2.6 on the wave height with a 5 sec interval isn't too bad, but I don't know what it's projected to turn into either.

It's warmer in the water than it is out.....

You can also check the Gulf Diving website for the full schedule for both boats. Prices vary from $395 for a Thursday/Friday trip to $445 on Sat/Sun on the Fling (add $65 for Nitrox) or $550 for the Spree (Nitrox Free).

Ok, I am going to ask a stupid question. Why is the Spree so much more if they are going to the same place? I understand the free Nitrox but even if you pay for the NITROX on the Fling it is still cheaper. So what gives?

 

[Jay_SMART_Diver]

10 less divers on the boat is worth the extra $40 for me. Makes the dive deck roomy and spacious.

They just remodeled the boat too

There is also a wet head on the dive deck. If you don't want to go inside the salon to use the potty you don't have to. You can strip half way out of your wetsuit and go.
