Dive and Dine on Feb 10th. Saturday.ABWA

[snepdiver]

We were planning on trying to get in 5 dives... guess that's not going to happen

I would like to do 5 dives. I guess it just depends on getting warm during SI. I think playing it by ear a little is the way to go at this point.

By some standards, they have to be 20' for 20 minutes to be "loggable", and there *is* that platform right around 20' (just swim under it and onto the other side), so...

Wanna play a few hands of ScubUNO?!?

Sure I'm game for some ScubUNO. Meet ya on the platform!

I am willing to give that a go as well. I have never played uno underwater but it is a blast on the surface. That adds a whole new challenge to the game.

Wow Cameron,
That sure is a detail dive plan. My dive plan is usually something like this...
1. Arrive at dive site
2. Remember I forgot some gear, but really don't need those weights
3. Put gear together
4. Turn on air, always a good idea
5. Tell dive buddy to hurry up
6. Ok forget it I'll see you in the water
7. Get in water
8. Descend
9. Where's that dive buddy???
10. Never mine...I'm sure he's fine so I’ll just swim around some
11. Ascend...always do safety stop
12. Throw up
13. Get out of water
14. Where's that dive buddy???
15. Change tank and talk about dive
16. After SI, repeat above for next dive...Anyone seen my dive buddy???

P.S. I'll be there at 0900...I think I'll drive down in me wetsuit to save some setup time
P.P.S Mojospos, stick with me and I'll keep an eye on you...Mojospos??...hey anyone seen Mojospos??? Oh well time to hit the water

Cameron is a planner. He is great to have around. When I dive with him I never plan a dive. He is so thorough it seems like a waste for the planning I do.

I am going to lay my wetsuit on the engine during the ride to Bluewater.

I think your actual dive is going to go something like this....


10:30am: Dive #1, entry
-Descend to 30ft, signal ok
-Descend to 40 ft, hit thermocline, crap pants, ascend to 30 ft.
-Breathe out tank at 30 ft
-Ascend after 3 minute safety stop
-exit at deck #2
-run around like madmen trying to stay warm while somebody figures out how to work the propane heater.
-Huddle together for warmth.
-Realize that there is a group of construction workers laughing at the 6 people in wetsuits piled together like a pack of mating seals.
-Hop in vehicle and turn heat on.
-Thumb next 2 dives.

You seem to have missed an important point: There is no thermocline in the winter... unless you count the air/water interface, but the temperature goes *up* there.

Then maybe I should modify that plan to...

Enter water at 10:30am

Crap pants

Exit water at 10:33am

Here's my plan for the pre-dive.
------------------------------
6:00am - hit snooze button on alarm
6:30am - hit it again
7:00am - crap, turn alarm off. I'm not going and freezing my *** off.
