Yea, yea I know it's a trick question...

I'm headed to Delray Beach on the 28th of the month and won't be heading home until Saturday the 6th of October. This is a dive trip plain and simple and I would like to get in as many as I can. Since I get in late in the day of the 28th probably won't be able to start getting wet until Saturday the 29th. Saturday I'm looking to dive with Kevin on the Underwater Explorer and will probably do the same for Sunday. After Sunday I haven't made any definite plans on any boats or locations. Sooo, my question again, who's up for diving in South Florida? Shore dives, boat dives and night dives I'm game for whatever Saturday the 29th until the morning of the 5th. Since I will be solo would sure like to find some dive buddies and meet some more of the great folks diving in South Florida.

Oh and at least of of these days I would like to cruise down to the Keys and get in some more dives around Key Largo.

"welcome to Florida".

I hope you enjoy your trip to Delray Beach. I would love to dive with you, but I live way over in Delray Beach.

Wait... someone just "whoop me upside the head" with a 2x4.

I'll dive with you !

Nothing deeper than 100', though.

Welcome :( to the area. I know there are lots of South Floridians waiting for your arrival. I see that you already have a "Racer' buddy. If you are up near W.P.B. let me know. I can supply local information regarding the different boats / ops... Sorry I won't be able to dive...stupid job! :birthday:

I know how you feel, Zach.

Weekday dives are better for me this time of year.

Stupid Job !

And if Blue Diver is flying out on a Saturday, that means last dive is sometime Friday or even Thursday.

I need to go diving up your way also. I need to broaden my horizons. (Is there a horizon underwater?)

Since we all seem to have these "Stupid Jobs", maybe we ought to have twilight dive during the week in honor of Blue Diver's arrival. I'm in town that week (as I know it today) and would be glad to do a little trip up coast for dive. That's the only way I can dive durig the week.

Stupid Job!

I can take the boat out for a twilight dive just about any time we want. We just need enough divers... maybe 6 would be good.(?) Sounds easy enough ...Zach

Thanks for the replies. Alan, I'm not big on diving below 100' so we're good. I don't have any dives firmed up for the week after Sunday so whatever works for you. A twilight dive would be cool, I'm sure up for that and if we can get enough to go out with Zach even better. What day do we want to try for?

Ok, so far I've booked a spot on the Underwater Explorer for 8AM on the 29th, anyone interested in joining me? Will have two friends on the 1 PM trip on the same boat so there are 3 spots open and doing that again Sunday morning the 30th. Was thinking about trying for more boat dives in the vicinity of Delray on Monday and Tuesday, anyone available?

Thanks Zach, understand the job thing, looking forward to warm water and good viz since 54 degree water and 15 foot viz can get old after a while.

Did anything ever come about for a twilight dive while Blue-water is here. I'd be up for that if Zach can still pull it off.

Not sure if we had enough folks interested or not....

OK Gang -

I'm going to put together a post for a single tank twilight dive and HH out of Riviera Beach for while Blue Diver is in town.

So, before I do.... Blue Water.... since you have been scheduling your dive trip I thought I'd bounce it off of you first. Would you be interested and if so, what week day works for you while you're here?

I'm always up for a dive in South Florida. Unfortunately, I'm in Virginia right now.
