Nice Cool Day for a Dive in Maine

[coldwater diver]

Went for a dive in one of my favorite winter sites. Its still chilly here but as long as you got the right gear its warmer under water getting out and getting in is the hard part. This particular site has a bridge and working waterfront going back to the late 1600's (bridge 1760's ish). In the summer you can spear flounder and look for bottles and artifacts and get an oyster or two in cold winter months. Today was blowing major whitecaps down river making it about 10-20 degrees. Water temp was better at 30 degress. Once you start working w the current you actually warm up.(quick backround for those that think it might be crazy to dive in winter). Found a few oysters for dinner, a cool Maine milk(not sure of town yet i have to clean) it could be Biddeford., Pyro Biddeford soda, Old fishing weights, nice old tranfer lid, hock wine, and a Dundee. Good dive 27ft max, 76min. Come on spring!

You're out of your mind. I left Portland ME this afternoon for a 5-hour drive south and couldn't believe how brutal the wind was.

Im not that tough I just have the right gear, no boats(except a lobster boat or two) or fishermen this time of year. Dcravosa the wind really dies down under water[], and it very rarely rains.

RCO, Spring is coming! (As I watch the snow fall) If your interested in it let me know, I like to collect early meds, and new england early glass I bring all that to the show in Dover to sell. For you Milk guys the milk is from Sanford Maine if there is interest.

Looks like you had fun my friend, I bought back my regulators, BC and tank rack, working on the other stuff over the next couple of weeks...I'm picking up my serviced regulators from Donny Stevens next week, see you on the bottom in 2015 and may the best man find the most glass...lol
