Took the winter class at SODA and the TDI Nitrox course over at ASK in Columbus, then headed to Tampa Bay for spring break and back-to-backed the OW & AOW checkouts.
The deep dive for the AOW was about 70 feet in a field latrine - I won't grace the place with any more complimentary name. Wasn't planned that way - was supposed to be a 3-tank wreck dive in the gulf that afternoon/evening, but the boat captain got ran off the road on the way to pick us up and sailed through his windshield and took a ride in the meat wagon. So plan B took over.
Will talk about Plan B offline and only after a lot of "provisions". 'twas a true adventure to say the least
Needless to say, it's been a firehose so far, and I'm looking forward to adding experiences at a sane pace.
61 is probably going to be pretty cool - got in a friend's pool in Tampa and it was about that in late March and it was a thrilling experience. I'm meeting a local over at NSR on Sunday morning to find out.
I'm chomping at the bit for a day trip and up for it just about any weekend or evening after work as the days get longer. Circleville and NSR are the easiest to get to after work (work about halfway between them), but I'm hearing there's a quarry in your area and one across the river in KY. Not sure about the locations but both would be within range after work and definitely on a weekend!
Definitely want to do Gilboa and White Star when they warm-up a bit more.
