Team Observations/Comments: Today the Project Baseline Staff, tabled at Sand Harbor and discussed with over 50 divers the efforts going on in Tahoe. It was extremely productive and we had several divers report that our depth benchmark was still at 22′, their gauges varied by plus or minus 2 feet, temp was 68 on our depth benchmark and that the visibility was at or better than 50 feet during the first dive. This was an abnormally warm, calm October day surrounded by some rain storms earlier in the week but for the most part, very calm atmosphere from Thursday thru this day which was Sunday.
