I will tell her happy Birthday from all the looney birds. I will also give a trip report. Have a safe dive this weekend and I will come up in the next couple of weeks to dive with the looney's again.

I wish I could make it, maybe next time. I was talking with the kraken, and we may either try to make the vortex meet an annual thing, or even try to do it again in the late fall. I hope you guys have a great time down there, but I kinda have a feeling that vortex is going to be a little over packed with divers that weekend.
Dive long and dive safe.

Its always overpacked during the summer thats OK though.

Theres a MegaDive in Central FL at the end of October at Ginnie Springs. You guys should head down to cave country for that. I should be there again(its bi-annual, I made it for last years fall Megadive, but have missed all the spring season dates). Great fun with alotta great FL SB'ers.

hey kylepreid, I may have a chance to dive Lanier Sunday. I was planning on diving Jocassee Sat. but my friend had something come up. I also just got a new pst 130 today so i'm really wanting to see how it compares to my alum. 100. I've dove lanier probaly 10 times but never redneck reef. Anything special or just typical lanier? what depths? Reply if you don't mind me tagging along. Thanks

Come on out, we would love to have you dive with us. I havent dove redneck reef yet, this will be my first time too. The reason it is called redneck reef is that there is a bunch of lawn art sunk at about 30' straight out from the ramp at the day use area. I dont plan on going very deep, im only bringing my 3mm, so I want to try and stay above the thermocline. Hope to see you out there.
