Has anyone dove Minnetonka yet this spring? What has the vis been like? Where on Tonka did you dive?

We would have but did not know where to enter.

I think I'm going to go out the next weekend that it's nice and check out the vis. I have a 16 foot v-bottom boat ready to dive from.

PM me, if anyone might want to go. I was thinking of heading to the big island first.

Are you going to be diving this Saturday at Minnetonka? My dive buddy and I might be interested.

I might, depending on the weather. They are saying it is suppose to be partly cloudy. If I were to go out this Saturday, it would have to be late in the afternoon. I can only fit three at the most in my boat. My boat is a smaller 16 foot. It is not a large deep v, like a lund or alumicraft.

FYI, the best area I have found to get into Minnetonka is the park right next to Maynards. Plenty of stuff to find and it drops 20 to 30' without a terrible swim. Bring plenty of quarters for the parking meters. Meter Maids are there at the very instant the meter expires. If you plan to go on a weekend, go before noon or you're really asking for trouble with all the boats-Jeff

I plan on landing my boat at Carson's Bay landing. Depending on the wind direction, and weather conditions, plans of going to the island might change. I won't know until Friday night, or Saturday.

We dove Mtka a week ago on the sidewheeler south of Gale Island.
It was crap viz - about 3 ft.
Made the wreck an interesting experience - can't see much at one time.

dove around big island today... vis about 4-6 feet, possibly more but it was getting dark when we were there.
