I fly into IAH on United flight 7772, arriving at 3:56PM. Would be great if I can get a ride.
I need lead, and I need a place to sleep on July 18.

I will send waiver and survey soon.

Happy Holidays!

Doris

I'll also be making my flight reservations at a later date, but I'll be flying into and out of Houston International.

Just so I'm clear on this are we suppose to supply our own tank? If so is there someplace to rent one?

And a hotel recommendation for the 18th.

I'll reconfirm this tomorrow, but I believe if you dive Nitrox then the Spree will provide your tank

and we will get recommendations from our Houston group as to where ya'll should stay on the 18th

Since I never dove the Flower Gardens, I don't know what kind of suit I need. In Key Largo I use 18# with my 5/7 mm and a 80 alu tank.

And please list me for NITROX

It do get toasty out there in the summer!! But it's close to the same in the Keys. Look at these two historical SW temp plots. The first is from Flower Gardens, the second from Molasses Reef

No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.

At that time of the year the water temp is usually in the low 80's.Its pretty warm by the middle of July. Unless you are unusually chilly, a 3 ml is usually fine. Gloves are a must though.( you are anchored and the lines are hard on your hands) They do provide free tanks for anyone diving nitrox. Aluminum 80's.

Excellent!!

you're on the list :cool1:

Hopefully you get my check today, but just wanted to add I will fly in 15th out the 19th so definitely need place to stay the 18th and if any events are being planned pre-trip I could arrive a day or so early....no flight plans as yet. I will dive Nitrox and will need 14# weights. Survey will be mailed shortly! Paula
