    Ditto. I have the same question for a trip I've got end of next month. I was really hoping to do more than 8 minutes in the Blue Hole after a 2 hour ride out there. Is anyone running tech trips out there? Thanks!

    Now come on Jack. I don't mind showing Mike where the bugs are, it will be up to him to pull them out. All he has to do is get them before I do! ;) Mike, you're welcome anytime. Lobster, scallops, mussels are all my favorites but we have a lot of guys spearfishing around here too...

    They are calling me to the Dark Side. Thanks for the great pictures, Eric. Now that Bob is done dismantling my gear....anyone want a good deal on a barely used Dacor Rig Pro BC (size Lg) or a brand new Oceanic Data Pro Plus with only 5 dives on it?

    Dutch Springs Get Together (April 11-13): Final Preparations

    Hot soup is only for the cold water season. Wait till you've tried my "made to order, gourmet steak burgers" (we also do soy burgers for those non-meat eaters ;) )

    Dutch Springs Get Together (April 11-13): Final Preparations

    :eek: Oh NO!! I get to be humiliated again?;) Good thing I LIKE abuse. Honestly, Bob was very gentle and I did ask for it. For the record, he never once used the "S" word. I think that was very kind of him.

    Dutch Springs Get Together (April 11-13): Final Preparations

    There never was anything to forgive. I asked for it, and Bob was kind enough to show me. You never learn if you let your ego get in the way (besides, mine was due for a good trim) ;) I too, want to thank Bob for his help. He gave me some excellent pointers on my gear and configuration...

    Thanks for the info tg and Lead. Yes I did leave it to the last minute but that's when I found out I was going. I'll do some more homework quick and finalize my plans. Aquatic Safaris did get back to me today and let me know that they have room on the 19th for the Hyde/Markham trip. They...

    Recommendations to Dive in NC?

    Like Gyselle, I'm looking for suggestions for diving SC/NC. I'll be there Easter week. I'm coming down from the cold and frozen north (Jersey coast) and looking forward to water above 40 degrees. :eek: On Bradford's recommendation I just sent an e-mail to Aquatic Safaris for their boat...

    Bare Supra Dry

    I bought the same suit last September for basicly the same reasons. I've been diving it ever since. My LDS charged me $700 and of course threw in the Dry Suit speciality course (PADI). Overall I'm satisfied. I usually wear sweat socks, swim suit and tee-shirt under it. The socks and...

    Dutch Springs Get Together (April 11-13): Final Preparations

    Sorry, Dan the penninsula is a RIGHT turn when you enter the facility then follow the road around to the left and down the hill. Last saturday we were all able to leave our cars parked down on the penninsula as there weren't that many people there. If it does get crowded then we will still be...

    Dutch Springs April 2003 ScubaBoard get together - interest?

    and I was only away for one day... O-ring: I'm next to try that limited vis mask. Didn't know they made such a thing but if it works I want/need one! ibnygator: 10 mil torso should be fine. You'll probably feel the cold in your hands or head first. Hot water in the gloves helps for a...
