Phillip's Quarry - Muncie, IN

A group of us enjoyed a short dive at Phillip's on 6/27.

The day started out nice. Got into the water around 1:20 PM, and I noted a surface temp of 90 with a quick drop at 15-feet. Couldn't see my thermometer very well so I don't know how much that drop was. I wore a 2.5-mil so didn't go below 18-feet.

Visibility was 15 - 20-feet. Lots of algae patches that shined bright green where the sun hit them.

After 30-minutes of picture taking I ran out of film, surfaced to reload the camera, and heard thunder. A look toward the west gave evidence that a big storm was rolling in fast.

As we gathered for lunch the rain started heavy, and some lightning lit the sky.

By the time we finished lunch the sky was clearing, and the rain slowed to sprinkles, but I decided not to reload the camera for another round anyway.
