Great posts. Thanks all. It's been a while since I've been on the forum, but glad to see lots of good topics. We, too, are in the market for FFMs for the team. Since we're volunteer and will be looking for donations and applying for grants and the like, what are the MkIIs going for these days?

Well, I've really enjoyed following this so far, so PLEASE report back when you are all done with your Florida dives. Good luck with the weather, the dives, and the mid-western virgins-who-are-bigger-than....well, they're VIRGINS for a reason, folks!:11doh: In the future I'd love to hook up...

Hey Joe; Yep, serious about the spillway. I'm still working on an alternate date in Feb...probably March. With all this new snow and upcoming runoff, however, I don't know if the Corps of Eng will turn down the tap for us again. We'll see. In any case, still have to get the reg turned down a bit...

All: this is EXCELLENT stuff. I've been hoping to see something on trailer setups as our team has a "blank slate" with which to work. Thanks all for the posts and photos; I've sent the link to our team here in central Iowa (CIUSR) for looks, thoughts, and, hopefully, some action. Any advice on...

Hi, Joe. Well, I met some nice people and did get a dive in. Unfortunately, the boat dive was cancelled and we ended up doing a one-tanker at a place called "Hudson Grotto". I might recommend it if you have no other options. This is a classic sink-hole, but not much different than any quarry you...

I'd LOVE to, but I'm in meetings the rest of the week. Only option for the rest of my week is a night dive if I can hook up with someone.

Good stuff, Joe. If you're ever back to DSM give a call or contact Adventure Diving...we can set up a quick trip to Mason City, or dive the spillway on Saylorville (whoo hoo!). Everyone else: I'm trying to get set up with Tanks-a-Lot for next Tuesday, Jan 15th. Anyone interested? The Cpt...

Hey Joe! I'm in Des Moines (Johnston) and dove a few times in quarries in and north of Mason City. Yeah--diving in Iowa is "limited", but I'm looking forward to getting to Okaboji this year (I dove it once a few years ago). Most of my diving is with the S/R team, though...sifting thru the muck...

Hey, great thread...just what I was looking for. I'll be in ST Pete next week for business and am working it for a dive on the 15th. Just about to set up with Narcosis when I read this. Their calendar has them diving Army Tanks and Spring Ledges on the. Worth the time/effort/$$ or should I keep...

Good stories all, but I must concur with "Cave Diver": thanks for being there. And THANKS to ALL of you! Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the info! We're looking at a trip in February and I'm curious about the diving in that location. I'm guessing vis in Feb is about like anywhere on that side of Mexico. Any dive recommendations? Thanks again for the report, I'll definately keep it in mind!

Great stuff, all! Thanks for the info! Quick: if you only could do one cenote, Dos Ojos or Chac Mool?

Thanks to all! Be Safe and Happy Holidays! Gary--please say "hi" to Wobbles. I'll never forget my intro to the PSD forum! : )

Hey, Gary. It's been several days since you last posted to this, hopefully no gnus is good gnus? Say hi to Wobbles, too!;)

Thanks, Senior Bridgediver! We'll surely keep those things in mind. Looking at a full spray-down of insulation. I may have mis-written the concept of the generator: it will not be used inside the trailer, we will move it outside prior to operating. Probably around the opposite wall (for noise...

Greetings all. The Central Iowa Underwater S/R Team has aquired a "C-Series Flat Top 101" trailer. It is basically an empty trailer that we can configure any way we want. We would be greatful for any recommendations and/or plans for existing trailers of similar size. Basic specs: 101" Wide x 26'...

Hi, Tom. As a newby on an all-volunteer S/R team, it would be great to see part of PSDiver Monthly dedicate a column/article in each issue to some of the basics. Our team has some great instructors and members, but we only have so much time to work together. And actual call-outs are NOT where...

Gary and Wobbles, thanks for taking my massive faux pas with humor. I really enjoy reading your posts and appreciate the insights you offer. If I make it out there, I'd say a cup of coffee at your local coffee house should be on me, no?:)

...and now I see that I've "stepped on it" quite hugely:( . Sorry Mrs. Gary D. (Wobbles) I didn't mean to imply you were either a coffee-mug or a rodent. I'm guessing I will NOT be invited to dive with you should I be in your neck of the woods. Again, my sincere apologies. (Note to self...

Sorry, Gary, I've read almost every post you've written and this is the first I've heard of "Wobbles". I'm guessing that's either your favorite fill-for-free coffe mug...or your pet rat. Please clarify so that I might continue to enjoy the ever-entertaining/informative Adventures of Gary and...
