Mighty O in August

[K Mejean]

Git-R-Dun I dove the "O" last August. Great dive. Don't wait too long to make your reservations we barely got on a boat. It is a long day you might want to wait until Sunday to drive back.

I'm going to wait. After hearing from a few people how long of a day it is I changed my mind on the whole marathon day. I will just get some sleep and then drive back the next day.

Hey Y'all. I got a little bit of an update. I got a PM from a boat operator that has a 6 pack boat. I am going to get with him this weekend and see what availability he has and prices. Are there any dates that don't work for you guys? I am thinking the weekend of the 23rd but I still have to check my schedule to be certain.
So far we got
Scoobahdood
Johnny Bravo
Me
and Chugger is a maybe.
Anyone else?

Depending on the price, I would like this too. My only problem is I would have to be back in Pinellas by like 3pm for work Sunday.

What are the dates exactly and where are you boating out of? I might be interested in making a trip down from Jackson MS to dive the "O".

I might be interested as well. I just need to see what happens with the new house we are getting.

OK here is the deal. I talked with MBT Divers out of Pensicola today. We can have a 6 pack boat for Saturday the 23rd. The cost is $150 per diver. There is a chance that it will go up a little if fuel keeps going up. They said it shouldn't go up more than $15 to $20. So the plan is to leave here Friday night and drive up. Go out there and do a 2 tank dive on the Oriskany. Chill out Saturday night and leave bright and early Sunday morning to get back. ( Bandit 3:00 won't be a problem )
I haven't locked down a room yet so I can't give you those costs but I will as soon as I get them. So let me know who all wants to go and we can get this done!!!!!
