Mt Storm Dive Reports

[WV Diver]

Only ones in the water yesterday, great vis and a great day. Temps are really going up. 91-92*F on the surface, 89-99*F at 25', about 88*F at 50' and 86*F at the 90' platform. Just wear your shorts and a tee shirt, it's warm. Vis 10'-12', no current. Life is good.

The East platform at Mt storm shifted a bit to the west lastnight. I think it may be time to just build a new one all together.

You know the east and north platforms have had issues for a while now. The east platform has lost the NE corner support and the north platform has lost a center support on the west side.

I looked at the 50' and 90' platforms recently and inspected them for damage. They both are in better shape than either of the shallow platforms but will have similar issues with the passage of time.

The 90' platform is built differently and looks as though it is in fair shape at the moment. Its framework appears to be made of steel.

The 50' platform has some boards loose but looks to have all its supports in place. It also looks to have had some repair work done on it at some time in the past. The work was structural and underneath the platform. This may have been done at time of placement to get it level and secure. Hard to tell. At any rate is appears to be solid at this time.

BTW water temp was 90* with 10 - 15 viz.

Next time I am there I will take a slate and make some notes concerning structural damage.

Do all the platforms have lines connecting them together?
I was on the 25 ft platform then followed the line to the 50 ft.

Yes.

There are lines from the entrance to both of the 25 ft platforms and from each of those to the 50 ft. From the 50 ft there is a rope to the 90.

Each of the 25 ft platforms also has a rope of to an attraction.

The computer platform needs major work.

The outboard support looks like it has been snapped and the whole platform has shifted outward. Most of the other supports are laying on their sides, it appeared that only the one was broken (caught by an anchor?)
