14 dive sites and only 12 dives ... maybe we will need to do a few extra dives just to make sure we cover everything

Wow, you must be really cut up about having to make such a hard decision Almitywife... I am soo glad I am not in your position...

I would probably want to dive the wreck at least six times but that is just me :P Actually yea, I think you should sneak in two extra ones and do them all at least once

Hope you, thanksforallthefish and bowlofpetunias have a great time! Lucky~

Don't worry :11:as long as they don't make us flap our arms to help lift off it'll be fine!
Smallest plane I've been in was a two seater. We took off from a frozen lake, it was amazing.
first time I flew a 10 seat plane was a bit spooky. There was no barrier between the cockpit and cabin. We were taking off from Vancouver to fly to Vancouver Island. We were trundling down the runway when I saw the pilot say something to the co-pilot. The co-pilot nodded and put his hand over the pilot's hand on the acellerator bar. I thought OMG this plane is so bad it takes both of them to push hard enough to get it into the air! It was a low level flight over the water for 90 minutes. I was watching the white caps wondering how the thing would be to land all the way over.
I found out that by law in Canada both the pilot and co-pilot had to have their hands on the controls at takeoff and landing in case the pilot had a heart attack or something.
