Hmmm looks like I might be needing to rent some gear.

Oh well it was really nice not to have to carry my gear around the airport.

Oh, yes- it's definitely divable. Looks as if there is some surge out there but no real current right now...

OK... I'm waiting for the Oceanfest trip reports... The board is too quiet... It must have been good.

Ok here I go. This was my first Oceanfest, and I must admit it was fun but very small compared to Seaspace in Houston. I met a few of the Conch Divers at the Oceanfest friday night party hosted by Marvel, and had a great time meeting you guys.

I'm planning on coming back next year if I haven't already moved to Ft Lauderdale by that time.

Give us a break man! Are we not allowed to sober up first???
LOL.

Marvel throws a great party. It was a little too windy, but doable for those desperate for a dive. I think 'cause the forecasters painted such a bleak weather/wind picture, those in attendance opted to hang with other Conchs instead. Always a treat to be with friends, and nice meeting some other SB members. Good thing I saw ya'll on Friday night, 'cause I didn't see many folks on Saturday.
