Granted, its a little early, but it still looks good. If you can break loose, you can find out who is going by looking in the Gulf Diving website and contact those shops to see who has openings.

If this forcast sticks, it doesn't get much better than this in the spring.

I read that report this afternoon. I am on the Spree this Friday. My fingers are crossed it holds and I am actually thinking about packing BEFORE Friday at 12 Noon!

I had a forecast about like that for the Feb 18-19th trip and Gulf-diving's paid forecast site projected 8ft seas so they cancelled on me...rolled it over to Mar 25th.

The weather can change in an instant. Heck, meteorlogists right here in our backyard can not even predict correctly from the 10:00PM news to the 7AM newscast. Well I am still hopeful and I am packing like I am going. If not I have some other plans lined up this weekend. Troy and I are celebrating 12 years of marriage on Sunday ! I hope to be diving on Stetson Sunday, but if not well I will try and think of something!

Looks like the seas may pick up a bit on Sunday. Hopefully after dive #2.

Happy aniversary - Enjoy.

Now that's a cool chart! I love the graphics. Yep I am noticing a change this morning in the forecast and I have also seen the "weak cold front" yuck, that's bad news. Well my fingers are still crossed!
