Table Rock Lake--Memorial Day Weekend

[theskull]

Will be diving Table Rock Lake all 3 days of this coming 3-day weekend. Anyone is welcome to join me.

Current conditions at Table Rock are 75 F at the surface, 64 F at 20 ft., 55 F at 30 ft.

I'll be staying at the Table Rock Inn, located between the Dewey Short Dam and the State Park Marina on St Rt 165 in Branson.

Will be doing some shore dives, some night dives, and most probably some boat dives.

If you wish to join in, you may just show up at the hotel and ask for me (the owners know me well), e-mail me in advance, or phone me.

Just got the good news from my favorite Branson dive buddy. Table Rock Lake turned over a week or so ago, but it has cleared up already. Vis is only 5-7 feet for the first 18 feet of depth, but below 18 feet it is now excellent!!

So if you join us this weekend, I WILL see you.

Would that be Slim?

Yep.

And actually I am not a very big Star Wars fan, but those movies did produce some decent quotable material.

I wont be able to make it down there for a few more weeks. Hopefully it will stay nice.

Table Rock Lake report for Memorial Day weekend. We had very good visibility starting at 28 ft., even better at 40 ft. and crystal clear water from 50 ft. down to 100+. It was pretty murky up in the warm water, but you can’t have everything. Water temps were 75 F at the surface, 70 F at 20 ft., 57 F at 40 ft., and 50 F below 60 ft. Saturday day dives and night dive were from shore at the dam, and Sunday dives were from the State Park Marina dive boat at Poverty Point, the highlight of which was a deep dive through the towering trees and twisted branches on the channel side of Poverty Point (very similar to the Enchanted Forest dive site on the lake).

I wish I could have been there to enjoy that. Needless to say, I didnt have that kind of depth or vis at Rolla.

We wish you could have been there, too. Rob was disappointed that he couldn't meet you. And the repetitive deep dives would have been good practice for using your new ubercomputer!

Had a pretty night dive, but only caught 1 lobster-sized crawdad. They were hiding.

Bill,
Had a great time diving with you. Glad we were able to do the deep dives. Hopefully I will be able to hook up with you for some more great diving later on this summer. Have to take a couple of weeks off and finish some jobs around the house. Hope to be diving again later on in June. Talk to you later.
