The small details..... I just noticed your in Houston. :lmao: I'm thinking about heading out that way for DEMA in October and sandwiching in a trip to the Flower Gardens :) as well as bringing my boots for a little kicker dancing. What boat would you recommend? Any pointers for the Houston area??

:D

Lisa, you have to dive the Zenmaster's boat- the Fling. Here's a post ZD made much earlier in the thread that has a lot of comprehensive info: Diving the Flower Gardens. The more I read & hear, the more I want to dive out there too!

Both of you are welcome anytime. There are a few people that are interested in going at the time DEMA is in town. I am actually looking into this as I am suppose to work the DEMA boat.

Well let me know! You can shoot me an email. I am pretty serious about going. It seems there's one boat for Mon/Tue/Wed and another for just Sat/Sun. Which are you on?

AWESOME LJ. I am suppose to find out today or tomorrow if I am going to be working those dates: October 16-17 (S-S) I had called today to verify and she said it almost positive that I will be. :cool2:

Looking forward to seeing you then as well as this coming weekend.

Hi, had trouble shooting you an email so using this instead....

1. How do I start a topic to see who is going to DEMA? (or can you do it?)

2. Does the FLING have DVD or VHS? Thinking about picking up a movie to bring and leave as a donation for the video library. Any suggestiongs?
