Roubidoux Nov 6, 2010

Great conditions still at Roubidoux Springs. 20+ ft. vis and very low flow. 59 F water temp.

Buddy Jim and I set out with Trimix backgas and bottom stage, along with 2 deco gases, to make it to the Big Room. Turned the dive just 100 ft. short of the goal, honoring the weak flow that was not going to help push us back out once the dive was turned. Total run time of 84 minutes, 1300 ft. penetration, much of it at 145 ft. depth. Very nice dive with no problems or surprises. :-)

Topside socialized with our friends MichaelAngelo, Mike & Mike, and Brett with his crew of Cavern students. Then a delicious lunch at Sweet Water BBQ.

Glad y'all had a good time. Sorry that I wasn't able to make it but instead spent the day finishing my new roof.

Great day of diving. Nice group at the site. Was nice to see old friends and make some new acquaintances. Flow was low, vis was great and weather was gorgeous. Thanks for the dive, Bill.

Glad to hear the house is coming along. Joan I and I were talking about coming down to the lake with the trailer next weekend to see what was going on. And here you are running off to Paradise!
