SUMMARY POSTED BY JEFFREY GALLANT (GEERG) ON TUESDAY SEPT 22 AT 02:00 AM.

We did two dives in Baie-Saint-Pancrace today. Water temperature still hovered around the freezing point at 1.5°C (34F). Underwater visibility (10 m / 33 ft) and ambient light made for good observation conditions but no shark was seen. The mystery continues. We will attempt one last outing tomorrow.
