      “Tammy; Welcome to CSM. Come out to a monthly meeting while the water is frozen. We have interesting speakers, and it will let you get to know us and find out more about your diving experiences. Our local diving season generally opens around March or April. We meet most often at Haigh Quarry, but there are dive charters on the big lake also offered. Locally we dive 7mm suits or even some in 5mm suits. You can dive a 3mm if you stay above the thermocline, around 23 ffw. Again welcome”
