I must say a good time was had. The weather down right sucked, but the dives were great. Vlane is a great buddy I might add.

The water was great too. 62-63f down to 120(+). I would also guess in some areas the vis was 25' Even though there were a few classes today, even the shallows were pretty clear. Except for that near-collision with a scooter diver. :smiley36:

While there is a line to it now, We were able to get to the dog house today - even the vis to it was far better than the usual 5'.

To say the least, even though the weather sucked and cut short a dive, it was still a great day diving. Thanks for diving with me Vlane! :smiley20: ]]> Midwest navyhmc http://forum.scubatoys.com/midwest/28023-vlane-oronogo.html http://forum.scubatoys.com/midwest/27755-table-rock-lake-dock-repair.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:56:18 GMT Got a call from one of my dive buddies on Friday evening.
He has a lakehouse on Table rock & one of the cables holding the boat dock in place had snapped & needed replaced.
We got up Saturday & headed to the lake to fix it.
This was my first ever dive that had a purpose other than just for fun.
We hit the water around 12:30pm & got very lucky we dropped right onto broke half of the old cable leading down to the piece of concrete we needed to reattach the new cable too. It was fun to take some tools down & do some underwater repairs.
Vis was crap about 3 ft & if you touched the bottom it silted up bad and became a total blackout. First dive was to 34 ft water temps 56 degrees.
2nd dive just for fun went to 42 ft & water temps were still 56 degrees & you could not see a ft in front of you even with a light.
Air temps were about 60 degrees.
All in all a good time was had even with no vis.
we are hoping the other 3 cables hold up til spring so we can change them in warmer conditions & maybe better vis, can't wait to do it again. ]]> Midwest bottomdweller http://forum.scubatoys.com/midwest/27755-table-rock-lake-dock-repair.html
