Let's dive in Ft Lauderdale!

[Reef]

Alright, I got out of the CPR class. I am ready to go and will prolly make my reservations tomorrow afternoon. I still have to see if Robin or Tod will be coming with me.

At least III's BC will have some fun this weekend.........

Excellent! Another biker, oh I mean diver.

What's wrong with your Cressi? Just curious since I have the same one.

There are a number of reasons for looking to switch from my Cressi "flight control" BC.
1) The pockets are tiny to not useful for anything
2) Very bulky and takes up a lot of room in a dive bag on airplane. (trying to get the size of dive gear minimized for flying.
3) Manual inflator hose is stuffed into one of the pockets. Not easily accessible. (also consuming very limited pocket space)
4) It is in my opinion about 4lb positive bouyancy (with a BP/Wing and a steel tank I am hoping to reduce my lead requirement)
5) Cannot carry doubles or be modified for more advanced diving in the future.
6) Large weight pouches get in the way when spearing. (Especially when full diving 22lbs with a semi dry suit in 62 degree water)

Other than that it is a nice BC. I have about 210 dives on it without any problems. I will keep it as a back up for awhile.

I can't make Saturday's dive as my boss it taking me to Cirqu de Soliel that night. But I am thinking about joining you on your beach dive. I have only done BHB once and it was great. Let me know if you all are getting together for dinner Friday night over here. I am only a couple miles from where you are staying and might join you.

Oh I love the Cirque. I've been there at least a dozen times and still enjoy that show!

I'll be in Colorado:cool2:

There is something in Colorado more interesting than diving in Ft Lauderdale?

Cold, cold, cold stuff is all I can think of.

I am planning to head to Ft Lauderdale area in April (4 days) with some buds we were looking to dive in Pompano area. We have never dived in this area, and are not from the area can anybody tell me a good dive shop that offers guides with the dives? Most shops have advised me they drop you off and if we wanted guides we have to pay an additional $75.00. We are looking to do some rec dives 40-60 ft.
