PK august 5th

Jim @ Island Divers might loan you one if you ask nice enough. He has some 5-mils as part of his rental stock and this would do you fine. But I would go ahead and pick up a hooded vest from DiversDirect (for about $30) since this does a better job than just a hood for the same amount.


Also check eBay for wetsuits. I purchased my O'Niel 3-mil one piece for just $64 (w/shipping).

After much research, I plan on purchasing an Xcel 5-mil since that will cover me just about everywhere. As good (or better) as the Henderson brand, but less expensive, and more standard sizes that will achieve a close to custom fit.

We are back in town from Colorado. The boat is ready to go or we can hang around scuba point either one. If we take the boat we will need a flag. Need to talk logistics. Michelle just put in a vote to leave the house no later than 8am.

For you two (and me since I'm bumming a ride), I'd say even earlier, like 7:00am so we can get there and floats the boats at around 9-9:30-isk.

As far as a flag for the boat, I'd reimburse you partially for a larger sized dive flag from Oceans Window or Emerald Sea since you are closer to them than me and the others. And then I'd suggest getting a long dowl rod from Lowes or Home Despot to fly it from. Since we only need it when we are in the water.

As far as launching the boat, I'll check with Scuba Point about launching from there and see if there is any cost for that. Especially since we would be returning there to get air fills and such. It is $15 for the day to dive from there, but I don't know about boats. Or do you know of another place to launch from?

Michael,

Des has already said he can't go. (look up a few posts)If he can get his buddy Charlie to weigh in or speak for him that would be nice. Leaving the house kinda depends on when Rammie shows up to sit the kiddo. Everything else is good.

I got word from Dez that his friend Charlie is a no go. So its just my boat. If its just three or four then thats ok, but more than that and I am really kinda over loaded. So who all is going? We can always hang around scuba point if need be.

Sorry gang, this weekend is a no-dive weekend for me. Family stuff that can't wait.

Y'all have fun and stay safe.

Tom...

So far I think it's down to me, you, and Michelle. I saw Zagnut (Johnny) this evening at the Dillo meeting and he said that he wants to go but he has to arrange equipment first. And he will need to follow us out there since he has never been to PK.

Will post a braodcast style message with our Swamp Diver site to ask everyone who is going to check in with you ASAP.
