We were there in September and were told that to dive on the deep side you must have a 2nd air source (dual regs or a pony bottle). They will apparently allow an instructor with a 2nd air source to dive with a studnet without. They are almost paranoid about free flows caused by cold water. We speculated from the stories we got, that too many show up with warm water regs. Our group from Ontario, primarily dive cold water (several of us hope to dive this Sunday and I'll be diving wet) and all our gear is prepped for cold water.
We did in fact stray over the wall down to about 70 feet on one dive, but entered from the shallow end and didn't get caught.

I can't believ you got kicked out of a restaurant in Findlay OH....you damn kentuckians can do anything.
Second, most of the horror stories from gilboa start out with a guy that has 200 gadgets attached to him in some fashion. I have seen some wierd $h!t up there in the past years....I'll have to tell you some stories some day, but they all revert back to lack of training, lack of responsibility, and plain stupidity.
Yes, free-flows have happened at that quarry, but not a lot of people who have had it happen to them have any idea of what to do (I have a story for this too).
Anyway, story time is for JAN, I need to get to bed...it is an early day for me tomorrow...some of us still have to work.

Hey, watch it, Big-T, I'll lace your hot toddy with something evil!
I'm the ONLY normal one! Yes, I'll be there, but as I told Chad, I'm not a morning person, which means I'll be leaving WRAPPED in my blanky, eyelids propped open with toothpicks at 5 AM (OMG), and the bunks are definitely NOT sounding appealing, especially the showers! ut: Hotel for me, but I also have an aunt and uncle in Findley.
