I'm looking for someone to do some diving up at Dutch Springs on May 11th. Anyone interested?

Hi Todd,

I'm interested, but I would be looking to have a skills-refreshing, new-equipment-tuning type day (which could be irritating unless you want the same).

What are you intending?

Mark.

Hi Mark,

That is exactly what I am looking to do. I have a new drysuit, and a few other goodies that I want to play with, as well as doing a few refresher drills.

If you're still interested, send me a private message and we'll talk more.

I'm going up on May 5 to do my skill refreshing/ new equipment adjusting with my dive buddy and Girl Friend. I'm not sure I could get away and dive on the 11th too, since I am doing my wreck class dives on the 18th, but hey, why not. I've go a new drysuit that I want to get comfortable with before heading out in the ocean. Let me know if you are going and maybe we can all hook up.

Ty,

I'll let you know about the 11th. Also, best of luck with the wreck course. By the way, what shop are you using for the course?

I'm using Aquatech in Maple Shade, NJ. They're a Naui shop and I've done most of my training there. They're good people.

Currently have two divers, including myself, and possibly a third. Anyone else interested?

How was the water level at Dutch? I'd heard it was down about 10 ft. But with all the recent rain, has it come up a bit? How was the viz? Need to head up there quite soon to play with some new equipment.

Water level was still down quite a bit. Probably still 10 feet. New platforms have been installed on both sides. Real nice setup, you basically walk onto the wide metal platforms which slope down a little to about waist deep water. You put your fins on and step off the platform. Water temp is 48 degrees. Vis excellent at about 20 - 30 feet. When you heading up?

I'm definitely heading up 6/8-9 weekend, and hopefully before then. It's tough during this time of year, with all the kids' activities. Might have to play hookie one day... Easy for me -- I'm only an hour south.
