Perhaps with a slightly more subtle approach.

Hung with a tech class today at "tech island" off the Scubateers boat. The wall is a really nice dive. It starts around 35' and bottoms at about 98'. MAX depth was 115'. The wall has several overhangs and a lot to explore. The thermal was at 52' and got down to 60 degrees.

Bill (PhxSki) and I dove the far reaches of DT road. For those keeping score at home the GPS coordinates (acording to my trusty "Fish-N-Map") are around 33 degrees 51.60' by 112 degrees 17.18'. On the map its in about 60' of water but this time of year its high and dry. With the lake level so low there are a lot of dive sites now that won't be available later on except by boat. This is one of them. We were directly in line with and due north of the 10-lane boat ramp.
Vis was surprisingly good. Well, better than last weekend at BP anyway. We enjoyed about 10'-12' vis most of the time. It was a new area to both of us so we did a couple of large square patterns just to get a feel of the place. We needed lights below about 40 feet. We hit a thermocline at about 48'. The deepest we got was 58 feet on both dives. Temperature most of the time was 75 degrees. The thermocline was cooler but I haven't had a chance to download my computer to see what it registered. We didn't stay below the thermocline for long.
After our dives were done I checked out the Scorpion Bay Marina just for grins. The gates were closed but there were a couple of cars in the parking lot. There isn't a good way to get to the shore so it looks like it you'd need a boat to dive the bay anymore.
Next I went up to the northern enternace. It looks like there would be some good shore diving near the 4-lane boat ramp. The boating season is really slowing down now so there were only a handfull of boats using the ramp. There are some really nice (read "easy") enterance points to the far right of the ramp.
That's the nice thing about diving this time of year. There are so many "new" dive spots that we probably won't have time to try them all before they start filling the lake again. Then we won't see them again until next fall. And now you can walk the areas that you were diving a few months ago and "scout" out the topography for when you will be finning instead of walking.

Steve,
I am looking for some one to dive with at Pleasant most any day or weekend, I previously did dives with DiveAholic from Tucson, but he moved to FL. Are you or anyone you know planing to do shore dives there soon?
