Monterey Meet and Greet - October 2007?

[sarita75]

ooooohhhhh it sounds like a SB WEEKEND might be shaping up here!!

Any suggestions on where to do a Night Dive? Breakwater perhaps? Okay, I am going to get a second thread going so that we don't confuse the events for the 2 days.

hey brad, i'd love to do a day dive on sat. just let me know when you plan to be in monterey. you can lead the dive this time to keep me from speeding off.

Hehe, when I plan to be in Monterey... Sorry, I live in Monterey, so whenever is good for me. It's a 5-10 minute drive to Breakwater for me. That is depending on traffic. Oh and Chuck will tell you that my navigation skills underwater aren't stellar. I definitely need to work on it. I do get us back to shore though, whether it's shore 200 feet down the beach is another matter. I'm getting better though.

The breakwater night dive I went on was pretty cool. My only thing to add is that the fishermen at Breakwater have a tendency to snag divers, purposeful or not. I thought it was just rumor until it happened last weekend. Poor student diver got snagged and while the student's instructor was trying to figure out what was wrong, a diver from our group had to cut the mono filament.

Okay all - I posted this earlier but as the 7th is fast approaching (and I am uber-excited) - I need to get a better idea of what everyone is planning on doing, who's coming, joining us for potluck and/or dinner, etc..... So please post and let us all know!


As previously posted:

.....Here's the rough schedule:

Point Lobos opens at 9 AM. So, we were thinking of being there around opening time. First dive around 10:30 AM as a group (whoever wants to go out). Doc Wong suggested the site “Hole in the Wall” – which, not knowing any better, sounds good to me!

Doc Wong will shepard us out to the site and will be making a video as well. Huzzah! Everyone will be able to see how completely awe-some (!!) they look underwater.

During the surface interval, we can have a potluck lunch. So everyone (who wants to) can bring something to share with the rest of the group. If you want to do the potluck thing, please give us an idea of what you are planning on bringing (or avoid a “traffic jam” of cookies, etc).

The second dive will be at your leisure – you and your buddy. There will be no formal arrangement although people are, as always, able to whatever-the-heck-they-want-to!

Doc Wong is going to try and find a restaurant for dinner that evening where he can show his masterpiece video of us diving. Please let us know if you are going to come to dinner as we will more than likely need to have a reservation count. ***

RSVP Items:
(1) Will you (and/or your buddy) be participating in the potluck lunch? If so, what will you be bringing?
AND
(2) Are you (and/or your buddy) interested in joining the group for dinner that evening?
