Greetings to one and all...

After seeing the interest many of us have in diving the aircraft carrier Oriskany, up in Pensacola's way, I've started this separate thred to see how many of us would indeed commit to the dive.

Please keep in mind that although the long weekend of July 4th may seem ideal to some, bear in mind that many others, within our little community of divers, use them for getaways with the family...yes folks...although it may sound unbelievable, they go on getaways that pertain to something else other than diving.

So here it is folks, put down your two cents worth, and let everyone know your thoughts, the faster we can get an idea of how many people will want to dive the Oriskany, the faster we can appeal for DiverDeb's expertise and her assistance in setting up a date for diving the Mighty O.


Anyhow, for me any weekend in July will be great.

Ok folks...

Here's the beginning of a list.

1. Carlos "cjdives" July 5
2. Mark "techintime" July 5

I know I would love to do it, but I have committed to the NC Wrecks trip that weekend. IF the dates work into a 3 day weekend for me, I would love to fly down and do it sometime!

[WreckWench]

If we have enough interest SD will be happy to set this up for you all! So far we have 2 people which is not enough to set up a contract with the boat unless they have an open booking meaning they will let whomever goes as long as there is space available.

I'll touch base with our FL HH and Dive of the Month planners and see what they have in mind!

[diverdeb]

I know there are some other people that could not do it the 4th, so let's hear from those people too. We can always do it 2 different weekends. MAYBE techintime and cjdives can make it BOTH!!

[WreckWench]

TechinTime needs to do NC! Its our last trip and I'm almost positive that DiverDeb will be on it too!

[CJdives]

I don't know about doing it both weekends, with the price of gas...hmmm???

Anyhow, as I mentioned originally, I for one am open for any weekend in July, the following weekend is just as good for me, maybe those with more experience with this site than me, can take over and lead us by the hand. (hint, hint)

Count me in, but I cannot do July 4th. What about mid to late July?

You betcha...I'll add your name to the list and it's beginning to look more like a dive in mid July, how does Sat. the 12th begin to sound to you guys?????

Post your comments.

I believe in another thread labor day weekend was mentioned. I know the first weekend or two in July I can't. Plus, There may be some people going to the Tortuga trip that might want to go to! Or it may have been a date in August but Netmage and pmarie & stephanie were in that discussion too!

I am planning on making a trip that way in June, but i can see what i can work with for beginning of July. Cant commit to anything yet but i am interested

[Capn Jack]

Next year. - Already going to NC July 4th, and Flower Gardens in August.

btw, I'll give tours of the Naval Air museum while we're there - show you some of the antiques I used to use to go from dining facility to dining facility.

Woo Hoo!! My first post.
I dove the Mighty "O" with DiverDeb back in April. We chartered the 50' Wet dream and would love to tour the wreck again. Count me in!! I can also get a couple other divers from ATL to join us because the Scuba Shack still owes us a 1/2 price trip to the "O". Can't wait... keep me informed.
