Default diving

Hey congrats on your certification. Being spoiled living on the left/wet coast I have done a number of lake dives, trust me, lake dives are boring, unless it's a wreck dive. In my opinion you will probably forget your lake dives after you dive in the big salt. If you ever get out to the coast try and get in touch with some of us divers on Canreef and maybe we can line up a group day/night dive. I love night dives. Very envious of the dive trip you have planned.
Good luck.
Keith.
