The original plan for the weekend was to Get my AOW and Nitrox....

Sat shore dives, Sun Oriskany

Stinkin marine report.....

It also killed plans for the Whiskey Wreck and/or a boat trip I had planned during the week.

So as I do underwater Nav in the Orange Beach pool today I will still be cussing.

grrrrrr.......

you have all season to make up the dives. and the more dives you have before the "O" the better the dive will be. you'll use less gas, have better buoyancy control, and have a longer and safer dive.

It has just been frustrating to have dive after dive cancelled.

I do feel much better after doing my peak performance bouyancy today, and working on getting my trim right. I know it will make me much more comfortable when I finally do get to the O.


Right now the plan is to go on a boat trip Wed, hopefully the weather will be nice.:blinking:

Goodluck on the offshore trip, the gulf can be frustrating this time of year, but it usually gets a bit more reliable in the summer time
