Any and every single, non-married diver is welcome to join us on the "Fabulous February Singles Scubadiving Fling" coming to the board this week!
We've been finalizing details and I hope to have them all published by the end of this week.
Here's what we have so far....
1. Feb (not the weekend of the 8th per a request)
2. Divers will be able to stay for 4 or 7 days so that people coming in from a longer distance can make the trip worth their while!
3. We will need between 10 and 20 divers to make this work so please recruit divers for the trip....both on and off the board. (When you recruit divers from off the board...invite them to join the board and see what they've been missing!)
4. Final pricing will not be able to be published on the board but will be available via email link or PM.
5. We will be planning a number of 'get acquainted' activities for everyone so mingling will be easy and getting to know other single divers will be fun!
6. We are aiming for half female and half male diver composition so PLEASE help us recruit single female divers! They will have a ball we guarantee it!
7. We will be able to accommodate both experienced as well as new divers with boats designed to match your diving skills and desires! (Not sure we can guarantee equal number of males and females on each boat....but we can certainly match up skill levels....the rest we'll leave to you!)
I've had lots of requests from people wanting information on the trip so I decided to let you all know it is a 'GO' and we'll have the final pricing this week. I can only tell you that the wait will be worth it if we can finalize all the details we are working on right now!!! (The lingering downswing in the economy will mean some very limited diving specials for the next few months only so our timing of February is just on the cut off for winter/holiday rate specials!)
Feel free to post questions or PM with your interest in the trip!

Other brief discussion was Cozumel. Great diving, but can't get there from here.

Hi Scuba Guys and Gals!
I'm just waiting on a few more details to be worked out and we'll have ALL the trip details. Currently I've had a few folks ask that it not be the weekend of the 7-8th of Feb nor the last weekend of the month.
That leaves Feb 14th weekend and Feb 21st weekend. Does anyone else have preferences for either of those two weekends as they are both open right now and they are the two I'm trying to decide between!
Thanks for the input....hope to see you all diving soon!

Can you explain to this Canadian diver what "too cold" means to you? :)

I think The Wench is trying to think of the majority feeling. If she was sponsoring a trip for Canadians only, she'd probably not worry as much, but since she expects the majority to be fom the lower 48 - she's trying to go with that approach. Or that's the jest of our PMs over this exacty subject.
When she does get the details announce, you Candaians and other penguin types can look forward to warm waters! You'll probably wear a dive skin while I'm diving in a 3 mil.
I'm certainly going, from what I've heard so far!!

Okay, so I probably wouldn't need my drysuit is what you're saying.
So what are you expecting water temps to be? Air temps? I have no idea what it's like there in February.
Here? Well, we'll be cutting a hole through about 2-3ft of ice with a chainsaw and playing upside down hockey on the ice!! It's hard to keep the puck on the ice though. Gravity gets in the way. :D

DandyDon
October 23rd, 2003, 01:25 PM
You won't need your chainsaw, which is nice, since airlines won't fly them.
Think of air in the 80s and water in the 70s to 80s. Sounds too hot? You'll love it. Still depends on the final destination decision? Cozumel water and air temps are usually a little warmer than the Florida Keys and Gold Coast. I was in Coz last January after a cold front, though. Water was great with a 1 mil, but got chilled in the wind afterwards. What I call cold air :cold: is probably a lot different that what you'd call cold, though.
stay in touch, don

PM me the details when available. I'd probably go for a long weekend type trip... Not enough vacation for a full week. This sounds like an awesome way to fill the Jan/Feb void....

A cruise ship isn't what I'd call civilized transport from GCM to CZM. I can't get there without going through Miami, Houston, or La Ceiba.

GCM can land damn near anything that flies. Oddly enough, the US government frequently has military aircraft in the area. In the event of an emergency landing, those aircraft south of Cuba divert here. Happens about once a month between commercial and military planes.
Seems they don't want to try Havana's airport for some reason?
BA flies a 767 here. It stops in Nassau each way.i

Spoke with The Wench this morning, and she almost has the packages ready to look at, but things keep slipping out of focus. Kinda' like penning cattle with a couple of mavericks in the bunch. You'll approach the corral and, one of the mavs will cut out; you'll cut it back in, and a mav on the other side will cut out; been there many times.
Anyway, The Wench wants to offer two packages, and hopes to be able to do so any day now. She may not get things done over the weekend, as the providers she's trying to work with may not be available until Monday; not sure? But soon... :mean:

The runway is a bit over 7000ft. It can handle a B777.
Military planes have included weather recon "hurricane hunter" planes, c130 cargo planes, and a few "others" that have required tight security.
On the commerical side, a Lan Chile jet made an emergency landing after smoke penetrated the passenger cabin. The airline put up the passengers and crew at the Holiday Inn while a maintenence crew was flown in from NYC. For two days, the crew looked over every wire looking for damage. The final verdict was that the smoke came from the cookies baking for the first class passengers. The plane was cleared for take-off, and the unexpected Cayman vacation was welcomed by some of the stuck passengers.
Now about that single's trip... when? :)

man thats amazing a triple could get in there, but can a 47 even turn around on that runway.
by "others" you mean spy/black aircraft or like heavily armed figthers. small island but must be intresting to see what lands on a regualr basis

No Drew. The way things are going, I may have to have a full 3 mil suit for FL that time of the year as well. Just got back from diving in south Florida (Deerfield Beach/Boca Raton), and with a dive skin and shorty, I wasn't warm. A 3 mil wouldn't have been overkill.

Water temps were 82° F last weekend. In February, they'll likely be about 10 degrees cooler at the same location.
Also, the trip might not be to Florida.

Ah, good point Walter. The trip might not be in Florida. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
Now if I can only convince someone that they want to go on this trip - I will be doing well.

72 ain't too bad. I hate I mean HATE cold water. But I do dive in the 72 degree springs here with a 2 piece 3 mm suit and I usually don't start getting cold until the end of the 2nd dive. Don't get me wrong...I would much rather dive the warmer waters of West Palm or the Keys (my more realistic dive spots), in just my farmer Jane, but 72 is doable.

Who knows what The Wench :blondie: will come up with. Think she got sidetracked, but I'm sure she'll resume the lead any day now.
If Florida Keys in February, it could be a bit cooler than preferred, but still fun. If it's 72 F at the surface and cooler below the thermocline on the wreck dives, I'll wear my 1 mil skin, my 3 mil long, my neoprene beanie, and a smile. :) Big smile! :crest:
Air fare to Florida should be pretty reasonable in February, should we go there, and many will see that as a drive in dive site. Probably get a lot more participants than we would in the Caribben somewere. I dived there in March last year, and it was super.
I guess we'll know soon, though? :question:

Hello to all!
First let me apologize for the delay in getting this trip put together. I'm in the process of moving my mother from N. Idaho where she has lived for 30 years to Texas to be with my sister and I, now that my father has passed away. It seems that everyday brings a new mini-crisis and each week a major one with a closing in Idaho and simultaneous closing in Texas not to mention coordinating 2 long distance moves. The first closing was to be this week but has hit one problem after another...is it a sign???? We can't tell but no one wants my mom to weather another winter by herself in the great white wintery northwest! We can only delay the first closing so much or else we can't do the second and of course juggle movers in the middle. Just when I think it can't get any worse....it does.
In the meantime just when I think I've got a GREAT trip all worked out I run into a glitch that either delays my posting the trip or changes the mix. Trying to get an operator that will allow half to do a week and half to do only 4 days is challenging enough but add other factors such as proximity to good airfares if we use a package....has kept the trip still in the air. And finally...S. Florida especially WPB or Keys is pricey in the winter but warmer water and hopefully air temps. Cozy is the other option as it will be summer like there in Feb but airfare is an issue for some.
At this rate....assuming my sanity holds...I hope to have 2 homes sold.....2 moves underway.....and a great dive trip option all firmed by the end of this week!!! Wishful thinking???? Yep....just call me 'lucky'!!! ;) And if you don't.....don't call at all!! I've had my share of bad luck....bad news....and bad breaks....for 2003! ww

Just spoke with one of the Key Largo D-Operators I like, and he said to expect water around 75 F :fire: but cooler at depth. And those wrecks are fun dives, good viz thanks to the Gulf Stream. Could be a current, part of the fun! :google:

Spoke with the WRECK WENCH, and - aside from taking care of her mom's needs, work, and real life - she's playing catching up on nailing down all the details for this group trip. She wants to offer choices between Florida and Mexcio...
But she needs some feedback from you quickly: :huh:
Would you rather have a dive package based on 2 dives a day or 3??
I like 4 a day myself, but then - I'd miss out on a lot of the non-diving stuff. And with a crazy :dazzle: bunch of single divers from all over, maybe I should plan on more surface time.
So, either post your preferences here ASAP, or PM the W.Wench. Otherwise she'll need to develop a plan without your input...

I'm sure you did not intend on being a royal pain, but this is a good example of how to make a group outing totally impossible :loopy: to plan. Okay, you're new, so you may not understand the needs more obvious to some; let me expand a bit here to make a point for all.
There's some very expensive boats, and some certified and experienced professionals, to be booked - real :$: high dollor commitments to make one way or the other. And everyone wants :$$: the lowest buck spent. "Have my cake and eat it, too" has no history of working.

Yes sir, got that. :togo: Look, the obvious is pretty obvious. The W.WENCH is one of the most intelligent people on the board, and she already knew that. I guess I'm not a :dunce: dummie, as I knew that. No pity from me, though; I drop a tousand or two every time I go diving.
The WENCH is trying to organize a fun time, board group thing - not sell a business. Support and answers are what she needs to make this work. Window shopping just causes confusion, and she has enough of that already.
So, those who would like to help out, please post here or PM her. Others please standby quietly.

DandyDon, you are correct I had no intention of being a pain for anyone much less a Royal Pain as you referenced.. either way I only made that statement because I would like to go, but don't want to stand in anyone else's way at the same time. I also realize the cost is not cheap and didn't expect it to be mere pennies.... I am very new to diving and won't have a lot of experience before hand on doing several dives in one day and with the weather getting cooler in the next few months I won't be venturing off to the lakes/diving parks much until the spring so that's why I said what I did....either way with all of that in mind I'm going to back off of this whole thing and wait until some other time..

as for diving if im going to be there for the week i would like 4 days of diving, plus a night dive or two. to me that would be enough diving to have fun, but also leave time for the group to have fun.

I am soooooo sorry everyone that I have not been able to lock this trip down as desired. Aside from the closing(s) for my mother's homes both in Idaho and Texas STILL being in limbo despite her whole home being packed up and almost loaded on the van...I'm very close but have not completely finalized the details on the trip as I had hoped.
Several factors I had not originally considered...
1. Feb 14th thru the 21st (President's Day) means more people flying REGARDLESS of where we do the trip which means less options for cheap airfare.
2. The best dates in this timeframe are end of Jan timeframe; end of Feb timeframe or very very early March.
3. The issue of 3 dives vs. 2 may go away as I will have some 3 dive days and allow the option of adding a third dive wherever possible. Therefore you can dive as little or as much as you want!
As for new divers and old divers.....regardless of where we go we will have divers paired up with other divers of similar experience. Boats typically hold 6-8 divers so this will not be a problem.
And finally....please forgive me for pushing Don so hard as I've had him checking into numerous dive operators for me on our board as well as hotel operators from the search functions the board provides. So not only has he researched for me practically every dive operator (or so it seems) in Florida...ok just the Keys... and Cozumel...he has read all of your comments on them to ensure we don't chose someone people have complained about....in fact it has been so many so that I think I pushed him over the edge. :(
PLEASE FORGIVE ME....normally I would have done it all myself but the magnitude of it all coupled with the problems I've had with my mom's move has necessitated me taking his help when he so graciously offered. Just didn't know I would cause him to crack....(I thought that just happened to my ex-boyfriends! Oh I didn't really say that did I????) ;)
And finally....to all of you who have PM'd me about my mom.....THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH! We will still make this trip happen....and we will have a ball! That I know!!! Good things come for those who work for it so we should have a GREAT trip here shortly!!!
I do want to thank Don for all his support and efforts to help me get the behind the scenes stuff done so we end up with an awesome trip....as well as everyone for being so patient! Thank you all.... WW

Oh I forgot to mention that it doesn't matter if you want the trip to be 4 nights/3 days diving or 7 nights/5 days diving because part of why it is taking so long is that I am negotiating the option of both meaning you can stay either 4 nights or 7 nights and still be part of the whole group! The only assumption I'm making is that we will have about 15-20 people with about half staying 4 nights and half staying 7 nights.
The pricing seems like it is working out fairly decent so far...just making sure we don't sacrafice quality for price....AND we still end up having a great dive trip for everyone on it REGARDLESS of whether you stay all week or just part of it.
So be thinking of who you want to room with....the best pricing is of course for double occupancy...and those who know me know I'm very good at matching up roommates so don't worry if you don't know anyone.....yet!!! ww

The WRECK WENCH is pretty much unavailable today and tomorrow, and - for anyone who may have subscribed to this thread - she asked me to convey that she open a new one on this.
After all of the delays, obstacles, challenges, setbacks, and confusion - the WW finally pulled the plan together, and DID SHE EVER!! It looked like we were going to Florida, and I was hoping we'd get lucky with a warm week (they do get winter there sometimes :cold: ), but she pulled off a much better deal in Always Warm Cozumel! Nice looking divers resort, sounds-great dive operator, and what great prices! :$$: Go ahead and skip to her announcement here if you'd like, but maybe don't book your reservation until Friday or Saturday - as her booking site is still under construction:
