I'll be traveling to Fortune Pond in Crystal Falls Michigan May 15th - May 17th to do some diving both modern and Vintage! The state should be open and the snow should be melted by then. Come down or up as the case may be

The heater will be on in my van where I change. I use a dry suit so I'm pretty layered anyway. And then there's the grill with Bratwurst and or the Coleman stove with my home made chili on it. Cold will not be an issue!simonbeans wrote: ↑Wed Apr 22, 2020 7:21 pmAre the heaters on? I am getting used to water and air in the 80s. Any chance of that in NORTHERN Michigan?
Had another beautiful sunny day yesterday so I went lake diving after work. Visibility 20 feet at least. One thing about lake diving... You have to take advantage of clear water when you get it. Springtime we have cloudy conditions right after the lakes open up (unfreeze). That's the "turnover" period. Immediately after that the water will clear up BUT... It begins the growing season for weeds and algae. In past years I have seen it clear viz and sunny during the week but put off diving until the weekend... And often weather or something else kept me from diving on the weekend. And then when I finally was able to go, it wasn't good visibility anymore.SurfLung wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 9:48 amSimulated Fortune Pond Trip...
- I had the trip planned so I still took the Friday off and just went diving in a couple of our local lakes instead. Friday the 15th was a beautiful day, sunny with no clouds. And the lakes gave me a good 15 feet visibility. I made two dives on Friday and one dive on Sunday.
