Comments	Westhawk Lake is a fresh water meteor crater lake near the Manitoba Ontario boarder. The dive site in this report is a training area that has been designated and marked off with buoys to ensure no boat traffic. Visibility is 20 to 25 feet early in the year. The bottom is silty and is stirred up quite easily. There are a few fish, primarily Burbot and Bass. Water temperatures are 50 at the surface and 38 below the thermocline mid year. The thermocline sits at about 30 feet mid year as well. Depths of 130 feet are obtainable, but most of the site ranges from 15 to 80 feet.

The three star rating is for the dive site, not the dive shop. I give the Divercity SCUBA operation 5 stars. Rick Howard.
