Scuba Forum / General / May 2004Father's Day Dive, Boynton?
Figured I'd toss this one out to you gentlemen south of me. I'd be interested in a day of diving we so richly deserve. Love to get a pair of dives on a boat that has room for 3 tanks, and get a drop on the Hydro-Atlantic, followed by one of Mike's boring reef dives. ;-) Or, something at least near as good, preferably with a boat that will let us do our own dive. Mike? Lee? Dan? Bullshark? Bill? Mike B? Email me. Curtis > Figured I'd toss this one out to you gentlemen south of me. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Curtis Hi folks. I'll be down in Lake Worth starting on Saturday 5/22 and was wondering if anyone is diving Sunday 5/23 (morning) with the Splashdown folks. I might join you. - David David Gintz (formerly newdiver2@aol.com) wrote: > Hi folks.

Also, what do you look at for upcoming weather? weather.com only shows the next 10 days. Thanks. - David David Gintz (formerly newdiver2@aol.com) wrote: >> Al Wells & I will be on Saturday the 22nd.

Saturday 22nd: early overcast burning off by mid morning, afternoon scattered thunderstorms, seas 2-4, water temp 78, viz 60. Sunday 23rd: morning rain and gusty, seas 4-6, water temp 77, viz 50. Obviously, Saturday is the better choice. > David Gintz (formerly newdiver2@aol.com) wrote: > >> Al Wells & I will be on Saturday the 22nd.

(I'd love to know the site, I've only found 10 days in advance). Also, up here in NH, we can only take a 3-4 day advance forecast with ANY credibility - most are really bad. (Yesterday called for rain overnight and through the morning and it's been sunny and clear since I woke up with no evidence of rain at all.) I'd love to know what it's supposed to be in SoFla both for my diving and since I'm hoping to do a "resort" course with Jim Wyatt for my son on the 27th at Looe Key. Jim's reporting that the winds have been high down his way so we might not get that in. As always, thanks for the info. - David David Gintz wrote > I'd love to know what it's supposed to be in SoFla both for my diving and > since I'm hoping to do a "resort" course with Jim Wyatt for my son on the > 27th at Looe Key.

The winds haven't been high, they've been incredibly miserable, consistently out of the worst possible direction, and getting worse. As I recall, my boat's a bit larger than Jims and I can't even get out for some fishing, let alone diving. I'm getting real tired of the wind. Unlike Jim, however, I don't put food on my plate by heading out to sea . . . well, not exclusively.

Cindy and I will be on Splashdown on Saturday morning and on the night dive (if she gets enough people to run), and on Miss Conduct http://members.tripod.com/~missconduct/ on Sunday morning for some of the reef at Pompano. > In article <3c2dnZIH-aYWoAPdRVn-hw@adelphia.com>, "David Gintz > \(formerly newdiver2@aol.com\)" [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Maybe not, I think Mike pulled that forecast out of his a.s.

Curtis > Not Mike and Al.......never! > > I'd be tempted, but reckon I'll have a paint brush in my hand that > weekend. Too bad, but there will be more weekends. I'd like to do the Hydro too. I usually do it with Conrad Nix, who will go with only 2 divers if that's all you have. We're doing the reef on this trip. We're fixing the doubles/deco gear logistics so that we will have gear staged in Jacksonville, so we can easily fly down and go either to the caves or to SoFL on weekends. If you find that can get away that weekend, c'mon down and dive with us. al > Too bad, but there will be more weekends.

Will do, but that will be a busy one. Gonna use a cherry picker to do the second story rather than the tall ladders I used last time, so scheduling is important. Curtis > Figured I'd toss this one out to you gentlemen south of me. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Curtis It's hard to get on the Hydro any more. Nobody dives deep wrecks since the DIR folks put the fear of God in everyone. Lynn always gave the best drops there, but ya'll have to get 4-5 other divers and do it during the week. (OK if I come along on with a single of air?) Or try Richard (561-252-3929) or Craig (561-212-2954). m > > Figured I'd toss this one out to you gentlemen south of me. > > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > week.

If you don't have any luck with Mikes contacts, drop me a line Curtis, I can find someone to drop you on it. Dave. >It's hard to get on the Hydro any more. ..........

Done it with an 80. > Figured I'd toss this one out to you gentlemen south of me. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Curtis I'm interested, but may not be able. My boat club does a couple of fishing tournaments and a dinner right around then and I suspect that at least one of the events will be on that weekend. Since Jayna's running the lady's tournament and my boat will be entered in both the lady's and men's tournaments, I'm not likely to be available that weekend. I'll check and let you know for sure.
