My dive buddy flaked on me. So, I will give everyone who is interested until 2pm Saturday to respond. This is because if I do not get a dive buddy, I will cancel the gear rental at the LDS.

Anyway, we were going to Haymarket, VA.

But, anyone diving within a 50 mile radius of Washington DC, who is interested, please give me a heads up. I need to limit it to 50 miles so that if I tire after the dive, I can make the drive home safely.

You need to be aware that I have not settled the weight issue, and this will be only my 5th OW dive, having just gotten my OW cert two weeks ago.

I do not plan on having a dive consist of me redoing the cert tests, but rather actually diving and experiencing diving for diving's sake.

You can expect me to have issues with weight, and I am not good at navigating so you need to be close, and not push the limits of my knowledge.

Expect a dive from 30' - 60', with slow movement, albeit turbulent.

I will have a 7mm suit, hood and gloves, boots and a rented BCDwith integrated weights.

I am open to a long dive, the limits being rec no decompression dives as long as permitted, using the chart, as opposed to a computer, since I do not have a computer.
 
I would love to go diving tomorrow but my mother in law is coming in from out of town...politically wouldn't be a good move.

I suggest you call The Dive Shop in Fairfax. They run Millbrook and have "fun dives" on some Saturdays and Sundays there. They have the summer schedule on their web site now:

The Dive Shop - Northern Virginia

As of yesterday, today was listed, but it is gone now. May just be because the weekend is here. I'd give them a call regardless.
 
Well I'm actually going to Lake Rawlings, VA this weekend if you want to go with us.... Camping out, losts of divers.... I actually do not have a dive buddy I just go and dive by myself most of the time or help with the Advance class....
