[PSUBS-MAILIST] dive day

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

 Ian,I dive completely alone.  I now tow a inflatable tender with a dive flag, so it is ver visible.  The boaters stayed very clear today.  Before I dive, I call my wife with a preset time to call when I return to the surface.  If I am late she initiates an emergency plan.  I would prefer to dive with a support crew, but  there are no interested people.  Hank

Hi Hank,
thanks for the trip report. As the owner of a non-op sub I appreciate folks sharing their trip reports regardless of length. :)
Are you diving with a support crew  (surface or land) at all?
If you are diving solo, are you taking any extra precautions?
Thanks!  Ian.

 Alan,The thermal cline is at about 40 feet and I was on the bottom at 100 feet.  It is expected  this time of year.  I just figured with no rain for two months it would be better.  At least it only costs 50 dollars for a trip with a dive, sorry Hugh ;-)Hank

 Hank,I haven't dived much in lakes; but a couple of years ago I was scuba diving in a 90 ft deep quarry, & hit a thermocline at about 30ft. I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. I saw a dark line rise up my mask as I descended into it. Some sort of algal bloom!Can it clear up deeper down if you persevere through it?Alan

Today I went to my favourite lake for a dive, I motored out to 100 feet depth and sank.  The visibility was so bad, I could not see 2 feet.  I couldn't even see my compass in front of the dome.   I just surfaced and went home ;-(  Hank
