Wazee - Sept 27th and 28th.

[tcjtn0]

Chad (Chadwick) and I went and did a dive on Saturday at Wazee. (Not Sherwood and not the wall access). Water temp was about 62 degrees but the air and wind was FREEZING!!!! Viz was not too bad...About 20-25 feet. (Yes , stayed above the thermocline). Sunday we went and dove the Wall. Viz was a little better there. I could still see the surface 25 feet down. The thermocline is retreating (seems like it). We hit it at 38-39 feet on both dives.
We got to watch a freediver in action!!! He was so smoothe in the water. We just sat at 25 feet and watched the show. I think I even applauded when he went back up to the surface. Super nice guy too. Makes you kind of want to give up the SCUBA...NOT!!!

All in all , good diving but nasty cold weather. BRRR!!!

And of course , thanks to Chad for diving both days. He got to place a rock on the Rock Pile by the wall so that makes him "officially" Wazee'd. 8)

P.S. We had a discussion with a couple of divers on Sunday about the gazing ball being removed. The sentiment was pretty much the same as you have been discussing!!! I.E. Why did it have to go???
But hey , someone put a float with "Barney" on the end of it at the bottom of the wall. I guess it was time to start restocking things. We left Barney there to continue his off-gassing. :
