jayfurrWe did our first Wednesday night dive shop charter tonight, going out on a dive to an old wreck in 40 feet of water out beyond the breakwater in Burlington Harbor. There are archaeologically-significant wrecks here and there on the bottom of Lake Champlain, but by far the easiest to get to and closest to the dive shop is the General Butler, a 130-year-old sunken canal schooner. We've missed chance after chance to go out on a dive and finally managed to make one tonight.
Nice dive. The water was in the high 60-degree range and I wore only a 3 mil/2 mil wet suit, no hood, no gloves, and felt comfy. I still need to work on going through my air more slowly, but I still managed about 30 minutes of underwater time.
