Well, Bill and I dove mermet springs on Sunday. Let me tell you, it was cool air temps and great diving. The visability in the quarry has gotten much better over the last couple of weeks. at platform 2 you could actually see the other side of platform 1. At 60 and 100 feet, the visability was every bit of 50 feet. Water temps were about 75-80 at the surface, 55 at the nose of the plane, thermalcline was at 50 feet. second thermalcline was at roughly 75 feet and the temp dropped to the normal 45-48 at that point.
the extended visability, was helped becasue when we were there there was only one group of students diving. the entire area was pretty empty for such a beautiful day. we showed up at about 10:30 and actually got two spots in the main set of pavillions between the deep dock and the main dock (unheard of at that time of day).
It was a great day of diving. We had three dives and basicly circled the entire quarry. It looks like Mermet is back to its "warm time" again, but the exceptional visability was the highlight. I hope that the Vis sticks around a while...
