So Sunday night I got a message from some friends who had planned a diving/Fantasy Fest weekend down in the Keys; one of their original group dropped out and left a spot that needed to be filled. Me being me, I jumped up and said yes before checking the weather for Friday and Saturday, which blows. Literally. 20-knot winds out of the east-northeast with 4-7 foot seas.
Their plan is to do a double dip on the Spiegel Grove with Horizon Divers on Friday afternoon and then a double dip on the Vandenburg with Captain's Corner on Saturday morning. Just to ask the more regular Keys divers - what are the odds those ops will go in the conditions that NOAA is calling for? If there's little to no chance of diving I may just tell these folks to get someone else to take the spot; I've never been to Fantasy Fest but that alone wasn't enough to sell me on the trip.
