Water Type: Fresh
Entry Type: Shore
First time to Mermet, and I loved it. The staff are the nicest people you’ll ever find at a dive shop. Water was COLD below 15 ft. The thermometer on the 727 read 42 degrees and it felt it. A drysuit is necessary unless you’re part polar bear. Very neat site, lots to see, and diving the wall in limited visibility is a trip.
