Hi guys
I dove Lake Jocassee, SC back in 2011 at the divers ramp for the first time. I did a short dive in my drysuit. It was on May 20th, my wedding anniversary. Reached a max depth of 65ft. I didn't get a chance to explore the place much depth wise. I understand they have done some upgrades to the area since then.
I'm wanting to get back over there again maybe by early Oct. with my 7mm wet suit and get another dive in before the weather gets colder later in the Fall.
I may probably get around to finally doing my AOW checkout dives there later next Spring, along with getting my official dry suit certification done as well. I can't take off anymore vacation time and expenses with my vacation time and funds spent for this year.
I am self taught with my Pinnacle EVO 2 drysuit I bought back in 2008. Need to make it official with an instructor's nod to make sure I'm doing it right. Have never had any accident or near accident with this suit, I dive it very conservatively.
What kind of depths and sights could I expect to see near or around the ramp where I would get in to start my dive?
Also anyone done their AOW, either PADI or SDI there in the Spring or early summer with Bill at the dive shop?
What was it like to do your AOW checkout dives there at that time of the year?
Thanks!
