It looks like Clay, DivingCRNA, and I will be headed back down to dive the bridge again on the 20th. Anyone else planning on diving that day?

Well, we made some upgrades to the boat today and are planning on heading out at about 0500 tomorrow morning. Sounds like the weather may even work with us this time. We are thinking of doing a dive on the bridge, then maybe one on the Zeb.

Sorry it has taken so long to reply. We made some stronger benches for the doubles, with higher backrests.
The dive was great! We hooked the line from the new bridge and followed it to the old one. Clay went down and tied in after having a little battle of his own getting the hook to a good place to tie in (I will let him tell that part of the story!). CRNA and I went down the line and looked around the bridge, then got to ring the bell. Was a very nice dive with minimal deco. CRNA and I unhooked on our way up, completed our deco, and re boarded the boat.
Vis was around 10' or so. Maybe 15' in a couple of places. Temps were upper 40's, if I remember correctly.
We only did the one dive due to weather and time, but I want to dive the Zeb. Maybe on the next trip.

I would be interested to know what the vis is like on the Zeb right now. It is never really great. At least not that I have seen. If the lake is about to flip it might be pretty nasty down there. Although that can make that dive a little more fun. It is kind of creepy looking with the boat appearing out of the muck....

I bet that is kinda creepy looking! I am excited to do the dive. Hopefully before too long.
