What are your plans?

Actually, I've been afraid to ask that question . . . so I don't know if it's just painful, or actually agonizing.

Somewhere between $1500 and $2000. Worth it, though.

Yeah I would guess David and JJ are similar and adjusting their prices slightly depending on the class numbers (2 vs. 3) and possibly where you end up diving/driving/staying.

I'm hoping to start doing some of the wrecks in Nanaimo this May and fundies this July. I'm planning to do a road trip and dive a string of lakes in the Rockies this summer as well. Alas, the closest I will come to tropical is the hibiscus print on my boxers.

Tropical's overrated I haven't seen anything in the tropics that tops Dodds Narrows, and there are no cloud sponges in the tropics!

I agree. Tropical is for those too old to do cold water.

Port Hardy. You need to go to Port Hardy. Makes Dodds look like the tropics.

I have to say the Straits images are some of the best Great Lakes UW captures I have ever seen, I am humbled knowing how difficult that is. Unbelievable vis.

First off for me is the Great Lakes Wrecking Crew's spring M & G next weekend at Gilboa - one of the two times I will go there this season (and no I wouldn't go to the record attempt if they paid me). I do plan on doing some line work there, as my recent cave training has clearly demonstrated that is still my weakest skill set.

After that, I will try to hit some of the weekend wreck trips out Port Sanilac, MI. Andrew from UTD will be heading that way mid June, but alas that is the weekend of my daughter's graduation part. As Sanilac is only an hour and a half from my house I can run up there any weekend the weather looks good.

A trip to the Straits mid July is planned.

And while the date isn't fixed, I will make another long sojourn to Florida back to cave country and the Keys - I do hate being unemployed, but it has allowed me to log a lot dives in the last six months and get aways down the technical training path. If I get enough cave dives in this summer I would love to finish up my Full Cave class in November.

... summer to dive some of the great wrecks up there like the Cedarville, Sandusky, and Eber Ward. I'm just hoping my wife is back up and cleared for diving by that time so we can both enjoy it (hip surgery.)

So what are you looking forward to?
