[canuckdiver]

a bunch of people from the other areas of the board (and country) will be going to Gilboa, ohio for a get-together on jan 18th. Anybody from this neck of the woods interested in going down and showing them how to handle the cold?? LOL

[snuggle]

id love to if you think my 2 piece wet suit will do the trick..

[canuckdiver]

I'll pm you in a moment!

what kinda of water temps you reckon there will be there at Gilboa in January?? We dove last month in Gilboa and it was snowy and icy on the docks. We had 45 degrees from 30 feet down to a 112 feet. Mind you I don't particularly like to mix cold cold temps and deep conditions because of the freeflows at depth. But my dive buddy and I have discussed going to do a couple of dive before my trip to Coz at the end of January but we were thinking either quarry or Sarnia fast drift diving cuz the St.Clair river doesn't freeze over.

[canuckdiver]

current temp, according to www.divegilboa.com, is 50* at the surface, 42 at 60'.
so, basically the same as we get most of the time! :out:

seriously, shouldn't be too bad, and the group probably will not be doing anything very deep, unless we get a few people interested, then I'll draft up a dive plan.
At this point, looking to see how many people would be interested, and if we can pool resources as far as vehicles ;)

it usually takes us about an hour and 40 mins to Gilboa how long for you from Trenton??

"it usually takes us about an hour and 40 mins to Gilboa how long for you from Trenton??"

probably looking at a little over 5 hours.
if you guys want to meet in windsor, and then somebody could take over the driving from there, would work for me!I could leave here real early in the morning, and be to windsor by about breakfast.
I can pick up anybody between me and windsor ;)

[dcostanza]

Bubbleboy,
I trust the link worked for you? So what do you think? Will you be there?

We will tell them at the desk where to send people looking for KPP or Scubaboard. I am hoping to get set up near the ramp.

Hope to meet you all soon.

[snuggle]

hey roost.. .i may have todrive there earlier that morning to meet up with someone as to buying a drysuit..so as of right now im driving empty unless you and canuck have something else in mind..let me know..

[canuckdiver]

depending on what you guys have in mind, I could get to windsor in time for an early breakfast, and we could hook up from there?
I have no problems with leaving here real early to get me down there in the early morning, if someone wants to take over diving from there to let me have a nap, even better! LOL

[snuggle]

hey canuckdiver..i went into the detroit river this morning to see how my wetsuit would hold up..and hey no i didnt go below the water just up to my neck lol and i was surprised as to how warm my suit kept me..so i guess il be just fine in gilboa..

Snuggle we have a general membership club meeting on January 16 at Lilly kazilly's, are you going to make that one? It will be the first of the year. I'll be at the executive meeting January 7 and I know we will be discussing lots of the dive trips for the year to present to the club on January 16. We will also no doubt be putting on a Peche Island bbq during the winter to kick off the dive season (always a blast).

i Will let you know when and where the pool session is for underwater hockey:)


I believe it is at Riverside highschool, but I will find out for sure.
