Hey, you think you're crazy, you should try Humber Bay, just off Toronto,
where some of us went diving last Saturday.  Viz measured in millimetres,
if that, with sort of a brown glow to the water in the first few feet and
solid black below that.  Much too much mud coming down the Humber with the
recent thaw and rain.  I had to bring my light to within three inches of
my mask to see the filament glowing.  The wind, coming straight in off
the lake, was cold enough to permanently take a brass monkey out of the
gene pool.

Sunday afternoon we went ice-diving up in Kempenfelt Bay.  Six foot viz,
the hole was close enough to the wreck of the Morrison, and it was really
peaceful by myself under the ice and it didn't feel cold at all.
