Looks like we're booked for the Hydro Sunday afternoon...Sherry said that they would use the bigger boat....so we'll all have more room!
Looking forward to it...keep that weather forcast as it is!

Glad to hear you guys were able to get onboard - Always nice to meet new rebreather divers, especially fellow Optima divers! I'm also glad they are taking us on the bigger boat, especially with the forecasted calm seas, because I'm not particularly fond of their smaller one.

See you Sunday!

I just received an email confirming that Sunday's 1:00PM Hydro Atlantic dive has been moved to their larger boat, Aqua View. I checked South Florida Diving Headquarters' online scheduling and reservation site (South Florida Diving Headquarters) and it now reflects 15 more spots available. Looks like the weathers going to be flat and there's also going to be plenty of room on board!

FYI

Looks like it's going to be another weekend of nice South Florida diving, so how about we start the weekend off with a little group celebration dance!

We've now got four Rebreather divers coming over from Tampa bay area...3 O2ptimas and one KISS..........

Thanks Adrian. I am looking forward to it. Marc and I got a nice 2+ hours cave dive in yesterday and we will do another couple today and one on Sat am before driving back. I should get my fills up here so I am all ready for Sun.

Hi Steve-
Give me a call if you are over for the weekend if you want to catch dinner/drinks. Sailflow looks like there will be zippo wind until about 3PM each day, and then after that its out of the W-SW, so it should be boootiful.
BTW, is the wreck you had planned to dive the 28 Fathom Wreck?

I'm glad you were able to arrange for some cave diving with Marc, because the weather in this area has been less than stellar the last couple of days. However, if the forecast is even remotely accurate, it does appear that the weather from Saturday afternoon through Tuesday is going to be excellent!

Have you heard from Eric about his plans for Tuesday in the Keys? Is he still trying to arrange another dive on the Northern Lights? Eric???
