Looking for a buddy to dive pearl lake on the 5th or if someone would like to dive Haigh Quarry on july 6th that would work also.  Just looking to make a couple morning dives, or maybe three.

I'd be game for some dives at Pearl on the 5th.  Wife and kids are going to be out of town, so I could defintiely use the distraction.

That sounds great.  I will be in the Dixon area for vacation visiting family, I could plan on being at the lake around 9am on the 5th.?  would that be a good time for you?

That works for me.  Email me at todd@mentalwhiplash.com and I'll give you my phone number.  We can work out the logistics then.  It's  on my calendar so consider it good to go!

I'll also let you know how the lake looks.  My 14 y/o daughter is doing her open water check dives there this weekend, so I'm going to do a couple dives.

Great!  I have a son trying to get through his open water manual, but he his 11 yrs old, may be a little young yet, but we will see.  I will email you some time this weekend, my email is stuartparker@comcast.net  I am looking forward to diving the lake.  My wife and her family will be hanging out around the beach area, so I guess we will be making a day of it at Pearl Lake.  Thanks.

I don't know if you've checked Pearl Lake's web site, but they have a nice swimming area for the family, cantina for snacks, etc.  I'll email you Sunday after we dive and let you know how it looks.
