.....and don't forget to post the possibility of some of us attending Beneath The Sea in March, in case anyone is interested.

Also, the Lake Rawlings dive scheduled for March 19 which is the same weekend as BTS.

One more thing, I want to get my cavern cert sometime this spring/summer. So if anyone else is interested in doing that with me, let me know and I can plan that trip.

What's Beneath The Sea? I've missed that thread.

Thanks in advance,

Grier,

It is a large consumer SCUBA diving show in NJ. There never was a thread. I brought it up to a couple of people to see if anyone was interested in going. I'm still debating about it.

Here is their website: http://www.beneaththesea.org/

If you go to the bottom of the page under Attendee info you'll see the seminar link.

I have basic site information for the dive, still waiting for this season's pricing.

Site information is as follows

The City of Houston (2 dives Saturday, conditions permitting)
After leaving New York with a cargo of Christmas goods, this 290 foot passenger/freighter encountered a fierce storm and sank in 90 feet of water, 55 miles off the South Carolina coast. Extensive marine life and abundant artifacts make shipwreck well worth the trip.

The Governor (1 dive Saturday, conditions permitting)
This 200 foot Civil War paddle wheeler lies in 80 feet of water 22 miles off the coast. The site offers everything from brass artifacts to Southern stingrays and a multitude of other marine life.

The Hebe and St. Cathan (Hebe, 2 dives Sunday, conditions permitting)
Also known as the Twin Cities Wreck, the Hebe, a Dutch merchant vessel, and the British sub chaser St. Cathan collided during blackout conditions in 1942. They now rest 1/4 mile apart in 90-110 feet of water. This site is known for artifacts, tropical and game fish, as well as Sand Tiger sharks in the spring and fall. Best suited for experienced divers, this offshore site is known for its outstanding visibility.

When would everyone be interested in scheduling another dive up at Rawlings? Sometime late April or early May?
