West Palm Beach Dive - March 5th

[JustJules]

Little Deeper is with Dive Charters International: http://www.deeper-dci.com/

For those of you not familiar with Florida geography, Boynton Beach is about 15 miles south of West Palm Beach, which makes it a nice alternative to West Palm diving.

this past weekend, I was not as impressed. They really "cramped" my style! Having to dive with a divemaster who is either bored or cold is no fun. Our last dive was a mere 20 minutes, and I had LOTS of gas and bottom time left (as did all in my group). Thats why I dive with a computer and NitrOx!!! They could improve on pre-dive information too. I like the freedom and the info given to you on the Loggerhead, but hey, as long as I get wet, I love to dive.

Pete,
Your experience falls right in line with the 3 points I made. It is a good boat for beginners and people unfamiliar with Ocean diving. That is why I recommended the Boynton boats. They are ALOT more liberal with bottom times, and they tolerate my long dives without complaint.

but being new to the job here they might frown on me taking a day off so early. But I will try. It sounds like a fun time can be had by all.

OK - we're 1 month plus 1 day away from this exciting mid-week 2-tank dive trip in West Palm Beach (Tuesday March 5th at 10 AM) - so I figured I'd post and bring this thread back to the top of the list...so far we have the following possible attendees, beside myself:

NetDoc
Bob
Nautical Noble
Swamp Rat
socaldiver (depending on work)

Anyone else care to join us?

For those who have not yet heard... I broke my right pinky toe with a tank... I may be ready by then, and I might not. I will keep you up to date, but I don't want to lead you on either!!!

Ouch!! Sorry to hear about the accident Pete - but it could have been worse - you could have injured your toe at work, instead of while diving!

Hope your little piggy is pronounced dive-worthy by next month!

I live in tampa and i wanted to try the other coast my lsd suggested Splashdown divers. Anyone know anything about them.
I'm going feb 16th

If you are talking about Splashdown in Boynton Beach, I would recommend Loggerhead Charters instead. Same marina, but they are a little more tolerant of long bottom times.

Well, congress just signed my pay check so I suppose I have to go earn my keep. Looks like I'm out. Would have liked to met some of you down there.
