That's awesome, i've been thinking about a freshwater dive. Have you heard of Pavillion Lake between Cache Creek and Lillooet? It has large microbial carbonate rock structures call microbialites(almost coral like), some of the first organisms to inhabit the earth!! It would be cool to dive that but, it's deep and I think you need a special permit to do so. Pretty sweet, look it up if you don't already know. Anyways, the vis was a good 100 ft.+ when I dove off the Molokini Crater, Hawaii. Pretty cool down 110 ft., Blue throat triggers, Potters angels, male Psychedelic wrasse and harem...sweeet!!

I have heard of that freshwater lake - saw a tv show about it - kinda crazy stuff.

I would love to dive in Hawaii...

I would be interested as long as you don't mind having a novice along. Less the 20 dives here. Have almost all my gear missing my tanks. would love to get out though.

Sounds great but don't worry I'm no pro - about 80 logged dives.

I wish I had more tanks so I could lend you 2. If you need anything else let me know.

I'm not sure how long the murky conditions are gonna be around but we'll try to get a group dive setup in the next 2-4 weeks.

PM me your contact info.
