Labor Day Rawlings

This Labor day I took a trip with Rich and Christie to Lake Rawlings to get some dives in and then end the day with the classic, and always favorite, dinner at Hooters in Chester, Virginia.  Those girls are pretty!!!   We did two dives (2 hours and 40 minutes total):

1. Dive 1:
   
   
   
   • Bottom time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
   
   
   
   
   
   
   • Bottom temp: 55 F / 13 C
   
   
   • Weather: Raining
   
   
   • Summary:  We saw a missile looking bomb toward the back side of the lake.  This was the first time we encountered this object in this lake, so it was a surprise.  I also found a snorkel at the deepest part of the lake (67 ft / 20.5 m).
   
   
   • Exposure: Dry suit
   
   
   
   


2. Dive 2:
   
   
   
   • Bottom time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
   
   
   • Bottom temp: 55 F / 13 C
   
   
   • Weather: Raining
   
   
   • Summary:  We found the missile/bomb again by coincidence.   We also found a pile of fallen rocks that formed a small little cave where it was really cool to see our exhaust bubbles rush through a funnel type hole deep in the rocks.
