Re: Lake Calhoun
Calhoun was my first Real Open Water dive after certification.  Very cloudy in late August...Bring a Light!  I believe we were at Thomas Beach (bring quarters for the parking meters) on a "Tuesday Night Fun Dive"  through Smith Diving.  They alternate between Square Lake and Calhoun.  I was paired up with another diver since I didn't register with a buddy.  He was navagationally challenged!!!  We tried to go out past the weedline and drop down to 20 feet and swim to a sunken island that I saw in my "Twin Cities area Fishing Maps" book.  I thought we were coming up on the island but we were just returning to the shore weedline...Surfaced, got compass heading...came around in a circle again!  Still had fun,  saw a huge steel wheel and the pockmarked clay slope.  I kept looking up to make sure no one was above me, I think it was shadows of planes overhead.
My name is Lisa and I'm a SCUBAholic. It's been toooo long since my last dive!
