Alaskadiver, I would not recommend Lanier right now due to the low water conditions. But, if you are coming down I85 you will be within 45 minutes of Lake Keowee or an hour of Lake Jocassee. You can contact Bill with Off the Wall Diving, Off The Wall Charters and possibly set up a trip at...

Kyle, Congrats on the promotion. I wish you and Heather the best in your move to Memphis. Don't worry, you will always be considered a Looney Bird. Allen

Mike, I don't know about Lanier, but a group of us are diving the Hot Hole up at Keowee on Saturday. Contact Clif if you are interested.

I was there just 2 weeks ago. The Holiday Inn is a nice place, not a roach motel at all. You get a breakfast each morning - eggs, bacon, grits, make your on waffle, fruit, pastries - all included. There are 2 pools with a Tiki bar between them, Nick mixes a really good rum & coke - heavy on...

I'm sure you guys will. I would love to do Blackbeard's again sometime. It is a great way to get in a lot of dives at a reasonable price and have a lot of fun. I will check with the BOSS and see if that is possible. We will be going on a cruise the first week of June so may be busy getting...

Congrats on winning the Blackbeard's trip. You and Heather will have a great time on that boat. Of course if you do not feel that it would be luxurious enough for you then I would be happy to sacrifice and take care of it for you.

I know what you mean. I almost had the same problem yesterday with my dive flag. I forgot my reel and used one of the poly rope spool thingys. Tied everything off and then geared up. When I picked up the flag I noticed the knots were loosened. So I threw in a couple more half hitches and a...

The milk jugs will work fine, especially the yellow Mayfield jugs, hi viz on the surface. Once flooded they are easy to transport and after a few squirts of air they zoom right up. Kyle and I watched our jug float all over Lanier after the failed K-not. It kind of had us worried at first...

Ok, who is tying the line this time? :D

Great dive Dawg. We will have to meet up again some time at the mudhole. It sure was nice getting back in the water after a too long dry spell. I was surprised at the good viz especially with all the pollen floating on the surface.

Sherry, The pussycat doll under your user ID will probably be gone in the next day or so. I read in other thread that the changed avatars and headings were an April fools joke. Regarding Lake Lanier. If you are local to this area then it is a good place to work on your skills and become...

Dawg, As Jeremy has mentioned Lanier does get cold. I think he posted low 40's on his last dive there a week ago and that was a surface water temp. Even in the summer you can see upper 40 temps at depth. The wetsuit you are looking at should be fine if you are only doing single dives. I...

Hi neighbor and welcome to the board. You might want to check out the Looney Bird section. There are quite a few divers around this area who dive up at Lanier, if you do not mind the cold.

Nah, nothing like that. They are both non-divers, my spouse and an 8yo knothead. She just doesn't see the fun in standing around in the cold watching the water.

Add me to the list and possibly 2 others depending upon the weather. JKSteger + 1 Baydive20 + 1 MikeRAult + 1 The Kraken + Yellow Angel Fish+1 JCDdiver + 1 Divinginn Corigan No Fish +1 Diver85 Jack (if I can get him out) kylepreid +1 Lone Frogman ScubaPT + 2 possibles Total = 21-23

To celebrate the New Year Jeremy has decided to forgo the dry suit and reenact his first New Years dive. I believe this was done in a 1 mm skin. He has graciously consented to do this for all the new Looney bird's so that they may see what a human popsicle looks like. I was not present for...

Hi Toebird, After entering West BAnk Park you will have to turn to the left, the cove will be on your right after making the turn. There are basically 2 coves that we dive at, one in the rear of the park and one closer to the front. We needed a way to identity the coves so everyone would know...

After a 2 month dry spell it was nice to finally get some dives in. Kyle, as always it was great buddying up with you and Heather. This was my first time up at Jocassee and I will definitely be going back.

I've been lurking around on the board. Just been too busy every weekend with family stuff to get any diving in. Looking foward to Sunday. 9:00 will fine for me. I will either take my 3mm with a hooded vest or the 5mm, oh yeah and some food/drinks.
