Mighty O in August

Ben I can get my hands on some 119's if you can. It doesn't matter that much to me but the more time down there the better.

GRD, do you have a backplate and wings? If not, Just wondering if you have enough lift on regular bc for a 119 steel. I have a low profile bc vest. So, I'm just going to use my alum 80's with side mount pony bottle. I guess I will have to hope someone else is diving the same equipment as I, so I can have a dive buddy that will dive the same profile I will.

I don't but I can get one. My BC has 45lbs. of lift so I think it would do the job. It doesn't matter though. If you are only doing AL80's I will do the same. Don't want to leave anyone short on a trip this big.

I will see if I can work something out with my LDS. l think a 119 cu would be safer but I would still want to do a non-deco dives. I'll keep ya posted.:14:

Here's a thought. At Hudson Grotto we can go to 130' and do a very slow ascent - similar to a Mighty O profile. We can judge how we do on air and NDL (at 28% mix). If we miss out on bottom time because of air then we'll look to get bigger tanks. Of course I am not looking to use every PSI in my tank but finish will the normal 500 PSI. Having a pony with us is also a good idea.

Whatta ya think?

Its a good idea. Its just finding the time to get together and do it.

Good Idea! I'm up for it! When? I'm fairly open for weekends. I would need advance warning for a weekday, like at least a couple weeks.

I am open on my schedule. I can look to take a weekday off, or meet up after work for a late afternoon weekday dive. Of course we could meet up on a weekend.

If our schedules do not match up then I could dive with one of you on the weekday and then on the weekend.

I am booked up this weekend. Let me check my schedule for next weekend and see what I an get worked out.

If you are interested in getting two more people in, may have two.

We have three spots left. I may have one of those filled but as for now three. Its a first come first serve thing. So they are going to need to commit pretty quick. If they are interested shoot me a PM and I will tell you how to get in touch with the dive operator and get their names on the list. Along with the rest of the details.
