I'll update this first post as a running synopsis of this thread.

For a complete list of all of the Mo2vation dives for the 2006 calendar year, see this thread:

http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=123220

When:
Saturday, February 25th

Where:
The Spectre - Captain Ted Cumming
1559 Spinnaker Dr., 105B-59
Ventura CA 93001

Directions (click here)

For reservations call:
866-225-3483 - Toll Free

Destination:
Anacapa Island or Santa Cruz depending on conditions (4 dives)

Trips to Anacapa/Santa Cruz leave at 7am, you can spend the night before on the boat.

The boat returns at around 5:30 pm.

Cost:
(includes food and airfills)

$105 per person

Don't wait until the last minute to sign up for any of these boats.

Remember that each of these boats is working on filling these open boats just like we are. If a shop comes along in February that wants to fill an October boat and we have only taken 3 spots. The rest of those spots will be sold. That's the only way that we can work with these boats and not make a financial commitment to them up front.

I've already given my credit card number to all of these boats to hold a spot for me. Keep in mind that they only use the card to hold the spot and will only charge it on the day of the trip, so if you book these trips now for the whole year, you won't be charged for a year's worth of boat diving all at once.


What is the Mo2vation Dive?

This is a monthly gathering of all divers in SoCal who can make it. Of course, if you are visiting from some other region, everyone is invited!

It was named after our SoCal member Mo2vation because of his love for boat dives and all of the friendly jabs he takes at our monthly Wrinkles Beach Dive and BBQ. :D

We welcome both ScubaBoard members and non-ScubaBoard members that you know. It's open to divers of all skill levels from "What's an anchor line?" to "Do we really have to dive the Andrea Doria again?"

This is a great way to meet our fellow divers and make new dive buddies! You don't have to have a buddy to participate, lots of us would be happy to buddy up with you.


RSVP:

RSVP on the ScubaBoard Calendar once you have a confirmed reservation:

(you can now rsvp and include your guest count for your non-ScubaBoard buddies!)
Please sign up on the Calendar and update your party size on the calendar with changes, so that we can compare our list with theirs in advance and make sure that there are no discrepancies.

Let me know if I've misrepresented anyone's confirmed reservations here.

I've got reservations on the Spectre for Anacapa on February 25th!!!

Captain Ted reports they had a fabulous day of diving Anacapa on January 14th, with many more sea lions then they've seen in years past at these sites.

Don't get left standing on the dock! I'll see the lucky ones on the deck.....
 
I just called and confirmed myself for the dive. I am looking forward to it.

Hi Mark! Great to hear you'll be aboard. I'm looking forward to seeing you again, and diving water we can actually SEE through!! No cinder blocks required, either.... oh, man, what a night THAT was :11doh:

Anacapa, here we come :D

Dang. I'll be taking a freediving class this weekend. One of these days I'll be able to make one of these boat trips...maybe April :sad_2:
 
I've just made this thread sticky since it is the next boat dive in the Mo2vation series.

As you all saw with the January dive aboard the Peace, these boats can and do fill up quickly with people from other groups. Unfortunately, not everyone who wanted to go from ScubaBoard made it on the boat.

Make sure you make your reservations before the Spectre fills up.

See you all soon!

I signed up. I may sign up for the Sunday open boat too, if anybody is considering that as well.

We've got a nice little group going for this Mo2vation Boat dive on the Spectre!

For those of you who have not signed up but are planning on attending on Feb. 25th, it's just over a week away. So be sure to call and make your reservation. I think that there are still spots left on the boat.

I'm really looking forward to it, since I won't get to do any diving this weekend. I've got to move forward on my construction at home this weekend.
