Several members of the A.L.U.R.T. team couldn't wait to get into the 30 degree water of Goguac Lake and test their skills. The team cut a triangle shape into the ice with a chain saw. The team then went for a winter dip in the lake. Separation from diving buddies, safety line or hole in the ice. Summer months, muck and sediment are stirred by waves, wind and boats causing poor visibility.
Ice acts like a sun magnifier lighting up the depths of the water.
