Well just got into work, and bad news. Have a 4 hour service call at 5pm. This sucks. Have not been night diving in a while, and the girlfriend will be out. Still up for something Saturday morning.

I'm just now reading the posts...Unfortunately I can't make it to night...I can make it tomorrow night.. Anyone willing to push the dive back until tomorrow night?

Are you still up for tonight Steven? I got an air fill last night, but need nitrox for the weekend. I can't make any other night his week. I would hate to waste perfectly good air.

Trying to see if I can get another tech to cover this tonight. Are you going to the balls or the closer reef?

It depends on conditions and whatever anyone else wants to do.

I like Pompano myself, but won't do the drop off at night when the seas are over 2' or so. It's too far and the balls can be hard to find in those conditions.

The inner reef is very nice a bit further south of SE 12th which can easilsy be done with the parking situation if there's no current or a north current. It's also not too far out.

Thanks for this information Soamelt... good to know. I'd like to try the drop off at some point when the conditions are good for it. It sounds like the drop off may be a better daytime dive generally.

If people are still planning on diving tonight, I'd love to join in. Any location is good with me.. and I could use the exercise as well ... so swimming is not a problem. Would we be meeting at 7:30 at the 8th Street location (as posted by ctx120 in post #21)? Thanks!
Beth
