Congrats to Scuba Q

[Steven Millington]

I've had some great tech 1 dives on the rigs. For a newly minted Tech 1 diver, the rigs offer plenty to look at throughout the entire dive including deco. Not a waste of gas or experience in my opinion.

I also like the above list - each has something cool to offer.

I think I just threw up a little bit.

How about: Moody, Palawan, Ship Rock (as mentioned), Cape Charles, Santa Clara, the caissons, Hogan, Vet's Park P)...

You West coasters are so spoiled with your plethora of dive sites

What did you see at 150' that you can't see at 100' (other than way less fish and no sea lions)? If you want to deco the rigs, take 32% and O2. You'll see more and save a ton of cash.

Fat single of 32% and a scooter is the way to go on the rigs, IMO.

Looking forward to diving with both of you in the future, although perhaps not this weekend as I seemed to have picked up a head cold from somewhere.

Well, that's three out of four, only Bob's left.

Congratulations Charles & Quintin - awesome job!

Where are we going for your first Tech 1 dive outside of class? Oil rigs? Ship Rock?

Looking forward to diving soon.

Best,

Thanks Steve looking forward to diving with you too.

I know Vet's Park was a joke...right?

That all sounds really good. Q; go check it all out for us so you're ready when we invade SD

Working on it Henrik, working on it.

I was mostly playing with Steve. I had fun on the rigs... that one time. Like Chris said, though, most of the "good" stuff was in the shallows.

I guess I'm just more of a "wreck" guy than a "metridiums on steel rods" guy.

They can offer some pretty stellar viz. I swear we had 80 feet out there (and probably more vertically).

I actually enjoy diving the oil rigs whether shallow or deep. I look at it as one big gigantic wreck. More than anything, I think that I enjoy exploring new (to me) structures whether manmade or natural. However, my standards are probably lower than you guys in terms of objects to dive, viz and conditions to enjoy a dive. I wouldn't necessarily take anyone's word on how enjoyable or not a dive site is. I'd go down and figure it out for myself. There are so many sites that if I listened to other people poo poo, I never would have gone and explored them myself and had great dives in the process. To each his own...
