Blue Springs (IN) on May 30th

[GTaylor]

Looking for anyone that may be interested in diving BS on Saturday, would be able to meet up early in the morning and get 2 or possibly more dives in.

Greg, I might be able to meet you for a couple dives. What time were you thinking?

 

[crpntr133]

Sorry guys but I am out this time. Please post conditions if you dive.

 

[GTaylor]

I was thinking around 9:30 or 10 if that works for you. Should be able to get more than 2 dives in if we wanted to.

I'll be spending the weekend camping at Blue Springs and would be more than happy to get a couple of dives in with you if y'all don't mind an inexperienced diver tagging along (just got AOW last fall). I'm easy to find - I'll be the pony-tailed gent over with the fine folks from Scuba Unlimited.

 

[GTaylor]

You're more than welcome to tag along, we will be at the North beach at around 9. Hopefully the vis will still be good.

 

[Benutzer]

I'm not counting on decent vis, though at least it should be better than the last time I was there - kneeling in the winter's worth of muck on the platform during my OW cert dive.

I think we generally hang around the central beach so I'll wander over and see if I can find you.

As expected, warmer weather has resulted in more particulate matter and worsened visibility. I'm not sure if it is atypical for this time of year though. I would estimate 10-15' visibility - I've dived in worse. There does seem to be more algae growing on the silt now. One of the main training platforms has been brushed clean. There were a lot of open water students there - it was busier than I had seen in a long time. Of course the weather was very nice. There was a thermocline at 15-20'. At the bottom the temp was 43*.

Doesn't look good for viz this year.

I wonder if the algae is because of the silt.

Sounds like time to introduce some zebra muscels into the environment
