Hi,
Steve, Don, Rory and I headed to Stonington beach to start the diving season. We had to divide our group into Dry (Don, Me) and Non-Dry gloves teams (
)
We dove into out dive gear not knowing what to expect. We actually considered to call the dive due the forecast man (rain). Thanks G they are always wrong. Beautiful day sunny fair wind no surge at all. As we went into the water we did our final check and give the thumbs down signal. As we navigate into a single group, five minutes into the dive we split into two groups. Conditions were poor still not difficult to follow each others track. Sediment and cold temperature (around 37@15) made it quite a unexpected challenge. We went West then South; we could not spot any sea life. The surge has change the bottom raveling a new landscape with new things to see. After 35 mins we decide to head back to the beach. Slowly swimming back we start to swim against a weak but noticeable current. We end the dive after 56mins. We were very satisfied to have started the season. No better way to celebrate Eastern!!!
