Barry, what mix is everyone using for the dive? Last time I dove the "O" I used 28%.

Most of us were 29-31% last weekend, I did 27% for the first dive and 30% on the 2nd dive

29-30% would be what I recommend.

The boat is filling up fast, so I think we have 1 or 2 spots left. The boat already has 10 onboard plus our group and the boat will only take 16. There may be some cancellations but as of now we are tight.

Barry, I know it is a little early as far as the forecast goes. But what are the boat captains saying about the possibility of diving Saturday? Between the seas and the oil what are the captains thinking, at least at this point?

Oil is now expected to POSSIBLY reach Alabama beaches on Friday or Saturday, so offshore Florida may still be doable. Have not checked weather forecast recently though.

As of right now Saturday is looking great! The "H2O Below" is out today with a film crew and reporters - hopefully will bring back some great stuff.

I am getting excited!!

Oil is not expected to be in Alabama or adjacent waters through the weekend ( is what channel 3 is reporting as of Wed. 6pm)

Thanks for the info. I am glad to hear things are still looking good for Saturday. Keep us posted.
