megateeth Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) 01/12/10 - Like most of the East coast we have had a cold spell lately. This is the first day it has been over 50. I wore an old hood and my face froze. All I can compare it to is laying in a snowbank for almost an hour. You may be wearing a coat and hat but it still is really cold. The temp was 39 on the surface and 38 on the bottom. It was the coolest I have seen the water in over ten years of diving near Savannah. It reminded me of my ice diving days in PA. I found quite a few teeth though. The nicest were a 4" Meg and a 2.9" Mako. 01/13/10 - I wore a better hood and was not nearly as cold. The water was 40 on the bottom. I found some really nice teeth. The largest in the center photo is over 5.5" and the other Meg is 4.25". The lower Mako is 2.25". The visibility was incredible. With my light I could see over 2 feet. It was about as good as I have seen it here. I would trade the vis for warmer water. I stayed down over an hour and was pretty cold when I surfaced. 01/15/10 - The current was pretty strong today and I had trouble staying in one place. I did pretty good and found a 3.75" Meg and a 2-1/8" hemi. I do not ever remember finding a larger hemi so it was a really good dive.

barefootgirl Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Your killing me!! Those are gorgeous and you are a very brave soul to be going diving in water that cold. You definitely deserve those teeth. :bow::bow::bow: In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.

patrick hendriks Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Everytime I see your pictures it's breahttaking. What a wonderfull teeth do you find. But still you're also a hard one to be out in the water with these temperatures. But the finds make worth the effort. Keep showing your pictures Greetings Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
