New gear need a buddy for a test dive

[Jason McK]

I just picked up my new Dry suit, BCD, Reg and would like a buddy to do a quick test dive and then perhaps a real dive afterwards.
Thinking about Sunday 24 July.

Anyone interested?

I'm going out Friday evening 7:30 ish. You're welcome to join me. Whytecliff bay looking for photo ops. Nothing too deep (just maybe long)

Oh Crap I would love to, But I have a commitment I can't get out of (I tried)

I'd be very interested in future photo op dives as I am looking into underwater housings for a Nikon D70S now.

What gear do you have?

Jason,

Did you ever get out there to test your new gear?

 

[Jason McK]

Oh Ya SubaChris82 and I went out.

Had one good dive and one my mask kept flooding. Funny thing the mask wasn't new.
We got it figured out and were able to have a great second dive.
My new suit and BC were great.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. I also got a buncha new gear, Drysuit, BCD, Reg, Tanks & Computer.

Interested in helping me test my new setup?

Sunday & Monday are good for me!

 

[Jason McK]

Sure, It's going to be a couple of weeks until I can get out again.

How much diving have you done?

I was originally NAUI certified with about 34 dives from 96-97, then came out to BC and couldn't find compotent people to dive with & I didn't own gear, so I kinda stopped.

I always intended to get back into it, but then months became years. So this summer I went out and I got a PADI OpenWater cert, now I will be doing my Advanced starting Aug 22nd.

I plan to dive every weekend, night dives wednesday. I own all my own stuff & have 1year of unlimited air, so my point is I want to get somewhere between 50-100 dives in the next 12 months.

I also want to keep up with the training, I plan to get up to DiveMaster, I don't have a buddy currently.

Any semi accurate date when you would be ready?

I wanted to dial in the new setup before my class to ensure there are no hicups.

I am sure everything will be fine, so we could actually do it as a dive unless something goes wrong!

Hey Justin, I hope you don't mind diving with someone with less experience than you? I'm at 17 dives with my AOW.
I was hoping to get out on the 21st of August for 2 dives.

How's that sound.

Anyone else need a dive buddy for that week end we could get a group together and make is a skyhoppers group dive

To be honest, about 30 of my dives are freshwater, cold in a wetsuit.

So I have about 10 saltwater dives, 5 have been in a drysuit.

I just bought all new gear, so I guess it's going to be like learning all over again, so I expect to have to set my weights, learn all my equiptment, settle all the adjustments ect, so I am thinking I will suck.

So really I just hope someone will put up with sitting there watching me make endless adjustments while I more then likely have to look down, thereby flooding my suit. :11ztongue

Maybe on the other end of the spectrum, everything will be perfect

My AOW starts on the 22nd, so the 21st will be awesome, beggars can't be chosers!

Let me know!!

Justin
