutes into the dive, I took my attention from the other divers and in just a few seconds we got separated due to the poor vis so I ended up surfacing a short time later as did the others.  In those few minutes we ended up being separated by a couple hundred feet.  So we surface swam back to shore and called it a day.

All in all a good dive, because it was better than working.
