Revisited a DPV dive in Lake Champlain that we haven't done since 2021 at the height of COVID-19.

Honestly, it's probably the most boring wreck in Lake Champlain but it's a fun scooter run. The Horse Ferry may not look like much but it's a pretty unique wreck. A ferry propelled by actual horses.

We scootered out to the Horse Ferry and then to the end of the water intake pipe from downtown Burlington waterfront. Visibility was very good in the shallows but a bit murky at depth on the wreck itself. Lots of fish at water intake pipe.

The really nice part is that because we were so shallow the water temperature was 60 degrees (~15c) for the entire dive with a max depth of 45ft (~14m). I am sure that temperature will start dropping rapidly soon but it felt pretty "tropical" today.

Total distance scootering is approximately 3.5miles (~5.7km) roundtrip with about a 2 hour runtime.

Video from yesterday's scallop dive off Gloucester, MA. The Insta360 camera makes the visibility look much better than it really was but we had decent conditions.

Good day of scalloping yesterday and playing with the Insta360. The visibility was about ~25ft but I think the camera makes the visibility look a lot better. Still learning the Insta360 but it's a cool little camera.
