Jan 30, 2005 - Night Dive w/ Splashdown Divers

[HowardE]

Greetings fellow conchers... I have some friends from Colorado coming down to FL for a week and a night dive was one of their requests.

So... I talked capt Lynn into a Night Dive on the Captain Tony on Jan 30th. The boat leaves at 7PM (as of now) and the price is $52.50 if you have your own tanks. Otherwise it's +$10 for Air OR +$15 for nitrox on top of the 52.

If you've never dived the Captain Tony. Here's a little info http://splashdowndivers.com/wrecks/capt_tony.htm

Let me say that the Capt Tony is COVERED with growth, sponges, coral, tunicates, and orange cup coral... It is an AMAZING night dive.

I hope some conch will join us for a fun filled evening

It is going to be COLD to do a night dive in the winter. You say tanks? Is there going to be a two tank night dive then?

I am waiting to see what my scheldule is going to look like and what the weatherperson predicts.

I agree! Crazy northerners...

Awww... come on... it will be much warmer at the end of Januay... It's like 1/2 way to spring by then.

It gets cold for a few days, and you guys (floridians) think it will never get warm again.

There is a Hot Shower on the boat.

There is a Hot Shower on the boat.

Is that really a good idea given the DCS issues that may result?

Obvious you have never dove cold water.

Thermos's are a standard item for wet suit divers in cold water....

As some like to say, hot water is de rigeur!


Naw, there isn't a DCS issue.

I'm a floridian, and if I haven't lived in florida I've lived in tropical caribean islands. I'm still diving a 3mm full with water temperatures around 72 degrees. Surely those like howard with 7mm suits can be comfortable diving this time of year.
