Southwest Sand SharksIf you can't stand the "Dry Heat" stay out of the region. In the heart of the Sonoran & Mohave Deserts, we dive lakes, rivers and diverse tropical waters. Including Arizona, Southern Nevada, SW New Mexico and the Northern Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California to you gringos).

Anyone been out diving lately at the lake or anywhere? I have been out of action for about 2 weeks and losing my mind. That and I have new gear coming in (doubles, cannister light, etc.) and I want to dive it so I am holding off until it all comes in.
Anyone going diving at Pleasant any time soon? I know the conditions suck, but I havent been diving for way too long and I am just looking to get wet and maybe practice a little.
Well we were out testing out the Lake waters and it was a balmy 57 degrees at 60 feet, surprisingly visibilty had improved since our last outting. Still not much to see, I keep hoping that I will stumble upon something interesting to see. We should be back out at the lake again this weekend probably both sat & sun, if anyone would care to join us.
Dove down by the 10 lane boat ramp today....got a couple dives in....surface temp was 62 and bottom temp 57.... A bit cold even with the semi-dry....Guess it is time to spring for a dry suite!!! Vis was about 6ft but below 45ft it gets a bit dark, used lights to find our way arround.... Didn't see any life or find much!!! But got wet and blew some bubles....Made a good day!!!

If anyone is heading to the lake this weekend (or any time) and needs a buddy let me know. I am looking to do some diving but I don't have any friends that dive :( (I know I need new friends).

I'm always up for a dive and it's tough to find anyone who doesn't mind the cold. I'll PM you.
Well dove at Vista Point this morning, and man was it firgid on the surface, I believe it was 34 according to my trucks thermostat, and it the wind was blowing fairly hard, almost enough to make the waves have white caps, almost. the water conditiosn were a a balmy 54 degrees so not to shabby, was that temperature all teh way downt o 95 feet where we bottomed out, could not find any deeper water if we tried.
visibilty was around 10 feet or so, I was quite surprised actually, i figured it would be worse but go figure, apparently Pleasant doesn;t play by the rules of artificial lakes.
Going to repeat this again tomorrow and do some more reel work and get use to the hole doubles thing still, there a bit different then diving singles, especially the wing, not like venting an eclipse you have to shift air from one side to the other or it will not all vent out, which makes it a bit more difficult.
