I lived in Buffalo as a child and I don't recall Lake Erie being terribly cold. (Used to go swimming there when I was 6) I will be in Buffalo Sept 6-12 and would love to get a dive or two in. I have about 500 dives...nitrox, wreck, deep, etc. However...I have only dived fresh water once....and that was the crystal clear cenotes in the Yucatan. I have done murky and VERY cold in China...but still salt water.
What is that water temperature and vis like this time of year?? I'm not dry-suit certified...would I freeze my *** off?? I wouldn't lug all my equipment with me...although I might bring my reg and mask. I am also shopping for a more compact and light weight system for travel. I have been looking at a Transpac or perhaps a lightweight BP and wings (aluminum for travel) I would love to try some of that equipment before committing.
Do you happen to know of a dive op on the lake that rents that type of equipment?? Can you recommend people and places...and what kind of temp and vis am I considering here???
Thanks in advance.
