Okay so I watched the video. And I now I am a bit nervous. Those were some pretty big sharks. and I don't have my wreck cert and I'm not sure how I feel about penetrating some parts of the wreck. - they looked a tad tight. And did I mention that the sharks looked rather big - what if they think I look like a tasty snack? :)

:-D :D :cheerleader: :fish2: :fish2:


Gwyn, dear. All sharks are big :fish2: They won't chase you unless they see an easy meal when your spear-fishing. You don't have to penetrate... there are swim throughs too. The best thing about this trip is all the funnel cakes and junk food you can indulge in at the festival. :D

I just noticed BW that I owe you the balance for the trip. It's on it's way. Along with the tip from Flower Gardens.

Gwyn that footage had a big opening where the wreck was torn apart and you can see into it. Most will not go into the wrecks at all. In fact most don't allow you to go into them...simply survey them. As for the sharks...they look big but they really aren't that big and they are a harmless species. Trust me...you can dive with me if you like! It will be easier than the Flower Gardens!

Fabulous! I will put you on the interested list.
I hope you can go this is such a great trip..

I wish I could go every year. Diving the historic wrecks and of course the Sandtiger sharks make this one of my all time favorite places to dive..

Sorry I will take 100's if they are still available. Have you gotten any flight information out of NC to CA. I will be flying into NC and then out to CA. I don't know if that makes a differance.

Ok, I'll update your request to include 100's...do you want to dive Nitrox as well? I'd really recommend it due to the depth and the number of dives

I had a blast on the 4th - count me in for this one. I'll get with Kamala on the payment. I'll need rental tanks but that's about it.

Important Trip Update:

Being a holiday weekend for the local area (NC Seafood Festival) the prices are higher and there will be many people in town that are not divers. To offset this I've secured 18 spots in the Olympus Dive Lodge for anyone that wants this option. Pricing will be about 50% less than a standard hotel ($30 per night d/o including taxes vs. $65 a night d/o in a regular hotel room.)

The Lodge offers several advantages including walking access to the boat which will be particularly nice during a holiday weekend. The rate is half which is nice but it is also a shared accommodation with up to 30 other divers if completely full which is rare. The layout includes individual rooms with 4-8 bunks in them and then large shared common areas with a full kitchen and lounge area. There are 3 showers for the men and 3 showers for the women. You will need to bring sheets, towels, blanket if needed and a pillow. For fly in divers we can do a walmart run to pick these items up and a number of our drive in members have offered to bring extra sheets and pillows. OTWDiver will be on this trip and will also bring extra linens for fly in members. So if you want to make it work we can. :lmao:

OR...you can do an upgrade to a traditional hotel room. I will release all but a few of the rooms since many have already expressed interest in the more affordable accommodations. Currently SD is the only one booked in the Lodge but we may end up with a few other single and solo travelers who may be on other boats but will certainly fit into our group! :D

So I will get this pricing posted shortly to reflect the lower cost option of the Dive Lodge.

If there is anyone interested in this trip that for some odd/random reason can only dive friday and wants someone to take their spot saturday/sunday I would love to go but can't get there until LATE friday night, so can only dive saturday/sunday....

Just a thought for anyone who might just be coming through town on their way to something else that weekend....

Ok so you want to find someone for Friday only so you can do Sat and Sunday? I'll also ask the shop for some last minute referrals! This may work! :)
