Who to dive with in NC?

Or slingshot ammo.

That would be cool. I want to watch Maybe even try them out in a potato gun:mooner:

Looking forward to seeing you on the boat.

I would not dive with Olympus again. They run a cattle boat, tried to hurry us in to the water (sorry but proper buddy checks take time) and their staff is rather snarkey. The topper was the air was shut off for the deco reg hanging from the trapeze. When I commented on it the DM said "Well it was freeflowing in the current". When I suggested he remove it from the water I just got a dumb look.

This hasn't been my experience with Olympus at all. While it's true they are a popular shop and their boats are often full, I'm not sure that makes it a "cattle boat". Their pre-dive briefings are the best I've experienced, and as for feeling rushed, I never got that at all.

If you felt rushed its probably because you were taking too long. Olympus is a superb operation given the complexities of diving offshore NC. I have never had any trouble with them at all.

Pat works on the boat.

 

[flounderer]

Yes I do and I think I may be the dive guide you signed up for Angela. PM me and we can start planning now.

If Pat is your dive guide, Angela, then you couldn't have gotten a better one.

He might even teach you how to properly tuck a spiny lobster in your waist strap.

Wach out--I hear if you put them in your waist strap they'll pinch your nipples.
