Notes: | COMPUTER FAIL! Data are estimates For Mark's 9th and my 199th dive, we drive down the St Lawrence the Rothesay, a site I expected to be familiar to me and simple for him. I had read that the line was hidden but figured we'd have an easy enough time orienting ourselves and finding it. We managed to swim about a third of the way to the wreck on the surface and a short distance further on the bottom before Mark thankfully found it. The wreck was in good shape, and we found a few bass and a muskie at the stern. We also found the line back but in ended abruptly without getting close to shore. No wonder navigating out was so challenging! Packing up, I found an epic note on my windshield from someone who admired my new car but did not approve of my parking job! Mark and I had lunch in Kingston - another Reuben for me! | ||||

| Depth 40ft | Visibility good | Time 36m | Water temp 14°C | Ending pressure 2100psi | |
Notes: | Having postponed our dive from a couple days earlier because of weather, Mark and I joined up on Friday afternoon to make use of the new gear he's picked up it Dive Tech and have another easy shore dive. We found the pipes, found the line, the anchor, the chair and followed the "Stacked Hulls" line until we both started getting cold. We had both gone for a 7mm suit only (ie without second layer), and had worn hats instead of hoods. I have still never made it all the way to the Stacked Hulls, but it was a successful fun dive! | ||||
