Hi all.
Well, my OW cert dives are scheduled for next weekend (June 14th/15th) at Gilboa. I'm pretty excited. Thus far my dive training has gone very smoothly and I feel comfortable in the water. I've read a lot about Gilboa and I'm excited to finally experience such a cool dive site and become a certified diver. My wife and I will be driving down from mid-Michigan, probably on Friday night.
What should I expect? I'd be interested in hearing any and all tips that you veterans have for a newbie at Gilboa for the first time. Where to stay, where to park, what "little" things that people bring that make the experience better, what to wear, what to expect,etc. I have a 7mm FJ, gloves and a hood. I understand that it will initially be cold, but I'm hoping that I'll still be warm enough, especially at the shallower depth we'll be operating at for the weekend.
Any tips and tricks that you can pass along to this rookie will be appreciated!
