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.

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! ut:

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

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
