Depth 61ft	Visibility good	Time 48m	Water temp 23°C	Ending pressure 900psi
Notes:	I hadn't been particularly chuffed about doing a "scavenging" dive": I don't really have any interest in changing dive sites or bringing home souvenirs. Nevertheless, the site at Singer Castle is a good one for this. With proximity to the Canadian border, and having been used for rum running during the prohibition, there are plenty of bottles to be found. A few of our fellow dives returned with artifacts. Jean-Yves and I took a leisurely swim up current, and while we didn't find any collectibles, we were the only divers in our group who spotted what appeared to be a metre long muskellunge. There were also plenty of bass and a big carp (more of those would follow on the third dive of the day). The dive finished with a free ascent and a reference free 15ft safety stop, which was good practice.
