That will be August 20 - 23. Of course, some of us are always diving someplace and you're always welcome to join in.

Marvel you are an awesome party thrower and hostess. I had a very nice time meeting everybody and especially getting that night dive in. Very cool.
Wesley, congrats on your first night dive. Glad you had a good time.

Hey gang...howdy from texas! Sounds like you all had a blast!!! I sure wish I was there with you all! I wanted to be with you all in spirit so I attempted to do some diving this weekend too...yep...here's what I did:

Waded gingerly into the backed up emails from being gone so long...then dove head first into bills...man I had to fight some mean ones off! But none were as mean as the dust bunny 'sharks' I found swimming around my house when I attempted my own cleanup dive! Then came the surface interval between the first dive of the day and the second dive which was on the USS Shadduck Office Battleship! She used to be a beautiful office in her prime but various explosions and recent dive trips have left her in shambles...but at least she is a decent wreck dive...I even found some great goodies I'd lost on her awhile back! I feel I'll have to dive her again...too much to see and do...not nearly enough bottom time!

After the wreckdive I did a fairly long surface interval working out...I know you aren't supposed to exert yourself when offloading nitrogen...but the risk was small given how I hadn't really absorbed THAT much of the stuff anyway!

I opted to do a night dive into my laundry getting loads of it done...literally and FINALLY got the dive gear cleaned up from the previuos put away where it belongs!

I did sneak in an awesome night dive into a friends wedding that was wonderful! The wedding was performed as guests drank and sat around tables listening to the most incredible private jazz playing I'd ever heard. After the ceremony the full band played the evening as guests many of whom were divers...ate, celebrated and danced! Although it was a glorious evening...all in all...I'd rather been diving with you all!!! But hopefully I'll see you all in August! -ww

Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye to everyone in the water - ocean and jacuzzi. The quarters were gone and the meter maid was circling. It was great to meet those of you who I've not met before and great to see those friendly faces again. Hope to see you all again in August, if not before!

A big :evilgrin: to our hostess Marvel! You sure know how to put together a winning day.

:evilgrin: Marvel for hosting this event!!!

It was beautiful day from the sunrise, to sunset, even fireworks. The cool evening breeze and star lite sky was a beauty to behold.

The divers represented provided so much information as each one spoke of their experiences, gave me tips, and shared their discoveries. Walter helped identify the days findings, Cynthia made sure no one dehydrated, Mike gave us first had safety, Kevin's put me at ease regarding diving, Nextariel gave me some neat tips regarding regulators, Scuba Jenny's light keep the night dive going and the list goes on...

Will be doing my dives this month and night dives as soon as cut loose, hopefully in time for this month's Blue Moons. Can't hold me back. :diver:

:twist: :pray: :-D :) :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Yeah, but where's all you're pictures, guys!!! Jill wasn't the only one with a camera, both in & out of the water. Buncha slackers. :dance:

Seriously, it was really a tremendously fun day for me filled with diving, laughter, good company & good food- someone want to come help me eat all the leftovers?

One last thing- who would like their mask &/or snorkle back? Let me know who's it is!

Hey gang! Man, it was a GREAT day at the beach Saturday! Thanks so much Marvel for having us over at your place--and thank your neighbors for putting up with us too! :thankyou: It was nice to meet and dive with all of you that I did; Walter, Wes, Jenny, Jill, Mike, Kevin, Marry Ann, Sylvia, Cynthia and all the others that I didn't mention. Walter, thanks for the sunrise dive (sorry Wes--you'll just have to try again!!) as it was a great way to start the day! Yes, five dives makes for a long day, and I should have stayed over instead of sleeping on the side of the road. Next time I will plan to spend the night, OK Marvel? (And yes, I will marry you! :-D ) I think Wesley also had five dives in, so I only win the 'farthest traveled' award. It was well worth the drive! I look forward to diving again with all of you!!

I went out & got an airmatress JUST for you....from my neighbor! :thankyou: Glad you made it home OK & thanks for calling to reassure the mom in me.

(And yes, I will marry you!  )


Too late- you hesitated too long. You snooze, you lose!

Naw, Wes & I were both slackers with only four dives- no sunrise dive for either of us, remember?

Come on down anytime. Lee. That goes for the rest of you guys- I'm good a sharing my yard with divers!

Lee - I did heard Marvel pop the question! But waiting 3 days to answer is kind of a long time. You do make great salsa! We will have to have a 'salsa off' between you and KBScarlett!

You guys up for it in August?
