Well after reading through what info I could find on diving at Lake Martin I was a little apprehensive about the trip this past weekend. Not to worry though we had an outstanding time. Vis was decent (approx 10-15ft down to about 60ft), water temp was great (in the mid 60s down to the thermocline at around 60ft, a bit cooler after that), and the weather held up (for Saturday at least). We made several dives around Acapulco Rock (sometimes confused with Chimney Rock) on both Saturday and Sunday. Had made plans to spearfish, but ended up not taking the guns. Came across a pretty big cabin cruiser there at the rock at about 60ft, hadn't read about that being there anywhere. Also saw what looked like an old shed there in the vicinity as well. A nice largemouth was hanging out under the eaves. We had a great time and look forward to doing it again in the future. As for wetsuits I was a little warm in the 7mm I brought up and my friend was a little cool in the 3mm he was wearing. Another friend had on a 5mm and that seemed to be just right. Hoods didn't feel as though they were necessary, but we all had them on.
