19 Mar 1988 | Lake Jindabyne | The flooded town of Jindabyne | Snowy Mountains | Australia | 16 | 35 | 35 | Iain Hosking, Cathy Humphries | The weekend's diving was organised by out local dive shop, Scuba Warehouse, and it included accommodation in caravans, water skiing and heavy drinking. Cathy and I survived this unusual introduction to Australian diving with only minor heatstroke. Visibility so-so, water green. Submerged trees were the highlight of this dive but we also found the remains of a house and a bottle dump. Altitude was 300m so the correction is ΒΌ of measured depth. In practice the dive ended due to a severe case of buoyancy. | 24lbs lead, hired BCD |
