Pompano.... Avid Diver & Fill Express. Everything from 20 - 300' minutes away. 6 pack, no long boat rides, and excellent logistical support.

Best idea so far. Make an introduction for us? Close enough for us to make a a midnight-dash down Rt 95 with all the crap too.
Have 4 rigs to bring (Mark-15, CIS, rEvo, and Pelagian), so truck-driving is an appealing thing.

May not be exactly what you are looking for, but I thought I'd bring it to your attention nonetheless, as you may want to consider it as an option.

Sounds like a good time, but too much commercialization. Want to be low key and focused on the mission, which is to do some work-up dives to 100 meters in prep for some 150 meter stuff later on.

Give Ted Green (O.C. Diver) a call. He could probably put something together for you out of O.C.,Md. He's a Rebreather World member.

How about Scapa Flow Dave? it would be a bit of a long haul for you to get here, but we are definitely rebreather friendly when you get here in that we have lime, cells, cylinders, tools and a very "understanding" attitudeCheers Baloo

Tim's recommendation of Pompano Beach does have some sweet wreck diving, and it happens to be my backyard. As Tim indicated, there's a couple of nice six-pack boats in the area which can take you out to the wrecks:

Fill Express / Rebreather Express is also in Pompano Beach, which can provide you any gas and equipment support you may need.

Dave: If you are thinking about the Empress, or some great lakes diving, Call Tyler Bradford. Great operator for these areas.

You also cannot go wrong with Ted Green. Ocean City Divers. Another top notch operator. He will not be afraid of your experimental rigs. Regards, Peter

Ted is moving his boat to Hatteras this weekend and should be there for a month or so. We're diving with him on Sunday and Monday. His schedule is on his website. He can also help you with housing.
