    Ya know...that is one heck of an idea and I could probably be talked into such a thing. I wonder if we could get a gang together for a solstice bash. Hmmmm.

    Reactions are likely to range wildly:

    From this:

    A bit late on this post but noticed one thing on your post , You talk diving Great Slave and mention the arctic circle. The arctic circle is 100's of Km north of here so you wont be diving both in Great Slave.

    Sorry for the error

    Yes you are correct. Great Bear lake is on the arctic circle.

    Well, I havent dove on the arctic circle, but I have done a number of dives in Great Slave Lake. If anyone does come up to Yellowknife, and wants a chance to put one on their weight belt, let me know, I may have time off to do something. expecially a midnight day dive.
