Wreckmania # 3

[Natasha]

Last night I was in www.scubaclicks.com (The chatroom part)
Jeff the owner, had a contest and I won a dive slate. Pretty cool huh?
A bunch of divers from this board were in there. I won right before Dee came in, but Submariner saw it, so she can vouch for me! Hehehe
I'll be using it during Wreckmania.

Bring our own weights or are they supplied?

Mike:
As far as the 6 Wreckmania dives, weights, tanks, the boat, and Walter are all included. Nitrox will be more and can be paid when Nitrox divers get there. Afternoon dives have not been included and Walter will be getting a price for the tanks, weights and dives shortly.
Since you're flying in, I think weights would be a lot of extra weight you don't need to bring. If you want to shore dive you can always get them from the shop. Right Walter?

So THAT'S what ya'll were talking about! I've entered the contest a couple of times..so far! Did you enter when the little contest thingy poped into the chat? Maybe that's the secret!!!

I had a great time in the chatroom...I don't usually like them very much. We'll have to do that again.

Charlie, that was perfect. Natasha is collecting everything. She'll be keeping what she needs & sending what I need to me. Keeps it simple for everyone.

I will be sending out medical questionaires & waivers to everyone soon.

Natasha, so you get excited about slates? I recently started making my own. They are curved and strap to your arm with velcro straps. They are also considerably more sturdy than most slates. I'm always breaking my slate, so this is important to me. I'll have some in July if anyone's interested.

DSSW,

Walter: Your slates sound great! I wish I had it for my Cozumel trip in 9 more days. Right now I have a big slate that erases with that bottom thing going across the board. I clip it to my BC so I have even more things hanging everywhere! The arm idea is a good one.
Dee: No, that's not how I won. He actually had dive questions and I got one right before anyone else! Can you believe it? It was on the dive tables. He gave an example and you had to know what letter the answer would put you on the tables. I didn't have my tables in front of me, but I took a stab at "G" and was right. Whoo hoo. I'm not as dumb as I look! hehehe

PS. No checks in today's mail to report.

Natasha...I have this 'thing' for slates, don't ask me why! I've probably got at least one of every size ever made or thought of. One of my favorites is a small one to wear on your arm. It isn't curved like Walters but you may be able to find one for your trip. I think Trident makes them and I've seen them in most dive shops.

Thanks Dee. I just packed my "big one" and I do love it. It's huge and has that magnetic eraser. Know which one I mean? I used in on my last trip in St Thomas. It's easy to read, it's just a schlep if you know what I mean. Yeah, I got a thing for slates too. If I'm not talking or laughing in my reg, I'm writing it down .. Just can't shut up ..lol
PS somehow I manage to take pics while I'm down there too...and play with the fishies.
Sea you in the chat room tonight?

Today at breakfast my husband said," You know I'd like to get wreck certified." I looked up from my coffee, and said, "Oh really?"
So he's taking off in his busy season and coming down to Florida! Put us both down for Nitrox also, since we're getting up to the "Geezer gas stage".
Thanks Walter. Add David. Oh that puts Debbie Chicago in her own room, so only one room left. :sunny:
