Anyone diving Table Rock Lake over the long weekend?

[bottomdweller]

I had planned to go camping at shell knob over the long Memorial day weekend. The wife had Gullbladder surgery a couple of days ago & I think camping may be out for this weekend.
So I was wondering if anyone is planning to dive somewhere like Dewey Short or nearby this weekend?
I need to get wet!!

I wish! As usual, while all you guys are out diving, I'm keeping the streets of Wichita safe for humanity.

Sorry, only 1/2 the new gear will be here. We will be cruising the lake though. The DW and I just went down to the dock after burning a bunch of brush from he ice storm and I jumped in to cool off; refreshing, but pretty nice at the surface. is still looks decent even with all the rain.

Well navy it is good to know we have people like you out there to keep the streets of Wichita safe. Sorry you have to do it so often.
I am sure I will l see you again sometime in the near future, be the little O or one of the near by lakes.
Coastie 6 we will have to meet up sometime if we are close enough?
My brother-in-law got a new girlfriend & this could seriously cut into my diving time unless I find some ore dive buddys. Solo course look out!! I may be headed your way.


I will find a way to dive this weekend

I'd like to dive, but I got to work till noon today and Sunday looks like 80% chance of thunderstorms. Not sure I want a 5 hour drive to find storms preventing me from diving.

I'm frustrated, I might dive a local quarry though.

It's been pretty nice here today, partly cloudy with some sprinkles in the morning. But a pretty good squall line just come through heavy downpours and lightning. They are predicting more of the same with increasing chances as the weekend progresses.

Beach Bum & I hit Dewey at about 11:30 today, We got in 2 dives & went to 70 ft. Temp at 70 was 57 degrees. we drove through a little rain on the way down from Nixa but it was a perfect day at Dewey.
We also got a chance to meet akanemrod & 2 of his dive buddys.
If it doesn't rain much we plan on a few more dives this weekend.
By the way nemrod said it was about 48 degrees at 100 ft.

Enjoy and be safe. We should try to connect sometime. You down all weekend or driving in from Nixa each day?

I am driving from Nixa each day. I actually live south of Nixa closer to Highlandville. It takes me about 30 minutes to get to Dewey Short from my house.

Highlandville puts you about 20-minutes from here. You work in Nixa or Springfield?
