Anyone still diving?

Just wondering if anyone from the lake is still diving this time of year?

I saw Tom form the dive shop diving last Saturday; he was re-working the deep-water bubblers at the docks next door... Was it cold? You ask, not as cold as the air. This is not the time of the year you dive for fun, it's a time you dive for the money, sometimes the job just has to get done. For me, this time of the year my time is taken up by more urgent needs which pays a lot more, even though I have lots of underwater work that still needs to be done but if will have to wait for another time.

I wished I was out there with Tom last weekend, but I had my job cut out for me covering the boat for the winter… Ya, that was a joke (shouldn't have waited so long) when I got up to the boat there was over a foot of snow to shovel off before I could start the covering. Some how ice diving seemed a lot more inviting then shoveling snow 12 feet up on the deck.

We dove the Poling last week, air was 28* water at 85' was 45*.
Going again 12/17/05 and that will be it for '05
Can't wait for the ice dives.
