Upcoming Trip: March 21st, 22nd & 23rd

Mike448 · 20th March 2008, 14:56

I just spoke with Scuba Tyme and Sat is all shallow reefs - he has a class. Sunday also reefs - not too exciting.

Does anyone know if Avidiver has anything cool going?

Another option for Sat pm is American Dream out of Fort Lauderdale. They are doing a 3 tank: Dantor, 50-90 Reef & 30ft Reef. Sunday thy have a wreck in the am, and pm s open. Perhaps we could convince Todd to do Tennaco n the afternoon. American Dream is a good boat, but do not like Deco dives - recreational limits only Check out: ScubaFortLauderdale.com - Home of the American Dream II

There is always something exciting happening on a reef no matter the depth!

Weatherwise, it looks like Sunday will be the best day. However, on Saturday afternoon, departing at 1:00, RJ Diving has a dive to the Sherry Lynn at 110 feet followed by a reef dive. Would that appeal to anybody?

Sounds great to me.

Although that dive sounds very appealing, I'm personally going to hold of on that decision. I'm doing Erik and his buddy the favor of picking up some equipment for him from Fill Express and will be meeting up with them this evening after their flight arrives from Boston to deliver the gear. I believe he's scheduled to dive with Scubatyme all weekend, so I'd like to discuss the dive options with him and see what he'd like to do, because I think he was looking forward to diving with some of the S.C.R.U.B.'s while down here, and the Miami thing may be a little far South for his preference, but maybe not.

I'll keep you posted!

If ScubaTyme are going to do some cool dives on Saturday, then thats great. But when I spoke to him he only had shallow reefs scheduled as he ha a class. LEt us know if you here anything different - I'm flexible.

I hear you Mike, I certainly was not suggesting that anyone not book the RJ Trip, because I am well aware that the thought of going out and doing a few very shallow reefs is not the most appealing thing for most rebreather divers. Personally, I'm addicted to depth, so the deeper the better! I only intended to let you guys know that I was holding off on making my personal decision, because I wanted to see what decisions Erik was going to make, because if at all possible, I am hoping to dive with him and and his buddy, and do some interesting diving as well.

If it works out that I ultimately join you guys down south, fabulous! If not, then there's always next weekend, and in your case, we'll plan on diving again together when your in town again!

Alright, I met up with Erik and Sam this evening and explained to them the situation. So, depending how things pan out, theres a good chance they may be onboard with the Saturday afternoon dive with RJ.

Anyone know what RJ was planning for Saturday morning, because Erik and Sam were looking to do a whole day thing and might opt to do RJ's morning trip as well?

***ScubaDadMiami*** · 21st March 2008, 02:50
