Well, we got back safe and sound. We had to park up in the parking lot to avoid getting stuck in the snow near the waters edge. We then had to suit up in the van instead of the shacks at the quarry. The air temp was about 22 and the water was a warm 37 to 39. Greg dived his PRAM and modern drysuit with wet gloves???? I dived my AWESOME vintage style HYDROGLOVE with my PS DRYGLOVES that I sell on my site. I also of course used my triples and the Blue FX 50 FATHOM (why wouldn't I?
). After gearing up we trudged down to the water in about 6 inches of snow. We were both suprised that there was no ice on the water? We slipped in the water and away we went. We nearly did the circumference of the quarry for a total of 50 minutes. After getting out Greg looked like a glazed donut with his suit all iced up. My hands were toasty warm and Greg was hurting. The viz was rather nice about 30 plus in most parts. The Hydroglove did well and was VERY low drag. I did get a little more water leakage in via the hood than I would have cared to have but that may have been my fault not getting the skirt of the hood situated correctly. After the dive Greg and I hotfooted it up to the van and I helped Mr Freezy hands get out of his gear and we threw it haphazardly into the van and fled with heater roaring to the Chinese Buffet!
Unfortunately we have no pictures as Greg's camera went chest up on us.
