It was a perfect day for dving there was no wind at all. Usually at the boat ramps there is a brisk wind. Earlier in the week the canal had white caps on it...

There was no wind at all so even though it was cold it wasn't that bad with zero wind chill.

So it appears everything is pretty much iced over, dang running out of places to dive...this really sucks...

Rob it just means you have to get overhead trained

With the line work we've done at the scuba park and with overhead training it's a great place to dive all winter long!

Ya the wind chill is what gets you for sure. Sounds like you were the smart ones in your group. No wind under water
