Coming to Balt. MD first week of Oct.

[Turk6482]

Hello everyone,

Gong to be in Baltimore MD the first week of October for a conference. I'll be staying at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel and I'm wondering where (close by to the hotel) I can rent gear and do some diving.

I know it's a little in advance but just tryig to get some info prior to getting there. Also looking for a buddy or two to do some diving then. Will be there from Oct. 2 through the 6th.

Thanks for any help.

It may not be the closest to your hotel, but I would recommend Diver's Den.

Wish I could tag along, but the new wife would disapprove of new gear and trips while we still only have one pot to cook in and my last semester of college to pay for!

Oh well, I'll just take solace in the fact that the Lusitania will still be there when I have the time/money -> training to see her.

I know what you mean about the wife getting upset. Been there and still do that. HAHAHAHA

Thanks for the info, I'll have to call them next week and see what's up in Oct.

The better places to get out and dive are a bit of a drive from Baltimore.

Right across the street from where you'll be staying is the National Aquarium in Baltimore - stop in Saturday and say hi

Aquaventures in Cockeysville is also a good shop.

Diving in and around Baltimore is not that plentiful...Guppy Gulch (a mud pit), Bainbridge (about 2h drive away and a decent quarry). Almost better off driving down to VA Beach for a boat dive!
