Could we pick another lake that doesn't have poor weather? Mark's thinking fashion show with his slightly colder outfit from prior week. Jeff doesn't care about a little rain John and Tom are set for foul weather Time to get ready Paul is thrilled, but look what he had to look at on the left :) Pete is so excited to go with John again, like sucking a lemon wedge Another good haul of treasures Another snow plow, but this one isn't all stainless, Pete did have to say something

Weather appeared to be a bit questionable for the nights diving Would that stop our observer? NOPE! Pete, Paul, John Roger, Tom & Jeff and who has the nose bleed seat? Mark of course Storm seemed to pass right over us on the drive for dive, weather was built for a Duck of course The good thing of going just after the severe storms and tornado was the lake was very cleared off and we could pretty much pick any spot we wanted to dive in ;) Some people just had to go potty befo

Robert became full instructor!!!

Pete needed his buddy to pull the lost anchors ;) Clear night on the lake without any traffic Boys were off Tom was intrigued to come along Pete, Mark, Roger, Kevin, Paul, Jeff & John Paul was excited his little buddy was back Yup, more float bags needed for the anchor haul #2 from Delavan not quite as many as 2 weeks ago, but still very good haul in a few nice poles Kevin was happy to go along and found a few bottles Just a good time and everyone enjoyed the company

At the launch it appeared to be a bit mucky and green, maybe signs to come? Another packed truck and the naked thing again. 7 Divers Jeff, Pete, Paul, Roger, Kevin, Mark & John. Tom came along to make sure we didn't get into any trouble above, or below the water. Loaded in easily enough Looked to be clear and low traffic Before After Not sure I needed to see that, but you know Jeff's camera shy. Divers went out and Pete did a solo marathon route, the other 2 groups followed

Needed the lift bag for Anchors Away and up to the float That "dirt" ground does not look so good, hope it doesn't cause any problems later... Unhooked the trailer straps, thanks buddy Pete, Paul, Mark, Jeff & John off to dive on Lake Delavan Something to be said about the shyness of divers, well maybe that there isn't any Ok that is better all dressed, but who is going to dive with whom? John volunteered to go with Paul, who doesn't drop anything Pete wanted to go alone, hop

Captain Kevin and Nicole were celebrating big time. They got engaged, which was a very BIG deal! Congrats! Stillwater Diving has the Drones, right there and presented to a full room. So interesting that we had a guy show up all the way from Florida to hear the updates! Not sure you can top that announcement, Jeff was so excited from prior night he would not let Pete go. Unsure if it was the engagement or the underwater drone talk. BTW if anyone is interested in the cool n

Weather was still cool, but the adventure was just starting. Paul, Jeff, Mark drew straws for who had to go with John...Jeff lost, but John does find stuff you know ;) Paul found a round bottom bottle for his little buddy Tom, maybe he will come along diving soon. Pete had to dive along again, I hope he doesn't get scared! A few toys under those waters were uncovered. A few hutches were the best finds and Jeff got them all!

Think you could put your truck & trailer through that tight spot? Not a problem for Pete! Boys in back wern't too nervous Mark wasn't either, Pete was concentrating for sure We made it to the lauch, just a bit of a tight squeeze. Yeah Captain Kevin joined us, but where was his chick? Couldn't have been due the weather? Well maybe that was it. We followed the rain out onto the waters. Oh Kevin was texting Nicole that all was well. Yup all smiles from him. Mark was a bit

Weather started warming up, 6 boys were going diving on Pewaukee. Pete, Mark, Paul, Roger, John & Jeff Pete and John had to test the boat out, so they did a double dive earlier in day was the 1st Pete found a nice "Pike Pole" used for harvesting ice to save food for the starving people of the world. You don't believe the blog master? Check it out (maybe Jeff will do a dive report on it): https://woodsholemuseum.org/icehouse/tools.html Jeff was excited for the heat, can't r

Jeff was sporting the Hawaii look, but the temperatures were NOT quite the same. Thanks to Pete for lending the helping hand, or pinch in this case. Well the plans were made the prior night at our favorite brewery - Water Street Brewery Just after our Dive meeting, which was at Stillwater Diving LLC in Delafield A little bit of a turnout - post meeting Served by our favorite waitress Pete was very excited, gets to dive with John ;) John and Tom were ready, but only 1 person

Paul's new Shark mask Pete, Roger, Jeff, Mark, Paul & John ventured to the depths on Lower Genesee for treasures Weather was very windy and by the time Jeff and John showed up, Pete was already heading back to shore, so no dive track for him. BTW his float was flipped before he found the anchor. Visibility was a good 15 feet, but the water was still cold. Considering how many dives we have been out on the lake, there was only one area that needed to be investigated by Jeff

Someone has a very small bladder, but I'm not mentioning who. A good dive considering it was only 41 degrees and 2 divers got to the other lake Big finds for sure, from Mark. Poor Pete and John had to go through the very LARGE muck cloud from him & Jeff. How bad was it? Well John ended up on the East side of the lake and Pete his buddy was on the west. Cool Medicine bottle Pete made some very good eats, looks like all 3 ate to a food coma Paul was describing the bottle tha

More Drinking than Diving it appears Only divers were Pete, Roger Mark & John John's finds Pete's finds Mark's finds The Lake was cold, water temp was 39 and a bit of wind didn't help, vis about 3 feet :) Bar was a much better choice, where Jeff and crew waited patiently for us :) Still a fun dive, wonder who gets to keep the spoon?

Jeff and Paul were loving the last (maybe) ice dive of the year, notice boots to right of Paul? Trailer is connected to a "new" hitch and ready to go. Just needed some welding improvements. Even had visitors of Rhonda, Brian & John (notice the ice at shore) Hole looked good, but definetly no trailer out there today Mark and Paul were ready, not sure about other 2 That doesn't quite look safe, but who am I to judge? I know what I would use if I had to go out there, better saf

It's that time of year again to get together and rehash the 2025 diving year.

Any award ideas should be directed to Jeff Gavin. Hope to see you all there!

Jeff was ready to go in his sexy shorts Not too crowded Not sure if that's a legitimate measurement.But you never know it answered the question Mark was hanging on for dear life Roger was doing stubby finger Pete's job. Roger did "forget" to tell John what lake we were heading off to. So I was a little late. Roger was first to go in, visibility was almost 3 inches Don't you need a hitch for that? Well it was there at the start. Fell off on way out. Guess that's a good pl

Pete, Paul, Mark & Jeff went for the last dive of the year in some very cold waters Jeff took over for John on foot pictures after the dive. Yup, that looks cold. Warmed up afterwards in the trailer w Pete's new cooking items. A good time was had by all Poor Paul had to go with Pete and his marathon dive, but at least he came back with some air. Nice find Pete, that is so YOU Dive was great time, but don't forget the Dive meeting on 2nd Tuesday of the month. We did have our

Jeff was changing outside again sporting the new diving shorts Divers were Jeff, Pete, Mark and "observer" Roger ... did you forget something? Well at least we observed the posted signs I think the lake has been pretty covered with dives ... LOL Well look who is still on shore? What happened there Roger? An award in your future? Mark and Jeff were finding lots of treasures, Pete was already in other side of lake before they got wet. yes Pete ie Superman was on a mission, no

Jeff showing off his new dive shorts, Mark is loving it! Boat was pulled back for another dive John and Jeff were thrilled to dive together, hope that goes well. Pete was ecstatic to dive alone, I wonder if that could be lonely Paul got to dive with Mark and was very happy to do so. Dives were all new area, what treasures will appear? Poor Pete had to come over J & J's travels, what did he see? Apparently they were mucking just a bit. Not sure if I agree with that statement.
