All my dive buddies are going out of state for Christmas, will you dive with me?

[wdunne311]

My regular buddies are either out of state or busy over Christmas, so I was wondering if any of you fellow Scubaboard members would like to dive over the next few weeks. I'd like to get in a lot of diving from 21 Dec 07 thru 6 Jan 08. Here are the dates I'm available assuming weather is ok.

21-22 Dec 07
Late afternoon/night of 26 Dec 07
27 Dec 07
Possibly 1 dive on 28 Dec 07
1-6 Jan 08

I'm actually diving 23 Dec as well but it's a boat dive that's been planned for a few weeks. 24-26 Dec will be a surface interval with my mom who doesn't dive. I'm diving the Channel Islands 29-31 Dec and we should get back late on the 31st if all goes like it did on the last 3 day Truth Aquatics trip I took with enough time for me to catch a New Years eve dive with the Kelp Krawlers that night.

As far as experience, I guess I'm technically a fairly "new" diver since I got certified in mid June, but I'm close to 60 dives since then, so I'm very comfortable in the water and have all my own gear (including tanks--still diving a wetsuit though...my drysuit instructor came down with pneumonia, so I have to hold off on the drysuit course for now). I just finished up my rescue diver course too.

I'm up for whatever. The deepest I've dove is 100 feet (although most diving I've done is between 50-80 feet). I'm newly Nitrox certified. If you'd like to do a boat dive on one of those days, I'm good with that. I just want to dive. Been going through withdrawals over the past few weeks. Hopefully the weather will play along with us.

Hey Wdunne - don't forget to take a surface interval or two in there and gas off

Depending on what happens in the next day or two - I might have some time after the 3rd to come down midweek. I'll let you know via PM when I know better.

Have a Merry Christmas with your mom!!

I have a feeling the weather won't cooperate on all those days. I've also got lots of pictures I want to take with my new camera lenses. Maybe I'll actually go see what Pt. Lobos is like above water. And Friday looks orange...I'll probably go take pictures of the waves.

Did you get my PM about the times? Sorry I don't have a phone at the moment, I'll give it to you want I get a new one.

I have Dec 26-Jan 1 available, don't really have any plans. If you want to dive the Sonoma coast with a DIR dood come on up!

The forecast for Dec 22 looks promising.

 

[wdunne311]

Yeah....I was looking at that, however, I found out today that I have t work Saturday 22 Dec from 0545 to 1745... Sunday I have a boat dive (if the weather/conditions somehow don't seem as bad as they look on the forecast). Might be able to do a night dive.
