    2015 Fallfest Megadive

    The 5 of us will be there (Simon, Christa, Rylan, Sophie, Nick) :) Looking forward to seeing everyone! We are happy to bring whatever is needed. We'll plan for a couple salads (broccoli salad and a pasta salad with veggies & meat). If you need us to bring more eggs, omelette ingredients or...

    2013 Fallfest Megadive

    I still have a sombrero from Colin's house back in 2004 (?), is that the one you mean? I believe I picked up the piece of wood y'all gave me for a wedding gift, but not 100% sure on that.

    Back in the water (& on SB) again

    I have the drysuit, but no big, heavy tanks to go with them anymore... Do you need one? You might be a little skinny for it, but i hear they shrink under water pressure. ;)

    2013 Fallfest Megadive

    I took my then 3 and 4 year olds last year, but we wont have them this year with us. Scubafool has a little girl in his care who might be 8/9? The rest of the kids are often pre-teen to teen (and as Jen mentioned have grown up there). There are plenty of non-diving spouses/SO in attendance who...

    Back in the water (& on SB) again

    I was filling out my log book this morning with this weekend's dives and thought I would reflect. I saw note of your name (mid-04) and about 50 other SB members I had buddied with (not including larger events where numerous divers in the water together) over the 11/03 through 5/05 period (about...

    2013 Fallfest Megadive

    Christa and I are lined up to make it. Probably arrive midday Friday to get a dive or two in before Saturday. We'll add something to the list of supplies shortly. No kids this time, all with our respective ex's. Has Ginnie finally got nitrox "safe" fills yet or are we still schlepping up to a...

    Back in the water (& on SB) again

    Hello all, my name is Simon, it's been about 8 years since my last dive, and I have fallen off the no-dive wagon. I can't actually recall how long its been since I was last effectively on here or really last wet (some Paradise Springs dives with Roxanne and Cardzard in 2010? and maybe 2005...

    A New Conch has arrived!!

    Thanks for the thoughts. All is well with Christina and Sophie. Thought i would throw a couple of pics up here as well. Sophie was born 9/11 at 8.51pm at 7lbs 0oz and 19-inches long. She was due on 10/3, but had to be induced a little earlier - she would have been a bit larger at "term"...

    6th Annual ScubaBoard Birthday & Fossiling Beach Bash! June 21, 2008

    Assuming you havent got any plate, cup, cutlery - we have so much of that stuff it isnt funny and can afford to bring enough for everyone without making a dent in our stockpile! ;) We can also add a case of coke and root beer too. We'll probably be there nearer 11ish as we wont be diving...

    6th Annual ScubaBoard Birthday & Fossiling Beach Bash! June 21, 2008

    Just came back and saw that this is this weekend - still havent asked the missus if we are on our way or not.... We are both kind of under the weather with colds at the moment, so that might play into it. Do we have a list of what everyone is bringing so that some of us later to the party can...

    Finally got my own gear.

    So get out and dive!! I went from only doing a few dives a month with rental gear to something like 150 in the first year after buying my own gear - there is a certain sense of freeing yourself to go whenever you want, choose whatever charter or location you want (so long as you can find a...

    Official Ginnie Springs Megadive Thread

    Sounds like you all had a great time. Sorry we couldnt be there. Please dont tell my wife regarding the snakes, even if they arent poisonous, knowing they are by the river close to the campsite would just freak her out - we know there are gators, snakes and spiders etc all over florida - she...

    Avoid Peace River Campground at ALL costs

    Well when i was detained on my way back to the campsite, the owner's wife came out (she was somewhere in her 40's i believe) and then when back at the site picking up Christina, a younger, fitter looking guy, who looked somewhat in control, compared to the rest of the guards, came in and said 20...
