Let me clarify a little - I think I might have offended someone who has contacted me about this trip through a PM. I wanted to post this publicly however.
Yes, I put in the OP that we need a third to make the boat run - without thinking. The boat requires three paying divers to run. However, in my limited experience (just under 50 dives), diving 3 different locations that I have never dove before, with one of them a twilight dive, and one of them a night dive, I do not feel comfortable doing a 3 person buddy group.
If I offended anyone with my remarks about not taking a third diver into my group, I apologize. If anyone felt I was misleading in my original post, again, I apologize. All three of these dives (planned sites anyway) are 70'+ and are new to me. While I am more than comfortable diving them with my normal buddy (wife), I do not feel comfortable in any way to add a third diver to the mix in these circumstances.
