[Compressor]

Anyone diving during the eclipse?

I thought it'd be fun to write a Solar Eclipse Diving specialty.

Don't give PADI any ideas...

If you log five eclipse dives you get a Master Solar Eclipse Diver card.

Diving during partial eclipse? Or only during totality?
If partial, only one dive per eclipse? Or multiple dives per eclipse?

Diving during totality could be interesting... I imagine a typical daylight dive with a couple of minutes of night diving thrown in in the middle of the dive!

The eclipse here started at 1:03pm and just ended now at 3:42pm, but is only partial with 80% coverage. Will have to wait for 2024 to be in the path of totality. Will apparently have over 4 minutes of darkness locally for the 2024 event!

Only partial here as well. I was on the tractor mowing our 6 acres with 2 sunglasses on just in case.

Just got home. We had the best conditions of the year.

Same here. Low boat traffic.

I did. Summersville Lake, WV. Three dives, two tanks. Nearly three hours bottom time.

Excellent conditions for winter access. Max depth 74 feet.

Solo diving.

Actually, Mermet Springs was doing something of the sort today. They're located in extreme southern Illinois.

Why the sunglasses?
