    ABWA - 2nd Annual Feb Dive.

    This year in February, several SubaBoarders met up at Alabama Blue Water Adventure (ABWA/Pelham AL) and did a few dives. (Some more than others. :P) We were kindly hosted by Clay and his family.

    The air temp was 32F or less degrees while the water was a warm 45F degrees or so. So, needless to say, it was warmer (@!#^$#@??) in the water. I know I had a great time, even though it was quite cold during the SIs but, we all made fun of Denise. So good times! :P

    I'm posting this now, as I got clearance from the boss (wife) to dive that day.

    The date will be February 2nd. According to the site, they are open from 9 AM till sunset. If the weather permits and the temp permits as well, we should be able to get at least 3 to 4 dives in. Even with extended SIs to warm up with.

    We can meet up afterwards at Hooters unless *cough*Clay*cough* or someone is interested in hosting us again.

    Either way, all are invited and I will be there along with FrankC.

    Hope to see you all there. If you want, we could also bring food and eat lunch at ABWA. I'm game to bring food.

    So, please post if you are interested in going.

    Michael

    Why DIR? Because pushing rocks uphill gets old quickly.

    Would wet diving be unadvisable?

    That'd be great! I've been wanting to meet you and dive with you quite sometime now.

    Eh, I dove with a 3mm Henderson gold and 3mm shorty. Wasn't to bad, as long as I stayed in the water and was moving.

    Mr. Dry Suit.. *pfff* I'll have mine soon. Although, I need to send it off and get it altered.
