Im going on the Fling from the 10-12th of July. Im definetly more prepared than I was last year but no less excited. This year I have my own equipment, my Dan insurance, another 20 + dives under my belt since last year. Also, since that trip I have wanted to take the Nitrox course but didnt have time due to work. I contacted the shop I set up the trip with and I'll be getting Nitrox certified on the trip. This may possibly be my last diving trip of the winter due to travel for my work but it looks like it will be a good one.

My daughter and I are going to be on the mv spree jul 24-28. I went a few years ago, and it was great.
I would highly recommend bringing a backup dive watch and tables. When I went last time, my computer filled with water on the FIRST dive with no warning. Luckily I had a watch and tables. It saved my dive trip.

Bring reef gloves

yes, am bringing gloves. they are thicker than reef gloves, but will be fine. i understand you need them out there for the descents/ascents. do they allow you to keep them on during the whole dive if of course you swear not to touch anything? we bought gloves because when we did our certification dives it was a february, in a 55 degree murky lake, but everywhere we've been since, gloves have not been allowed.

Yes you can wear gloves...the whole time.

Fastmarc,
The Myth Busters on the Discovery Channel did a show on motion sickness pills and they gave favorable reports for the Ginger pills. Hope that helps.
