Johnny,


Sorry I was a flake over the weekend - I got your last email late on Sat and something else had come up for Sun.


If you’re still interested, I can dive next Sun: 7/25, and we can arrange it early. My email is clive.philpott [ at ] verizon.net and my mobile is 571 243 1396.


All the best,


Clive.

Hmm, I can’t dive this weekend or next, but perhaps I can go on the 1st or 2nd if anyone else is going.

I might want to dive on the 1st or 2nd at Millbrook. I’m very new and would like to just practice skills. But it’s contingent on getting wifely permission.

No worries, my equipment is just getting out of service so if anything I just want to take a nice, relaxed, casual dive and verify that everything is working as expected. Don’t plan on pushing any limits. If you could let me know by the end of this week, that would be great.

What was the vis/temp like on your last dive there? Never been there and found a video of it on youtube that looked a bit like pea soup.

10’ viz. at 30’ unless you kick up silt. Stay close to your buddy. Yellow fins are good.

Dove there last Sunday. Was down pretty deep - 67 ft - and it was chilly - 42 degrees, but around 30 ft, the temp was decent.


Vis wasn’t too great on Sunday, maybe 7-10 ft - definitely stay close to your buddy



Not sure if I can get out there this Sunday or not...may venture to the beach instead.

Hi. I’ll meet you at McD’s at 7:30. Let’s hope the thundershowers hold off.

Looks like I got my calendar mixed up with the month changing over. This weekend I’m actually doing a beach dive in Jersey. So that moves my next opportunity to dive at Millbrook to the 8th or 9th. I apologize for the confusion. 


42 degrees at 67 feet! That will be a good test for my 7mm.
