Another good dive

So I was not active on here yesterday at all since my son and I went diving and spent the day just relaxing afterwards.
We got to the dive place about 10 am and it was nice weather for it. Sunny and not to hot out. We ended up only making one long dive, that lasted 53 minutes under water.
We seen quite a few bluegill and a few bass while we checked out a couple boats and a box truck that were under there. The water was a nice 74 F at about 20 feet deep. The deepest I went was 24 feet deep where the thermocline was and the temp dropped down to 65 F. Not wearing a hood or gloves it was a little chilly at that point.
We might try and go one more time this season, but that all depends on the weather over the next couple weeks.

@LadyDuck LOL, yea, then I guess diving would not be for you. It's not for everyone that is for sure. I had a friend who was going to try it and found that she couldn't even get in the pool and go under water with the mask and snorkel. She was just really freaked out about the mask and trying to breath only through her mouth.

It sounds cool, I would like to learn to scuba. Do you have your own equipment or do you rent?

I need to try this once before I die... on the bucket list.

I think diving would make me claustrophobic if that makes sense. It does sound like a good hobby for the two of you, though.

yes some people say it does make them feel that way. your vision is limited by the mask and depending on how clear the water is too. We did go once in a lake that the visibility was so bad you could barely see your had when you stretched out your arm. We couldn't even see each other most of the time.

Glad you enjoyed the day with your son. That is something I wouldn't be able to do since I am not a good swimmer.

I've never learned to dive, but I'd love to know how! It's great that you and your son enjoyed doing this, together:)

@kobesbuddy Well you don't have to be a good swimmer, just comfortable in the water and well know how to stay afloat for 10 minutes in a pool.

that sounds like so much fun! I've been snorkeling but never scuba diving. sometimes I like to watch diving videos on YouTube, it's very relaxing under the water :)
I hope the weather works out so you can go again
