Today was another wonderful day at vista Point, weather was alot warmer then the previous days, barely any wind. As for the the divign well it was a wonderful 54 degrees againwith bout 10 feet of visibility. Stayed shallow today, so no idea what the visibility was at 90 feet. We only did one short dive today as the xmas parties, and last minute errands needed to be done. Hope everyone is haveing a wonderful holiday.

Steve

Wow! It took me long enough to find you guys. I was beginning to think that I was going to have to start my own club of "hard chargers" to be able to breathe underwater on a weekly basis. It looks like you folks are serious about your diving and practice your skills and I like that. My name is Steve. I'm a newbie, certified the middle of November 07. I'd like to meet up with your group and dive as often as I can. Let me know when the next dive is and I'll most likely be there. I dove in Saguaro Lake in early December (the last time I dove) with a project AWARE clean-up dive so cold water doesn't scare me. Hope to meet you all sometime.

Steve.

Good to see you here, Steve. I'll be in AZ over the summer so maybe we can meet for a dive or 2 at the lake then.

Holy cats! I thought I was the only madman who will dive in Saguaro! Well, me and Ron, maybe.

Done it. Didn't think anything was worse than Butcher Jones out at Saguaro. I was wrong. Dive by Braille.

yep... my favorite part was watching my compass spin in circles the whole "dive"... not sure if it does that at Saguaro too, but it's quite amusing to see

There was a day when Canyon actually had better conditions than Saguaro...
