OK, I just talked to Steve at Express Divers. 10 1/2 people are paid up at this point...

I'm not concerned with the 10 or 15... I'm a little worried about the half. Will that be the top half or the bottom half?

Wetrat, you're so sweet but I don't want to be a pain. I'll call as soon as I am sure I'll be free... 2 dives or 3.

OK Debbie, sounds good - Hey my students are enjoying the jokes on the OCdiving list - How do mermaids communicate? Shell phones, LOL! Not too many jokes you can tell 5th graders! eyebrow

Hummm... that half would be my wife, who should arrive with both halves in tact. She might suggest that the only body part not on the boat would be our brains, which she believes divers must leave on shore to do what they do - you know, breathing underwater and all. :)

This phenomena, (leaving of the cranial contents upon terra firma while the rest of the corpus submerges on compressed gas,) must be what my DIR/F instructors kept referring to.

They usually made these comments while shaking their heads sadly, and using emphatic nautical language, as sailors are prone to do.

It was mentioned that if we chose to continue this practice, we might be better off joining our grey matter upon the shore, with the rest of the comical circus entertainers.

And then, we tried again. :11doh:

I'm bringing my brain on the boat for the 28th, because it's part of my weighting for the CoG drills. :D
 
Express Divers took my debut VISA info last week, but haven't hit it yet. Do they just put an authorization on it? Or should I call them?

Also, I assume I'll need my din-to-yoke adapter on the boat, yes?
 
its always a good idea to bring the din/yoke adapter if you dont plan on using your own tanks, if your lucky some of their tanks may have the din/yoke valves but they arent too happy when they have to remove them for you, i guess theyre lazy. if anyone needs one i have one someone can use.

They provide AL 80's with yoke valves. If you have a DIN style regulator and plan to use their tanks, then you will need an adapter.

Yeah, I got one.

Note to self: Don't forget adapter!
 
Hey Everybody,

We are now at 15 divers and the charter is full. Rick - Steve at Express Divers says he charges our cards the day before the dive. I am SO looking forward to it! This is going to be an incredible trip!! Now, PM me if you would like to do a third dive - yes or no so I know you saw this post - and I will get back to you on how much it would cost in a few days. I AM STOKED!!:monkeydan
