Lac Lavon in Apple Valley?

[DiverQueen]

PilotC150 and I did a couple dives on Lac Lavon 7/15/09.  Vis was about 5-7 ft.  There was an instructor from New Prague and his student doing dives as well.  Anyone know an instructor from New Prague (not affiliated with a shop) with a British Accent?  I didn't know him either. 

The fish were out in full force...Crappies, bluegills, small bass.  Fisherpersons on shore were asking if we saw any Northern...Not a one to be seen.  One fisherman asked us to retrieve a bobber that had gotten away from his kids. 

The weather was about as perfect as it could have been.  Sunny and warm, but not so hot as to get overheated.  The rainstorms we were forcast for the day before went up to the Brainerd area instead, so no washout of the shoreline!  Even though it wasn't going to get "Dark" for a couple more hours, we used our dive lights to see things better in the water and to be able to see each other if we got separated in the 7' vis.

Only found one fishing lure, and that treble hooked leader I almost stepped on at the shore!  Glad I found it before a barefooted child did!  :o  Also, we found several lids from worm containers, a pop can and other debris (long red stick from a bottle rocket!) most of which we picked up and tossed in the trash!

One fellow on a bicycle stopped to chat about the bottom structure and how it looked from his buddy's "AquaView" Camera system.  Folks seemed pretty receptive to seeing divers out here!  ;D
