I can probably play hookie from work a day during the week for some diving. Let me know. Thanks. J.R.

Well, I just got my boat back from the shop. It's been over a year and half ordeal but I think I'm finally ready to put the boat to some good use. However, I don't know of any good dive spots to take it. I've got a 23' Cuddy Cabin with a single 200hp Evinrude. So, I don't really don't want...

I was thinking of saving myself the brutal swim of the beach dives at Venice/Caspersen beach. So, I'm looking for a public launch ramp near Venice/Caspersen Beach where I can launch my boat. I know there is one at the end of the road by municipal park (Caspersen) but don't know if it will...

Unfortunately, my wife and I aren't going to make it tonight either. I really wanted to meet everyone too. I think another M&G should be scheduled so that those that aren't going to be able to attend can meet everyone. What about a monthly M&G? J.R.

You can add me and my wife (Sheila). Thanks. J.R.

Sounds good to me.

Yeah, it looks like tomorrow is going to be a no-go. Maybe next weekend.

I agree. I don't think the weather is going to permit a dive this weekend. We might have to reschedule. However, I'm willing to keep the dive on standby, just in case the weather permits.

We usually get down there between 8-9am. What do you think? My girlfriend and I will be there and I've got a buddy who wants to come also.

That would be too easy. We didn't have a cart so we parked at Service Park and carried the kayaks and all our gear to the water. Then we had the chaotic adventure that was posted earlier. I think I'm gonna stick to walking out and diving the old fashioned way. This fat guy isn't made for a yak.

The park we dove, was the Service Park across the street from the airport. When you walk out on the boardwalk, go left about 20yds. Your reference point will be the two tall "pine" trees. Swim straight out the length of the pier and then another 1/2-1 full length of the pier again. You...

Unfortunately, it's true.:shakehead:

This trip definitely was a learning experience. My BC will definitely be inflated before I leave the beach next time. Dropping my gear was the best decision of the day. Also, there will be NO pictures posted. The camera was also afloat during this little ordeal. Even if we did have pics...

It was definitely a "snug" fit. I'm not too sure if I will be doing the kayak thing again either.

I thought what happens in Venice, stays in Venice? :mooner: Oh well, it's true, it was one hell of a dive. Unfortunately, my gear had more bottom time than I did. However, there was one good thing about this trip gone bad. We founda a pretty good All-U-Can eat Italian buffet. At least we...

Thanks. I'm gonna jump on that site in just a minute. I've got a lead on a rebuilt powerhead right now for $2k w/warranty. I'm gonna keep looking and see what else I can find. Then comes the fun part of trying to figure out how this thing goes back together. haha. Again, thanks for the...

Matt, I'm looking to buy one or two as well. Maybe we could get a group order together and try for a group discount somewhere. I'll check with the local dive shops in St Pete/Clearwater and see what I can come up with. Do you have any color preferences?

Does he have anymore?

The funny thing is, that this same shop did a compression, spark, and fuel system check before I bought the boat. I've got the invoice and receipts from that. It was done the day before I picked up the boat. I'm really starting to get frustrated with this shop.

No, I appreciate the help. That is why I started this thread. I was looking to get some advice from people who know something about Marine mechanics. The shop I went to seem like a bunch of morons. I am not happy with them to say the least. In case somebody missed it, SouthEastern Marine in...
