It's football, who cares, your in the wrong thread kids

Football season is over, talk about it next season, until then, it's rednecks going in circles and SCUBA diving for us!

Poor frank.... Ole Miss had a bad year.... again.

Ok... yeah... back on topic... Can we plan our dives in advance? Like where we want to go? Never saw a real answer to that?

+Denotes "advanced" dive.
For this dive, the diver MUST be certified as​

PADI Advanced Open Water (or equivalent)

OR

show logbook verification of two dives to 80ft
or deeper within the past 12 months.

This is their typical dive schedule. It changes based on ocean conditions and majority diver preferences. If you are interested in something else, they will usually accomodate a change. One month in advance, we have to send them the deposit, a list of divers, their experience levels and their diving preferences.

I had seen that. I just didnt know if since it seems we have most, if not all the boat, if we can choose to change those. That was the thought behind the question

Howards going to come back and go:

" w.t.f. ? I thought I started a new thread for this trip?"

 

[utdivermatt]

Actually I bet he comes back and goes:

'why is mike posting on my thread? He isnt good enough to go with us!'

 

[DawgDiver]

I think i'd probably opt to do the Spiegel grove on saturday morning, and do the duane sunday pm. Mix it up a bit, and still get some good reefs in.

We will hardly be the only ones on the boat. They have two boats that hold about 26 people each. The wreck dives would not vary unless the dive had to be called because of weather conditions but they vary the shallow reef dives based on more favorable conditions elsewhere, majority diver preference, etc.

The only thing I think I would really change in Sat afternoon. I would like to see either the Bibb, or the Eagle (I think its the Eagle). Also, Im surprised they dont have any to the Benwood in there. For a shallow dive, I thought the Benwood had more life than alot of the reefs
