Are there rebreather divers in Texas?

Hey Captain Randy, You wouldn't happen to have a boat would ya (GEESH I AM BRILLIANT!!). If so do you run charters? how much? where too? and so on...

My last boat sunk in Rita. I'm trying to find a fuel efficient boat now to run charters on. Price will depend on the boat, destinations will be rigs and wrecks. This year we will be able to dive some of the platforms sunk during the hurricanes. This is like diving a ship that went down unplanned instead of a prepared artificial reef.

Captain,
Please put me on the list of interested people.
I am in North Texas but I have a group of people that are looking for boats in the gulf.
Presently, we have limited options for technical and rebreather divers.

Later, Andrew

Tom,

I will be in town around the 23rd I'll give you a shout then. I am from So.Ca. we dive various wrecks in the South Bay, San Diego, Catalina/Avalon and even venture up north a bit.

Look forward to talking with you,

John

Andrew,

Where are you diving now? North Texas is a long drive to the coast.

If you need a Rebreather instructor I know of a couple that are very good that I can put you in touch with. One that is willing to travel if the class is large enough (min. 4 students).

Most boats stop running in November. That wind from the North is nasty. Plus, on the upper coast you really get beat up coming home. Winter is the time to dive So TX. You actually go pretty much So to get back to port.

We finnaly bought the boat a 31' Chris Craft and should start trips on the Labor day weekend. These will be 1 day trips to rigs in the 100' area 30-40 miles off of freeport. After a few more improvments we will be adding some deeper dives including a drilling rig turned over in about 190'. We won't be shutting down for the winter but we will have to pick our days to avoid rough seas.
