Ok, the schedule (subject to change)

Friday PM - Dive on your own. Mat and I are doing some underwater recon/prep work. The whiskey is open. I may do some floundering (gotta make use of my license).

Saturday AM - Whiskey/Destin Jetties/Pensacola Jetties/Navarre Pier/Paddlewheeler/Boat Trip. Whatever and wherever you want to dive. Gary's Gulf Divers in Orange Beach for air fills/group meet spots, Wherever you dive in FL air on your own.

Saturday PM - More of the Same, Meet at Boil Spot in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores by 5pm (to allow the Remote divers time to dive the tide, and get to the site). Jetties will be close by for those skunked in other areas.
Water will be put on the boiler at 4pm.

Night Dive at the Whiskey/another location for those who don't imbibe. Floundering for those able.

Sunday (Early AM) - Alabama Point Jetties? Or other Shore diving or Boat trip, as interested.
Later AM - Maybe the Alabama Pier or Whiskey Wreck/Paddlewheeler/Other Sites. Even Pensacola/Navarre is not out of the question.
Sunday (3-4ish) - Alabama Point Jetties to catch the incoming tide.

These are the same for-fun dives you would normally do on any given weekend. The crab-grabbing is just an activity to keep us together after the dive.
