Unoffical Scubaboard Goliath Grouper aggregation dives Aug 21-2 and Sept 25-6

Ha! You can't pass it off already! LOL

I probably won't be in Florida, or even the states next year (assuming things go back to normal).

Thinking JDC on Sunday for me! Depths? Nitrox? Anybody do banked fills? My tanks aren't O2 clean...

The wreck trek, and most of the JDC reefs are 90 feet or less (salt water). They seem to use 36%. No idea where to get fills, in fact that will be an annoyance I sold a set of HP100s (Japanese HP only) and the set I got to replace them have trimix in them. So I might pick up a third HP100 so I can do the JDC 3 tanker.

For the Saturday folks Castor is at 110fsw, so 32% is the recommended mix.

In case I can't work a dive out with Starfish, are there any other good operators in the area? I don't know that area for diving all that well.

Well I am signed up for the Saturday PVD charter. Still trying to get a hold of Starfish Scuba, they aren't answering their phone this morning.

Anyone willing to buddy up with someone who's been diving for a year? I'm looking at August 21. I have my AOW and been to 70-90' a few times in Cozumel.

I'm looking at the website now, do they provide tanks or would I have to bring my own? I'm looking to go diving at Lauderdale By The Sea the week before, but I don't own my own tanks.
