Hey, Michelle & Fnfalman - I'm thinking of joining this trip, but if I do I will be buddy-less. Would you two be willing to allow me to join you?
I'm AWO, 150+ dives, mostly in SoCal. I like to bring a small camera, but I'm not a rabid photog who would slow up the team. If we're in a take zone, I'll bring my lobster bag instead and nab any bugs who happen to look nabbable, but I won't abandon the team looking for them.
This is still up in the air...but if I can talk hubby into letting me go, I might just book it. But I don't like to book boat trips unless I know I'll have a buddy.
Feel free to say no - I won't be offended. I know lots of divers who are not fans of diving in teams of three.
