Welland Canal Dive Number 117

Sunday, September 23 – 2007
13:00 – 13:30
Dive Number 117
Start: 13:00
Roads: Dry / clear
Visibility: 24km
Temp: +25C
Water Temp: +20C
Area: Welland Canal – Port Robinson
Vehicle: Black Sunfire
Weather: Clear and Sunny
Visibility: ½ m
Divers: Wolf, Chuck
Dive Wench(es): Tori
Maximum Depth: 6m
Plan: Try exploring this location again

We parked Chucks car by E.S. Fox in Port Robinson and the large boat ramp. This is the second attempt at diving this location. We kitted up and entered the canal. Bisibility near the shore was very good. As we descended to 6m, the visibility dropped to less than ½ metre. There was a bad algae plume here and we decided to abort the dive again. Perhaps when the water is very cold later in the year we can try again. My aga mask still has the small leak in the forehead.
