I am looking for people that are interested in going diving this weekend. I want to check out some of the local dive sites and need a buddy or a group to go.
Was thinking 288 lake, formerly tiki lake, if noone wants to hit that one, then we can head up north to blue lagoon.
Or if you want, maybe we can all get ahold of a dive boat and go hit a rig in the gulf.
let me know if you are interested and where you would like to go diving.

Can't do this weekend. Heading out of town on Sunday.

Would be interested in other weekends.

Last weekend the vis at BL was reported to be 20+ feet. :)
I am told you could actually see your dive buddies. :)

Great idea, Dave!

Would like to join you, but a bit long drive :) from the UK, where I am currently suntanning. Have to postpone this till my return to TX - hopefully in September, when the heat goes down.

Hope you'll put a group together - and have a great dive!

Elena :) :) :welcome:

let me know when you two are available. Like I mentioned before, I have a truck so can haul people and their gear to the dive site.
and with vis of 20 feet, I am not sure how to react to that, got used to twin lakes where you had to go by feel.
and believe you me, going by feel and diving with another man is not the best thing in the world :) (kidding, he had yellow flippers so was not hard to spot)

Will keep you posted on when I can dive.
If you enjoyed your buddies yellow fins.. you will love my pink ones.
I am easy to spot even in bad vis. :teeth:

I MIGHT be able to dive on Sunday.. August 10.. will let you know.

Not sure I can make the 9th. I arrive back home late on the 10th.
Might have a bad case of West Coast lag. :wakawaka:

I'm easy...anywhere I can drive to within 6 hours or so. I am in Louisiana (central) and can drive to FL, Ar, MS, or Tx. I hear alot of talk on the Texas sites, but have never dove there. That would be my preference, but like I said...I'm easy..just not cheap..LOL

That's a long way to dive for the crummy local diving in Texas, but I wouldn't mind heading down to Mammoth Lake. I heard the vis has cleared up a little bit.

Now if you want to come down next week and dive the Flower Gardens with us, that will be some good diving!!

they have been adding clearing agent to mammoth lake on fridays, so try not to get there on friday. the lake has a nice stink to it then. lol.
but there is a lot to see there compared to anywhere else I have been so far.
