Do you dive Jim?

Nope!

I am fighting with my schedule right now, but if the conditions are good enough id say Coral Street. Otherwise McAbee... would be kinda cool if it was McAbee and we could work out a way to dive from there to Breakwater and figure out how to get all the gear back. Hopefully I can make it, but I have to deal with a work conflict.

I won't be able to be there for this, but the idea of doing a dive from McAbee to BW sounds very interesting if logistics could be figured out. There is a lot of very cool terrain in between the two and I would love to explore it someday.

No big deal, we leave a truck at the BW and take another to McAbee. No different than when I would drift fish the Kenai River back in Alaska. Only this is a shorter drive.

Sounds like a good dive we should do it.

I am not opposed to do this but am concerned about newer divers and people who have higher SAC rates and might have a long surface swim. To me, this is a dive that is better done in smaller, dive team groups and where the divers know each other and these nuances a bit better. That's my 2 cents. I am really not interested in leading that dive so if someone else wants to step up for it and explain the 'possibilities' that could result - then that's great.

Perhaps some divers could go try it out and report back

 

[sarita75]

I have actually decided to do it with a small group but not until after the M&G. So still - its up for grabs.

 

[Anti-Hero]

Are we talking about a MacAbee to BW drift? Or vice versa? That sounds interesting indeed, but not really for the M&G. I think there will be too many people to keep track of.

 

[sarita75]

Yes, the discussion was re: MacAbee --> BW drift - but I would concur - too many peeps.

Oh yeah, sorry for the confusion. I didn't mean we should do it for the Meet and Greet. I was refering to another time, with a smaller group like you said.

Gracias for the clarification Ron!
