1) I hate all of you....You'll be in sunny florida diving on wrecks with 100+ feet of visibility while I'll be sitting in my office dreaming of diving until my suit gets back from repair.

2) Have a great time. I look forward to hearing your tales.

I'm hoping to get down there in Feb or March. I really want to dive the Speigel Grove!

 

[shellbird]

is looking hot, humid and sunny....


Woo Hoo!

I'm on board with Aaron.

I hate you all... I wanna go. The snow this morning was pretty but it pissed me off. Not good for diving and not cold enough yet to ski.

I can't wait to hear all the details and see the pics from the NELD southern conquests.

You guys must be packing now, huh? I'm looking forward to meeting you all very much!

The weather pattern last few days has been sunny with occasional afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Wind has been light.

In other words, real nice

For Saturday morning, cut tables for the following ranges:

90' - 120', 15 - 30 min

Everyone needs to have tables (either custom cut or agency version) for the gas they're diving and a depth gauge and timing device (at least a watch). Computer folks will do better as usual. DC may have rental puters, I dunno.

Rent the biggest tanks you can comfortably dive for the SG dive. Get EANx 32 if you can.

You guys are in 2 travel groups, right? I think at least one in each group has my cell number. If not, PM me. If you can and I don't answer, leave your number, I'll get back to you soonest.

What time are we supposed to be at DC????

[raxafarian]

They only had AL80's and LP85's to rent. Lisa and I requested EAN32....but that'll limit us to 110ft.

I think 8am? I'm planning on 7:30

I'll cut tables for ean32 and for air.


oh yea... guess I should start packing

 

[WreckWriter]

Yea, 110 if you want to keep a low PO2, 130 would be 1.6 I think. 110 is likely our max anyway to get a reasonable time without deco.

They one of the few shops that rents steels, most have only 80s and some have 63s.

Pack Safe trip and see you soon.
