You have now!

Thanks Dee.

I went last Friday- the "north" end I believe had the best vis. You couldn't see the shark. This was Friday during the day before there was a crowd. Roll call just before going is a good idea. Is there anyone coming from Ft Worth?

I have observed the bad vis conditions on numerous Fridays as well. I won't offer up any theories about the bad vis. The fish stirring it up sounds good to me. In my opinion, I am afraid that this is going to be the nominal visibility at CSSP for the forseeable future.

In general, I have observed that the visibility always tends to be better over by the plane. It always tends to be worse to even outright crappy vis. at the shark.

FWNurseshark, I will be travelling from south Arlington.

Finally got the link - as I mentioned before International Scuba in Carrollton is launching a new dive club, Zero Gravity Divers - they're having a BBQ on the 27th along with specials on DPV and PPB certifications if anyone is interested. I'm currently in my DM program there, so I'll be there for our Meet n Greet on Saturday, and there on Sunday for the BBQ and dive club kickoff.

So whom is 'heading up' this gathering.....and is there a list of those attending,,,,,I am getting on this thread sorta as a late comer,,,,just curious..??

 

[Daylonious]

Organization? We don' need no steeenkin' organization! ;-)

In all serious tho.. would should probably figure out who's got a grill they can bring.. maybe have some volunteers for some brats, buns, condiments, chips, etc... oh yeah, and a few cold beers.....

Well, I guess we have two ways we can do this.. have a lunchtime grill around 12:30ish - (sans beer of course) and maybe get a dive in together, or wait till the end of the day, and have a few brews after the last dive... (for me I'm usually dived out by 4-5pm or so... especially since I usually get there around 9am)

Or do both and just mingle with people as they come around.... any thoughts?

D.,,, I am good for your idea of an evening BBQ (but can go either way). My grill is non portable.....but would be happy to bring some brats/dogs/buns/sodas.

I have a Weber Q portable grill I could bring... it does a great job as long as it isn't windy out.

There isn't really anyone running the show, we're going for that organized chaos feel . I like D's idea of an evening BBQ, that way we can break out the beer for those not going back in. I will also be grilling brats at lunch and I'm sure others will be. I will have my grill with me and anyone who wants to use it is welcome to do so. It can accomodate at least 10 brats at a time and I will be sure to bring extra propane.

Here is a list of people who have expressed an interest in coming, note not all have said they are actually coming.

And since we haven't really asked for a roll call I'm sure many others will pop up closer to the date and some will probably have to cancel.

The 26th works great for me, I'll already be at CSSP working with some classes. Probably going to camp out Sat night at CSSP.
