Hi Ivyling,
Welcome aboard! Cathy and I attended our first surge last January in Bonaire. It was, all around, a very grand time. Great diving, good food, plenty of booze (responsibly consumed of course) and awesome people.
Dennis has patented a crystal ball that matches you up with divers of your own caliber and desires. I was hopeful when he described it to me, and then when I lived the results it was amazing. Best group diving I have ever had! We also shift dive teams so that we all get a chance to dive together (for the most part).
What part of Sacramento do you live? We lived in Roseville.
cheers,
