Wrinkles October '06 Dive Planning Thread - Laguna Beach

[headhunter]

I'll update this first post as a running synopsis of this thread.

When: Saturday, October 14th
Where: Orange County, Heisler Park in Laguna Beach


What is the Wrinkles Dive?

This is a monthly gathering of all divers and non-divers in SoCal who can make it. It's a lot of fun involving diving, eating, socializing and sometimes even camping!

It all started when our SoCal member, Wrinkles, mentioned to a group that she dove with that it would be really fun to be able to get together at least once a month. Pasley, took off with the idea and announced the first "Wrinkles Dive". The rest is history!

It's open to everyone of all skill levels from "I'm not certified yet" to "Do we really have to dive the Andrea Doria again?"

We've found this to be a great way to meet our fellow divers locally and many new dive buddies have been found though these "dive soirees".

Hey Christian, You're NOW in my neighborhood!!! I can bring Bratwurst and Potato Buns, in addition to my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies....Yummy!

Anyone up for a Sunrise Dive??? Will have to check times.

 

[Robert Phillips]

I'm taking the day off from this one... And damn the wife, I'm turning my phone off! Or maybe I'll just not tell her and make her think I'm at work.
I'll bring water and tongs/spatula.

Hmmmm...how about some tasty Saurkraut? Deli Mustard? Relsish, pickles, hot peppers? Tomatoes, Lettuce, sweet red onion?

 

[Kelpmat]

Sign me up! The September dive was great: good food, good company, and good diving (crappy mask strap, but so it goes); I can't wait to do it again.

I'll bring the chocolate cookies I brought then; they seemed to go over well.

P.S. I was good to meet everyone. If I don't see you in the water before then, I'll see you on the 14th.

Kim. Don't BUY pickles. Take mine from the last event. I don't eat the nasty lil things so they will only go to waste in my fridge.
