Any Mid-Week Divers Wanna Hang Out with a Noob?

[phree337]

The type of diving doesn't matter to me; just know that I haven't figured out this 'neutral buoyancy' thing yet and feel like a klutz underwater. I think I just need some more experience in the water to get comfortable moving around. I'm a child of gravity!
I don't know what's available as far as diving sites go, except for the springs (and my LDS said that Blue Grotto just had a landslide or something and is not open right now--that's where I did my check-out dives at). I'm just looking for a buddy with the same days off I have. Currently I have 8/13-14, 8/18-19, and 8/22-24 available this month, but school is starting up and I'll be down to every other weekend after that (homework permitting!!). If anybody wants to schedule something for any of the above dates, count me in!!

I just did my check out dives this weekend, Blue grotto is not closed but Vis is lousy due to the runoff from the recent rains. We had to go to Ginnie as an alternate. It was so crowded that we could barely perform our skills test.
We decided we'd do our other tests at devils eye, it was worse, the crowds had so much silt stirred up there was'nt 3' of vis.
Sunday we did a couple of drift dives at rainbow river, now that was entertaining, not crowded and the boiling sand was interesting to say the least. A very good dive.

There are lots of sites offshore of Jax and you can hop a dive charter for about $60 bucks.

Well I might be able to do a late afternoon dive the 18th and 19th. Still gotta work unfortunately.

are interested.
