I would come down from Boston for that if you guys will have me, especially in the last week of Jan.

debersole · 7th December 2007, 16:14

I'm interested but it would need to be a weekend for me and I'm on call the last weekend in January (Jan 25-27). Any other weekend would be fine with me.

I'm only available on the 13th, but would love to dive that day. I realize this complicates things...

I'm willing to go as a standby for the 13th only if you want to reserve spaces for people diving all three days first.

I'm definitely interested in this, but I can't give anything close to a solid yes just yet. I'll keep an eye on this thread and see what shakes out with spots and the boat(s?) as it gets closer.
