Dandy Don...I've been doing 34* in a wetsuit for years. The only bad part is changing after the dive.

Dave , dont have much experience with cold-water diving in lakes but if you get the chance try Cape Ann ( Rockport ) MA. The ocean is a balmy 38-42 and the marine life is really bustling when it's this time of the year . Either way , good diving to ya...

You guys are more rugged than I am!

I got rid of my wetsuit after my first year of diving because even 47 degrees felt too cold! I like being "toasty" warm the whole dive, so I'm always in a drysuit in any water colder than 80 degrees!

Recognize that Atlantic torpedo ray in my avatar? Cathedral Rock.

Excellent advice for the best shore diving in the northeast. Cape Ann, MA, is my usual dive destination. Check out my profile for more details on the torpedo ray pic.

Maybe I'll see you there sometime. I'll bet we know the same people, too. I'm hoping to dive Front Beach in early February. 8^)

Good diving to you, too!

Thats good news we were starting to wonder if we would have the Ice.

FWIW:

This morning, I talked with some ice fishermen and there's 4 inches of ice now on the lake I dove from shore 11 days ago. I was surprised how fast it's formed!

Mallet's Bay is a cinch, I'd guess, judging by what's happening here in NH. My local lake is similar in depth, although about a quarter the area of Mallet's Bay.

Sounds like a fun outing for you. Good luck.
