Would it be ok to bring a covered dish also...just in case Bill burns the burgers? May be a good diver but I dont know about his cooking. Besides it would be nice just to chip in something different. Hope to see many there from SD. Jocassee is a very clean lake and nice views to go with it. Looking forward to meeting new people and hope to see many there.

I will have you know I do pretty well with a grill. But I won't complain if there are a few covered item to fill in blanks. Things happen.
The temps at the lake are 81 degree surface, 66 degree at 60 ft. mid 50's at 130 ft and 40 degree at 200 ft. That should cover everyone's questions about temps. We had 20+ ft vis on Sat at 60 ft, but it fell off to 10-15ft on Sunday. Back up to 20 ft vis today at 60 foot. Go figure. We had about 40-50 foot vis at 130ft on Sunday and the same at 200 ft. The lake is down about 7 ft below full pond. So you can go deeper without going deeper. :birthday:

Ok, Where is the form to register, or can I just say register me? Maybe I'm getting too old and just looked over the registration part. I need help! I just can't see a thing without my glasses. Hope to see a lot of people there. It is a very nice lake and dive location.

I fixed it! I added a running tally of who is planning to attend. I'd attend myself except that's a long way to go for a hamburger!
