The swimming cove. Three others bailed on the heated boat, so I had only meant to walk in and check my new drysuit seams as the air temp. was 29 degrees. Then I saw how clear the water was, then I saw these diving birds.......etc.... so I entered @ the bathhouse and followed the cove (under the birds), over the main ramps and under the dock (which is cool because there is some rocky structure and you're not "supposed" to be there), then cut straight accross back to the entry point (break in the rocks). I had to get out after 57 minutes due to frozen (but dry) feet. No Rolexes under the dock and remarkably little trash. Jocassee is the civilized lake and really beautiful in the fog. I was completely alone and quite enjoying it.
I wish. I dove wet two weeks ago of Bill's boat. that heater was great after being down off the wall.

I guess they didn't tell you about Santa Claus ............................ Just dive off of the heated boat all winter
.
What about Santa?
Last year he was amazing! He left two slightly used scuba tanks under the tree and a whole bunch of new gear........I have been wanting to dive off the heated boat. That's just a long hike (2 hrs 1 way) for a two tanker for me. You guys must be closer to the lake than me and for that I say :mooner:!
However, when my [-]lungs[/-]gills start to dry out to much, I might just have to drive on up to the heated boat.
I bet that heater felt good after that dive on the wall.:flame: Along with a big cup of
!Sorry,but got bored at work and started playing with all the little smiley things. LMAO!

I only live about an hour away from Jocassee. We love Bill's boat because he doesn't mind us tech divers.
Yes, the heater felt great. I was standing a little close and my shorts started to steam. Someone started singing the Christmas Song...Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...I cracked up.

That is pretty awesome, being that close to good diving. We usually bring up the pontoon and camp at the park. I have never met "Bill" himself, I have been on his boat with Rocky once. I have also been tied up to his boat(Trip was Captain) a time or two before they put the second set of mooring balls on the Junk in the early spring. They(Off the Wall) seem to run a top notch shop up there. I have noticed Bills boat does have a lot of Tech divers on it. My goal is to make it into Tech diving one of these days. I am still just a rookie learning.
That's sounds like something I would have done. Singing, "Chestnuts roasting on the open fire!"
Well, maybe we will meet up there sometime soon on Bills boat. I will watch you go off the wall from my perch right above the back of the Junk.
Until then hope you enjoy some good diving.
