Lynnhaven Super dive weekend

[RAD Diver]

How about getting in some cheap diving. During their Super dive weekend all their dives are half priced. Or at least that has been how they did them the past 2 years.
Im thinking of the Friday night dive to the Tiger (60 fsw) A 5,992 ton tanker sunk after being torpedoed by the U-754 on April 1, 1942. Except for the point of the bow, there is very little that remains recognizable as a ship. However, the Tiger typically has good conditions and is a popular inshore site, particularly for new divers and students.
Then Sunday to the Ricks (80 fsw) An intact fishing trawler sitting upright. The wreck is covered with all kinds of marine life. This is a good wreck for u/w photography.
Saturday they have a trip to the Morgan, but since I went there April 01 & it seems as we are destined to be there this Saturday May 12, then I believe I will have had my fill of that site.
These wrecks aren't that deep so it should be a chance for all to get off-shore.
They also have a Sunday afternoon dive to the Tug which I have dove a few times & it is a decent not that deep dive. I just prefer to have my diving over earlier on a Sunday so I can get the gear cleaned up & get some rest before work on Monday.
All info on wrecks are from Lynnhavens website.
I guess I should have put dates in this thread. Friday May 18th for the night dive, Saturday , May 19 & Sunday, May 20 for the Ricks.

I would bet that the water is still too cold for me. Later this summer I will definately be up for some local diving.

Daggonit!

Sorry Rad, but I'm taking a youngin to his baseball game on Friday night the 18th, so I can't make that one. Sunday looks good, however!

I'll check with Bill in Nags Head for Saturday....

Put me down for Sunday afternoon. Already paid for a ticket which I need to use, and the tug is probably a good place to start. I'll swing by Lynnhaven and sign up this week. Look forward to meeting some of you finally.

Well if Andy & I head to Nags Head on Saturday to do a couple of training dives for our Advance Nitrox/ Deco classes that will put a stop to me diving Friday night & maybe Sunday, depending on our dive profile's on Saturday.
I might be able to do the Sunday afternoon dive with you Bobby. I would prefer to do the Ricks, I havnt done that yet & it is only 10ft deeper than the tug. Although I dont know if I can get my tanks refilled in time. But I could always just dive singles & get them filled the same time as I do my doubles. What a problem to have, too many tanks to choose from.
Whatcha think Bobby?

Hey Bro:

If we dive with Bill on Saturday, we should be able to get re-filled down there at his shop....

 

[RAD Diver]

Thats cool Andy, but what is his take on the proper fill? Or at least what I consider a proper fill.

RAD, Drewski, etc.
I can only do the Sunday afternoon dive to the tug since my sister will be in town that weekend visiting. She flies out at 1:00 pm, so I should be good after that. Haven't sold the wife on it yet, but I should have some credit since I have cut short a trip to the Bahamas next week (eliminating any chance to dive while there) to come back early and spend time at home. I have been slammed with travel for work lately, but that should ease up a bit in July and August. I really want to hook up with you guys for some local diving, but my schedule is crazy right now.

Thats cool Bobby, if you can make the Tug dive let me know & I will hit it with you also.
