    At Dewey Short: 5 foot or less vis, 77 degree temp @ surface, 1st thermocline @ 30 ft, 2nd thermocline @ 40 ft. Storm water/weather has damaged the bouyancy "swim through" pvc set up along the wall. It is setting lop-sided, partially on the bottom, but still upright. Treeline is EXTREMELY...

    Those diving Table Rock July 4th

    To those diving Table Rock on July 4th. I spoke with the Army Corps today. No information is currently available on "closed" sites for diving EXCEPT: Moonshine Beach. Moonshine Beach and the manmade point between it and the boat ramp IS off limits due to high water and the risk of being hit...

    Vis at deweys short?

    WOW!! Hard to believe that Moonshine Beach is completely submerged. Can't even tell there was ever sand or a rock point there! Any info/update on when they were hoping to close the flood gates?

    08 DUI dry suit rally calendar!!

    Just found out that the folks running the site will not allow Sho-Me Scuba to offer boat shuttles at the event. However, if you have all of your own gear and want to hit one of the other dive sites, one of their boats WILL be in the area and most likely available. That means that IF you are...

    08 DUI dry suit rally calendar!!

    Great question. Give their shop a call and ask for details. Louis or Monty should have the info. I have not spoken with them since Louis informed me that he would try to take the portable compressor. 417-334-9073

    08 DUI dry suit rally calendar!!

    Just a reminder that April 12th and 13th are the dates at Table Rock Lake (Dewey Short Visitor's Center) for the DUI dry suit rally. If you've wanted to know about or dive a dry suit without the pressure to buy, this is a MUST attend event for you! For very little money, the DUI folks will...

    08 DUI dry suit rally calendar!!

    DUI has decided to change the site (not the venue) of the Dry suit test dive dates for April 12-13, 2008. It was slated for Moonshine Beach (just north of the dam). It is now slated for Dewey Short (south side of the dam) on the same dates: April 12-13, 2008. This may be in lieu of the...

    For Sale – Sealife DC300 Underwater Camera

    Just to add a little info about the DC 300 from personal experience. I bought a DC 300 kit for my girlfriend because it is a straight-forward kit. Simple to use, great results for just a 3 megapixel, and the instructions are easy to understand (provided you truly read them). Overall, this...

    08 DUI dry suit rally calendar!!

    Here's a slight update. I spoke with Louis from Scuba-sports in Branson today. They confirmed receiving my email regarding the DUI event. He is not currently a DUI dealer, but is exploring the option. As a result, Louis has expressed interest in helping out divers at the 4/12-13/08 event...

    08 DUI dry suit rally calendar!!

    I have not had the chance to contact ACOE as of yet (been under the weather). But, I have sent DUI an email regarding the usual parking fee charged at Moonshine beach. Would an extra $5 truly be a deal-breaker for some?

    08 DUI dry suit rally calendar!!

    This event SHOULD take place BEFORE the park officially opens. If that is the case, there may not be a parking fee. I'll contact the ACOE office and find out.

    Correct, on the other side of the dam from Dewey Short on 265/165. The entrance is right next to the entrance for Chateau on the Lake. There is a lot of parking at the boat ramp area attached to Moonshine beach. 265/265 splits by Chateau on the Lake: 165 circles back toward Branson and 265...

    Looking for diving/buddies Missouri

    CHW, Definately link up with Fleep up north, you'll have a great time. It truly is hit-and-miss this time of year in the Spfld region. Most divers around here either are not equiped (becuase of cost) to dive the cold or simply do not desire to dive the cold. I've been known to brave the...
