Great to hear, Chris! I'll be calling you shortly. I need a Keys fix this coming week while I'm off.

BTW, the wreck fest link isn't working in your signature line.

Eric

Yeah, the server got hacked. Its up and running again now though.

BTW, I have 3 Rebreather manufacturers exhibiting at wreckfest so far. I cant wait to try 'em all out!

I hear that manatee tastes a lot like bald eagle. Looking forward to finding out for myself.

So, it's no longer a GUE/DIR kumbya lovefest...?

So who is going to be diving what in Key Largo over the weekend of the 18-20th? I'm going to be down there that weekend with a couple of friends and would love to hook up with you guys for a couple dives.

Chris,

I will be meeting up with John (jsdesign97) in Ft. Lauderdale on the afternoon of Thursday the 17th and we'll be driving down to the Keys together. We plan on meeting up with Richie (diverreb) and Steve (dvrstev) and diving Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It looks like we'll be doing most of our diving with Conch Republic Divers, but there's a chance we may get a dive in with Silent World, but I'm not sure of all the specific details yet. There's a tentative plan that Richie posted for Saturday and Sunday at the beginning of this thread.

We'd love to have you join us down there for some diving! If you'd like to PM me, either now or closer to the trip, I'd be happy to give you my cell phone number, that way if you want to touch base with me over there and see what we're up to, that might work.

Here's the new plan...

Dive Center: Conch Republic Divers
Double Dips.....
Saturday:
1:00 PM Dive - Spiegel Grove All Afternoon
Option of one long dive or two shorter ones.
Cost $65.00 Per person

Hey Richie: Is this still the plan for Saturday?

I am trying to get my crap together and make it for this dive if there is still room on the boat.

Still the plan, with a Double Dip on the Eagle on Sunday afternoon.

Morning dives are also available, but they are Wreck/Reef dives.

Friday is also available... I'll find out what they have scheduled and will post it up tomorrow.

Anyone interested needs to book directly with Conch Republic... Just mention you are with Rich Burr's group. Don't wait too long as they are starting to get busy as the season progresses.

Ritchie,

I'll be there Friday afternoon to be ready to dive the weekend and following week. Just to let you know I spray painted my OPTIMA all black to keep you off of me (other thread) HEHEHEHEHE

Steve

chrisp · 31st March 2008, 22:23

Would anyone be interested in a night dive on the Duane Saturday night? I've got 3 people interested now and would need 2 or 3 more to make it a go.

Also, I'll probably be joining you for the double dip on the Grove Satuday afternoon. Should know for sure in a couple days.

diverreb · 1st April 2008, 00:18

Talked to Conch Republic today.... As an FYI they are doing the Spiegel Grove on Sat AM on the small boat and a Reef on the big boat. Both of those are close to filled.

Sunday morning dives are to the Duane on the big boat and a Reef dive on the small boat. Both of those are about half full as of now.

Friday they have a deeper reef dive on the big boat which is pretty full and currently nothing on the small boat. Friday afternoon is wide open, so if we want we can do pretty much anything on Friday.

The Saturday & Sunday afternoon double dips both have spaces available.

Richie
