This is the latest and greatest from the Skills Clinic thread.

What I know so far is that most people are planning to be there on Saturday, August 30, and at least some people will be around for Sunday and maybe Monday.

For Saturday we have The ScubaGuys armed with a video camera willing to go out and videotape a dive or 2(?) and debrief with the participants later.

BigT has agreed to show up with, not 1, but 2 turkey fryers and cook up a feast for everyone. I said I'd bring some side items and such, and anyone that wants to join in the big feast would be more than welcome to contribute either some dining accessories (food, plates, utensils, etc.) or a few dollars to offset the cost of feeding everyone. Let us know what you plan to do so we don't double up on stuff.

Beyond that there are no hard and fast plans as to what will be covered, but there's still room for suggestions. I'm an inexperienced diver, but anyone that's having compass troubles, I can help. There will be plenty of experienced divers around that I'm sure would be more than happy to help with weight and trim issues. If anyone wanted to practice rescue skills, that can probably be arranged as well. So, if you have suggestions, pipe up!

The folks that have expressed interest so far are as follows:

Anyone who wants to come and dive is more than welcome! If we've missed you on this list, let us know (thanks to detroit diver for keeping track)!

Thanks for all the interest so far! It's going to be a fun weekend!

I'd like to be there but need assurances that none of those nicknames hides one Brian Wagner & bro, the Combustible Brothers. I need peace and quiet, and another weekend with the Wagnerian Sonic Cannon is anything but restful.

What the hell, I'll come anyway, but if I know he's gonna be there, I'll bring earplugs, and better beer than that weird Porter stuff he was serving. My sideburns turned long and grey, and I began to walk with a stoop after one of those thangs.

I'm really looking forward to coming. Do you want us Canadians to bring some exotic local delicacies? REAL beer? Maple Syrup? Chocolate covered Moose droppings?

:D
 
Mebbe in Kitchener, but in Stratford we cover mint chocolate with more chocolate. Much more user friendly, and you have nicer smelling breath after eating them.
Moose droppings .... BLEAHHH!!!

I'm sure you can handle it John. Besides, I didn't get to dive with you last time.

I have a Turkey Fryer, some peanut oil (probably need more though), a burner and an extra LP tank, if necessary.

I've already met Seacur (aka JohnF) and would be more than happy to add some international flava to the event :D
