Canyon Lake, Ramp #1
12/23/08 @ 4:00PM
Lake Level approximately 10' low
Visibility Poor (0-1')
Air Temp 46(F)
Surface Temp 50(F)
Temp at 46' was 48(F)

Exposure protection used: 7/5mm Henderson jumpsuit, 6.5mm hood, 5mm boots, and 5mm gloves. Dive conditions were comfortable using this protection.

Lake seemed to be post-turnover due to the low visibility from surface to lowest depth of 46'. Better visibility would have allowed for a longer and more enjoyable dive.

Very nice, sunny day to go to Mansfield Park. No other divers out.
