JAX Dry Dock late June

masonlc · Apr 27, 2008

As discussed at the last meeting...
I have contacted Capt. Dan (Offshore Dive Charters Jacksonville Florida) about diving the Dry Dock on either June 21st or 28th.
That far offshore will require chartering the boat. The rate would be $1500 divided by 6 divers or $250 each. Bring your own tanks or he will rent at $15/tank EANx or $10/tank air.

Anyone interested?

Mason,

I'm definitely interested.
I want to call a fishing charter out of St. Augustine that I think will run a 10-hour trip for us for $1200 in a 25-knot boat. We'd have six hours on the site and could get in three one hour dives with 90 minute SI times.

Mason, let me check on those dates first but I think they're good for me. So count me in.

Good to hear from you Brian!
The St. Augustine charter sounds great, do you know how many divers they take?

Looks like three of us so far...

It's a six-pack. I left a message and I'm waiting for a call back.
I should have the answer on that charter by Wednesday but I also got PM'd with another lead that requires some follow-up as well.

I'm interested, but it depends greatly on the cost... I can do a lot of cave diving for $250.

It's going be $200/person (plus tip) minimum to use a commercial boat.

They had the "brilliant idea" to put this thing down equidistant from Jax and SA, 45 nm out. At $4.25-$4.75 a gallon for diesel delivered to a comfortable boat that gets 1 nm/gallon, you're into $450-$500 worth of fuel alone for the charter op.

I'm doing a similar trip out of Sarasota on June 1st that's $200 per diver plus another $65 for my helium addiction. I could afford a smokin' hot mistress for what it costs me to play this game

Is this a hunting or a sightseeing trip?

Cheaper in some countries.
