Spring dive at Gilboa?

[TheHobster]

Is a GLWC dive planned this year? Can't find a date here, or is it on FB group?

I think there is a date for the M&G.
I can check and see that you get the info.

May 2-4th for the GLWC Meet and Greet!
Come on and dive with us share some camp fire stories.
I am hoping for the ice to clear soon.

Thanks. Was thinking about the Pensacola Lionfish Derby that weekend, but my niece and nephew can't make it. That may be possible, unless I do Haigh the weekend before. I have to be careful with my kitchen passes

i know this likely sounds like a stupid southern tip of the region question, but what are shallow temps at gilboa around that time? we've only acquired 5mm wet + hoods (not having jumped to dry.. yet), but if its tolerable up on the shelf, might make a trip up that early.

I think that would depend on your tolerance to cold. One other thing to keep in mind is that this is a particularly long and brutal winter, so shallow temps will be delayed in warming (assuming it gets warmer between now and may).

Hit up the facebook group for up to date info.

You might be able to do one dive in the shallows in a a 5mm but it will be cold. This year the quarry froze over which is rare and there won't be much time for it to warm up.

Looks like weekend of 3 May. Given the late spring and cold winter, I expect the shallows (~30ft) to be maybe 40 degrees. Tubes maybe 38. Doable in a good fitting 2 piece 7 mm suit.

The temps this season are going to be cooler but the result will be better vis!
I am hoping for 40º-45º as Ken has mentioned the Tubes 60'+ going to be looking at the 34º-38º range.
The M&G usually have fire going to help keep everyone warm and happy a pot or two of coffee.
Come out and see what's up.
