So Cal Divers come to Ft Lauderdale in August

SNIP...I'm cool for not hunting on this one. Your lobsters have claws, don't they? I wanna see stuff, take pics and dive my face off.K

I'm very cool with that but we have the option. And NO, bugs here are just oversize crawfish and not all that 'oversize' at that.

Of course, being oppertunistic...dive to dive, but if there are bugs...they are dinner!

lol technically you could also pick garden snails or grubs and they're free! OK, I'm exaggerating... they're better tasting than your garden-variety bug. I just think they're waaay overrated and the collecting time/expense is not worth all the damage to the reef.

But - oops - we are threadjacking here aren't we lol...

But that's only becuse your two bugs last year cost $300!

...and all-told I spent about $400 during mini season. Now whenever we go out and they have Maine lobster on the menu I order it regardless of the price... seems cheap to me!!!

Leaving her in FLL is probably not a good idea (!) Count in Jaye, too.

Ok, so there are two of you, when i phoned up on tuesday for the boat trip, there were 3 other reserved places, i assume one was Andy, one was Mike, who was the other person - anyone else from our group?? Adding my two made that 5 in total, do i take it Ken, you and Jaye hadnt booked by that time? In which case that would be 7 total. I am confused now.....

I haven't booked us for anything yet. Just got airfare dialed in last night. Currently working on hotel accomodations in FLL for 4 nights (lots of 4th night free promos right now!)

Looks like we've selected "Brian"...that's Island Adventures, right (I believe mentioned in some previous threads?)

Lemmie know. I can book this up tomorrow (Thursday.)

Yes, Brian at Island Ventures is the man to see. 305-451-4957
As for me, unless somebody wants to "sponsor" me as their personal dive buddy/guide on the reefs, it looks as tho I won't be going to the keys with ya'll...hopefully, I can make it work, however doubtful that might be...

But does anybody *want* to bug-hunt in the Keys that Saturday? My feeling is that the bug hunt boat trip would be better up north here in the Ft. Lauderdale area and we can use the Keys for photos and sight seeing. Please advise!

HA! After getting skunked the last two mini season openings, I'm game for about anything to change my luck, including locals. Count me in as tentative yes while I soften up the missus for another dive day.

Barring any non-sponsorship opportunities, you will hook us up for the FLL local stuff, right? Don't make me fly across the country and not get a chance to dive with the famous Scuba Jenny...
