Anyone been to Hathway Ponds recently? Anyone Planning on going? I was curious to get a recent conditions (particularly temps) report. I'm hoping to get out Monday but temps still seem a bit chilly for wetsuit diving. So considering hitting Hathway instead of the seas...

thanks all

It's about 55 degrees at the surface with thermocline at the usual 15ft. An instructor friend of mine has run about 30 OW students throught the pond over the past two weekends. He is not going to be there this weekend, so it might be a good time to go.

Vis was maybe 15', 41 degrees below the 15' thermocline.

Soggy:

I was there today as was an enormous OW class. I didn't detect any poop.

Did you use the visual detection method, or did you remove your reg and give it the taste test?

well if anyone happens to Hathways (and conditions change) I'd be very interested in a report, since I'll likely be doing a tuneup over there in the next week or so

~thanks all

Two weeks ago, yes, but I was looking for a slightly more current report. No offense, Sir Soggy! Just looking for "current" conditions. The 41 at 15 you reported 2 weeks back was too cold for wetsuit diving (or at least for me to go diving in a wetsuit). Paul's report from PGDive sounded a little better but I didnt hear the thermocline depth and temp. But 55 is A-Okay for me.

So if anyone happens by Hathaways in the next week or so, a report would be super.

thanks all
