Andrew wants to; but, I'm uncertain if there are any lakes with enough water in them after DWR drained them the past couple of years.

Feels like polar bear diving in our pool; must be down to 75 degrees!!! We bought lycra dive skins and neoprene shorts and vests to compensate. Must be too cold even for them polar bears, though; haven't seen a single one.

Andrew's first boat dive: 1-1-15 .... vis was like two feet; so, no underwater photos to share. Going shopping and when I get home; but, if photobucket works, I'll share a couple of photos when I get home.
Polar Bears would cook in the water we was in ... it was like 59 degrees hot !!!

The Polar Dip in Sitka was the 20th of December. I usually stand by with the public safety dive team. Wearing a drysuit seems more fun to me - you can see our dive team in the background of a few of these shots. rich.mcclear.net/2014/12/20/sitka-polar-dip-2/ |

Is this a club event or was it open to the community? Did you get any underwater shots of the Hydro Twin II in action? |

Robert, I hope you told that young diver it's a good idea to have the hoses at least in position over his shoulders (like this  ) before venting the air from his BC.  |

Gosh I need more sleep!
