Had a blast at Fortune Pond. I brought the camera, but I was having too much fun and it never got out of the van. I dove half vintage and sorta tech. With my DivAir I used a pony tank to run my drysuit and serve as a bail out. No bail out required though. I took the DivAir down 125 feet and swam along a ledge for about five minutes before working my way back up. Although the WOB is a little higher then some reg's, my Aluminum bodied DivAir was silky smooth breathing all the way. I'm impressed enough with it that I plan to do some Lake Michigan wreck diving with it this summer. I also dove my Kraken with an eclectically rigged 72 twin set. That's almost cheating though. LOL. My "modern" dives I used twin 72's with double isolated manifolds and HOG regs all around. That is what I use for dive deep (for me) wrecks in the great lakes. For instance, the Christmas tree ship "ROUSE SIMMONS" and the "Walter B Allen". Both close to about 170 feet to the bottom.
The weather this weekend was awesome. 80+ degrees and sunny Friday and mid 60's on Saturday. Those interested in diving Fortune Pond should check out this thread,
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8598. August 19th - 21st we will do a "Sand Dog" up there. There has been zero response to the thread, so it may be just me and a few fellow divers. That's okay though. I can do some great diving, stay at a cheap but very nice motel and do the Lasagna at Alice's Restaurant...... Yes, that's right, Alice's Restaurant. Alice's is an Italian supper club up there and is a nice little place. Your hostess "Jill" will always greet you with a big smile and make you feel at home. Great place!
