I took my OW cert dives at Lake Pleasant this weekend...
I did (2) dives at Desert Tortoise on Saturday at max depth of 37'. The visibilty, due to all the students raking the bottom was about....umm say 1/2 INCH...It was baad. Had to put SPG to mask to read it. Water was 85 degree w/a Thermocline at about
33'. I briefly touched the Thermo, but does anyone know how cold is usally drops in that paticular areas Thermo ? The water on Top was 84 but significantly dipped (i did not get reading) in the Thermo.
Sunday dove 2x at What I guess is called Dougs Reef/Island/Shelf depending on the water level. This was much better vis, about 15' and same water temp. Thermo here, that someone else had went into, was at about 31', but again, no temp reading from within the Thermocline. Going to check other threads for ppl to back to Pleasant with as I can NOT WAIT to get back in the water and dive !!
Where are other locations, aside from Desert Tortoise that you can get a decent shore dive from ??
