Hi all,
I have been diving for two years, mostly in quarries local to Southern Ontario, and so far from mid May until late October. I am just curious about two things:
1) How early does the ice typically come off the water in my region?
2) How early do most divers start to hit the water?
I'm not opposed to cold water despite not yet being a dry suit owner (though I aim to rectify that for my wife and I at some point). I'm interested to know as the viz always seems so much better earlier in the season that putting up with the cold seems worth it. Is it possible to have poor viz really early due to the spring 'thermal inversion' as the ice melts?
