Diving Lake Calhoun Wed. 8-12-09

[Terry]

I haven't dove in Lake Calhoun yet.  What is the vis like?  How deep is it?  Is there any debris on the bottom like there is in Square Lake?  How many feet down can you dive before you have to deco?  Thanks!  Michelle

              Hi Michelle!

                  What a nice nite to dive tonight was. Lots of curious people, stopped to ask (sometimes intelligent) questions, even the two guys who asked (as Hydro and I we stood against the breakwall,,, fully suited up), "are you guys, scubadiving"? and I had to say, "no were just standing around all dressed in black in the sun and 90 degrees just to see how hot we can get".  Lake Calhoun is a max of 82' deep, Joe and I got to 45', pretty dark, to go much further, (but we werent afraid!) water hit the low 50s, (but we werent cold) some kid asked if we could bring up his rod and reel lost from the dock, (but we could'nt find it) and as we got out, a CONSTANT steam of delightfully attractive women on the sidewalk (but we didnt, oggle any of them) well, I didnt anyway.
                Vis was 5', nothing but cans and bottles, ohhh and a cool Muskie bait, under the dock I found a flashlight and bike lock ohhh and a two foot tiger Muskie, (wheres the pink stiff one when I needed it!) We'll hit another lake middle of next week so stay tuned!    T
