Pearl Lake's website says they are open for the season for diving. Anyone been there yet? How is the vis?

Isn't the vis in Pearl always the same: 30' for the first 5 divers, 3' for the rest?:biggrin:

You should be fine. I did Pearl this time last year and wore a two piece 7mil. The only thing that got cold was my feet.

Have fun.

I've been to Haigh twice this year. Temps and vis are pretty close to Pearl. Although Haigh was 30+feet on the deep side.

My next trip will be to Pearl for an change of scenery. So how were you with the cold? I dive wet too and was chilly in between dives.

wasnt cold in between dives because i sat in the tent with propane heaters ... the air temp was colder than the water temp though. You should be fine to do pearl in a wetsuit this weekend.
