Wreckmania II countdown

[seaangel]

It is officially 7 days till I get on the road heading to Wreckmania II!

Are any of the rest of you getting excited? I am!

Let's hear some of that excitment, I don't know why but we have been a very quiet group on the boards. Have we become a bit nonchalant or what?

Walter, you haven't given us any specifics on anything we might need to bring this year, like reels, lights, slates etc. Still need them right?

Natasha, how about it anything else we need to provide? Are we going to do any kind of cookout time?

Hope to hear some noise here soon!

How about a whine instead. I was there last year and had a great time but work had prevented me from making it this year. !$%@@@!!!#$^%#%! WORK. If it's anything like last year, you will have a blast. I will be looking for daily pictures for those of us who have to miss the fun.

Walter told me I would need a reel. I plan to get one at Divers Direct in Key Largo when I get there.

I'm interested in hearing the answer to this one. My primary light flooded a couple weeks ago, and I really don't want to spend the money to replace it [as I'm getting a real light soon].

What's the list of necessary gear?

Last year the gear list was light, snorkle and reel. You don't need a big honkin light for the course and reels were shared between divers last year. If ned be you are more than welcome (as is anyone else to use my reel).

Does anyone know if there is a Brownies Third Lung in Key Largo? They have a sweet roll-up/fold-up snorkle that I want to get.

Later

If this is a wreck trip, why would you want a snorkle, and why wouldn't you want a big honkin light?? We are talking shipwrecks, right?

If you are taking the class, you need to be aware of the requirements.

I need to see your log with at least 20 dives. I will need a copy of your c-card (front & back).

Required will be: Mask, snorkel, fins, SCUBA cylinder, valve, BC, LPI, regulator with 2 second stages, SPG, weight system, timing device, depth gauge, light, reel, signaling device (whistle, mirror or safety sausage), knife or shears and slate.

Nice but not required: Gloves (strongly recommended), Compass, Insurance (strongly recommended), computer and pony bottle or doubles.

Buddy teams can share a reel.

"If this is a wreck trip, why would you want a snorkle, and why wouldn't you want a big honkin light??"

The snorkel is required by agency standards. I think it is a mistake to require a snorkel in wreck standards, but we will follow the standards.

You don't want a big light.
