Spring is here. Who's going diving?

The ice is going out today here in northern Muskoka. (For anyone who hasn't seen that happen, large patches are still kind of a giant slushy at the moment, surface temps around the freezing point.) There's enough open water that I was able to get a boat in the water and do a short cruise. Diving is possible, but the water is very turbid.

Just peeking at the web cams in Barrie and it looks like the ice is gone from the bay. Although there may still be some floating around further out in the lake. Hoping to have my regs back by the weekend and probably take a dip at Humber West on Sunday. Need a few more days like today (about 160 of them )

Well, I'm taking the diving course at the end of June, so I wont be able to dive until around then. But, I'd really love to be able to tag along with others in the area. I live in Parry Sound (Basically), so if anyone in the area doesn't mind a newcomer joining them around that time, let me know.

Thanks SS, keep me posted.

Eric - a balmy 37 degrees in the river this past weekend. I don't know your pain/stupidity threshold, but you may want to hold off a week or two until it at least hits 40.....

The guy in the wetsuit this weekend only did one dive - he gave us the "cold" sign about 10 minutes into the dive...

If your still willing to go, pm me and I'll give you my numbers. Weekends work best, but I'm usually willing and able after work as well.....

i tend to dive when i feel safe/comfortable, when you get cold you get stupid/dangerous and although i have dan, i don't want to use it.

thanks again

Humber Bay doesn't count.
