I am going March 8th - 11th. We were scheduled to go in Jan. but it was cancelled due to weather. The lds owner talked the the boat owner last week. He said he has had to cancel every trip this year due to weather. I hope we don't get cancelled next week. I am taking a 3mm.
 
I can tell you this weekends forcast isn't looking good. It's like that every winter, the weekends are hosed because of the weather but Wednesdays are real nice!
 
Also you can't enter the park with speared fish. So when the first fish is shot, you're stuck outside.

The last I heard, you can enter the park with lobster or speared fish. But, you are not allowed to DIVE in the park if you have lobster or speared fish on board. A private or commercial vessel may still enter the park to visit Fort Jefferson, anchor for the night, etc.

If you guys going on the March 8-11th wouldn't mind posting a trip report when you get back right b4 I go, I would gladly appreciate it. This way I could hope to reap all the benefits that this excursion offers. I will not only pray for calm seas from the 13-16th, but from the 8-16th, to look out for both of our trips. I am about to go purchase my safety sausage!

I hope to see you there MSP. The weather is not looking good. If it is cancelled we are going to rent a car and dive at key largo and Pompano beach.
 
I hope to have a report to post Scubaluuke

Yes I will be on the Ultimate Getaway from March 13-16th.

Not unless you are boarding and departing from it mid-trip. University of Alabama has it booked March 12 - 14 and Caloosa Dive Club has it booked March 15 - 18. I'll be on the March 15 - 18 trip. Ultimate Getaway schedule
