Another weekend at dutch springs. This time to complete the open water checkout dives for Allie and Joe.  The sky is looking scarry but the diving will be great.

Come back soon to see how they did with their dives and to congratulate them on a job well done at the end of the weekend.

If you are in the area come out and dive with us. LSC will have many divers here this weekend celebrating the first National women’s dive day.

Check out what a guy from Gloucester, MA found while flying his drone!

Basking Sharks are sometimes mistaken for Great Whites.

The basking shark is the second largest living fish, after the whale shark, and one of three plankton-eating sharks besides the whale shark and megamouth shark. It is a cosmopolitan migratory species, found in all the world’s temperate oceans.

What nice dives. The water at Dutch springs was not as clear as normal do to several days of hard rain but we still had over 25 feet of it. The first dive we explored along the student side hitting the platforms, fire truck and feeding the bass. After a nice 20 minute dive we headed up to complete the dive at 21 minutes. We hung out on the surface and debriefed, swaped out tanks and went over the use of the compass. After about a hour surface interval we geared up and headed in to do dive two. Once the skills were completed we hit the 50 foot boat and followed the wall around back to the docks. Completed dive 2 with a max depth of 50 feet and time of 22 minutes. Water at 50 feet was 45 degrees and at 20 about 54. Now we are enjoying a nice lunch at wegmans before the trip home.
