well made it back into the water today. I went with some people I know. A couple of us went diving, while the others decided to go fishing. It was just a practice dive more than anything. We were all relatively new divers, me being the newest.The plan was just to dive at 20-25 foot range and work on some basic skills. However the part of the Lake we were diving in was pretty littered with downed trees so we moved out a bit deeper to avoid getting hung up on anything.
Had two firsts today. one being the the first time I ever tried navigating by compass, The second was diving while towing a dive marker along behind me.
Also hit a thermocline which was a shock to the system. The temperature dropped about15 degrees in 2 feet. It got real cold real fast. I should have wore a hood. Next time for sure.
Other than that I saw a lot of fish, Now I know why my other friends wanted to go there.
