Rock Lake diving

I'll post a link as soon as I figure one out! We want to get the best visibility but not have to chop ice...

Yeah, we have 7mm jumpsuits and 7mm hooded shorties to put over those, but I think ice is definately out for us. lol

Well, I have a drysuit and can get underthings to make it toasty...I just don't like ovehead environments...

Sorry I've not been on. I have a new job and it has been a little hectic. Ok, how is the ice up there, I assum it has started. When will be the first clear weekend in spring do you think? I will make the time to make this happen.

I sent some possible coordinates to some folks, does anyone know if they found anything? I haven't heard back.

I have a proper camera (the Canon 20D with the Ikelite housing and strobe setup) as well as a video housing (not as nice but should do the job) so I am basically set for the dive. I just need a clear date to plan around and a boat to use as a dive platform.

Who's game?

So, when does it look like the ice might clear this year? I want to start doing some planning. I need to get the time blocked off on my calendar and set up for a boat charter.

Also I'll be looking for some dive buddies. I'll be diving AL80 doubles using a BP/W and a drysuit.

ANyone up for a brisk spring dive in Rocklake?

The ice has yet to form on Lake Wazee.  If you want to get out, there is a group of us going this weekend.  Will keep you posted here on what th plan is.  Could be a regular open water jamboree, but a little cold.

I am based in Atlanta, Ga, so I need a bit more planning... ;D How is the visibility?

Mike

Visibility in Lake Wazee is around 20 feet.
