Sacramento Lake Diving

[Brewski]

The class:
Turn computer to altitude diving mode
Dive
Enjoy

Not quite, remember your changing pressure getting to the dive site and returning to sea level afterward. That pressure change can affect your chances of getting DCS. Better to be armed with knowledge than to be lucky.

So you are saying that going 100mph down the hill after 2 dives to the NDL is a bad idea?

Why doesn't Dolphin offer an altitude class?

I have been thinking of hitting up Natomas underneath Rainbow bridge. From the upper parking lot easy entry and there should be lots of lost stuff by the rocks under the foot of the bridge where everyone jumps one would think. Flows should be low right now too - spring/summer is the time they let (too much) water out. Folsom is too low/murky to consider - the foothill lakes would be best right now (Camanche, Sly)

We do. Normally we dive at Lake Tahoe for altitude. Many advanced open water classes are conducted at lake Tahoe and the altitude adventure dive is integrated into that class. Did you want to do your AOW with me there?

I've already done my AOW when I was in Oki.

But let me know when you get back and I might be up for doing the class by itself.

I plan to dive here on Tuesday morning, 1/20. I will be in the parking lot by 9 AM. Contact me if you would like to go at a different time or just show up.

This is my first dive in California in two years.

Sorry, my only mid week day that I can dive is Thursdays.

One more local here, up for lake a dive, but only because I've been having trouble getting to Monterey, though I'm getting a dive in there in Feb. But I usually have some flexibility to go midweek, if anyone's up for it. Fishdiver, I just found this thread now, and can't make it tomorrow. Otherwise, I would. I'm in Folsom, btw.
