If you break down and want to hit the Sound for a dive, look me up. I would be happy to tour you around.

OP
I've seen that picture a few times.
(Sanders beach, last year)Come join our Tuesday dive group! Last night we had a bunch of divers, some in wetsuits, some dry, some doing deco scooter dives, some just poking around on the wall. All the Christmas lights from the marina are beautiful. The vis was nice, and the air temp started out around 40 degrees, which makes for great suit-up weather for December. The water temp is still in the mid-to-upper 40's.
OP
I made a stupid typo in my last post. I meant to say that I'd want to get dry suit certified. There's no way I'd go in that lake now with a wet suit. And, for that matter, my regulator is warm water only. I hate to seem unsociable, but 40 degree water is about as appealing to me as a poke in the eye with a toothpick. I went snow shoeing last winter and just about froze my hands and feet off. And that was with vigorous exercise to boost the circulation. Diving, conserving air, moving as little as possible, in cold water? I'm not sure I could handle diving in that lake even in summertime. Water temperatures in the Caribbean are around 80 degrees, and I wear a 3-mil wet suit, and I still get cold toward the end of a dive, or if we have to bob around for too long waiting for the boat to pick us up.
