    It beats being dry, but you have to keep an eye out for rocks, and other obstructions, as you won't see them until you are right upon them. I have also heard stories about divers swimming into caves without knowing it.

    The only aquatic life I have seen in the lake is 1 catfish, under a rock, and 1 tiny, little fish I assume to be a bluegill. I am suprised that I haven't seen more fish. People are always fishing the lake, but I anything to catch. Kinda' makes me laugh.

    Speaking of fishing, one of the things that bothers me most is the fact that when I surface, there is often a boat very nearby, with people fishing from it. It they either have no idea what the "diver down" flag on our float means, or they just don't care. I assume it's the former. I haven't been hooked yet, but it could easily happen.
