Edersee

This is a belated post, by over a week, of diving Edersee. I spent Saturday June 30th, and did two dives. In the morning, I targeted the bridge, did not pay much attention, but failed and ened up somewhere on the plateau. The second dive was for fish watching in the shallows, later in the afternoon. I did only see miniature pike, but large schools of well-sized bass.
I used Ulf's semi-dry Oceanic suit, 7mm with gas-proof zipper, and stayed tasty warm. Most other equipment was actually my own, which I had given to Horst before I moved to HK.
So overall, the dives were not very eventful.
BUT, it was fucking amazing to be back in Edersee. The black sweet-water feels so much like home to me. Already its aroma makes me cry.
It was really too sad to see the place, knowing that Horst will close down his mobile station next year. His entire operation is set-up so carefully. Its a shame to see it disappear. However, the people who benefited (socially) over the past years have sort of turned away and tend their problems elsewhere, and the competition is too well funded and selling under price.
