Mt Storm conditions May 1st & 2nd

[WVMike]

The lake is warming up slowly. Still only one stack going at plant. The water temp was 72* on the surface and 70* at the 26 foot platforms, and 64* at 100 feet. You can actually feel a thermocline at 30 feet, thats where is starts chilling fast.

The vis is getting better had 6 to 12 feet in some places, however there were tons of checkout dives going on and it got silted out pretty quick. Had to go find the vis out of the training area.

Saw lots of catfish, a few bass, and some pesky blue gills. I have not seen the big carp that likes to muck up the bottom around the motorcycle.

Thanks. Heading down the 22nd & 23rd for AOW class dives. Still have time for one more person to get the classroom in before then. need 6 hours min for that. Dives to be done will be advanced skills, UW Nav, Night on Saturday and on Sunday Deep, Search and Recovery, and Buddy Skills and Assist. I'd like to get down there before but not going to happen. And the new drysuit won't be in til that week I'm doing checkouts.
