Haigh report for Oct 5

[Glub000]

Went to Haigh Quarry yesterday (10/5) and had a couple dives. Vis was decent 15ft.+or- and the temps were confortable at 62 to 58 degrees. We had the whole quarry to ourselves from 8 to noon. On our first dive I worked on some reel skills and navigation. Only got turned around 3 times this trip. On our second dive we just decided to kick around and watch the fish. Went to the rock crusher and on the way back noticed a couple schools of minnows, then a few more and more ... Turns out that they released a couple thousand minnows while we were under and there was an all out feeding frenzy. We had a great dive and when we surfaced you could see them jumping like mad trying to escape the danger below. Hope to get back at least one more time this year. Now I'm off on my fall golf trip Thursday. I need at least one more hobbie.

Good to hear. I need to make a trip down there with my LDS to finish up the diving portion of my Rescue Class and would like to do it this year still. Glad to hear that the water isn't too cold yet.
