Hi there, won this trip for 2 for 5 days at the Scuba Show in Long Beach, I have NEVER EVER won anything in my life , lol. Ok, so its not the lottery, nor is the WARM water locations like Fiji, Coz,Belize or Coz that were other prizes, but hey, I WON something, lol. So now, I have to find the right person (cold water lover, experienced diver, fun person etc.) who might want to be the second on this trip. ANy thoughts from anyone who has dived this area recently? I prefer warm water, so this will be a BIG adjustment for me. Trip has to be taken the week of Aug 22nd. thanks for any input Karen

Congrats! sounds like a great adventure
Each wreck has a tale to tell about its life and its demise.
If you are observant while diving in dark places listen to the account each has to tell, You cannot come away unaffected.

,No punn intended,Karen.I'm sure you'll find another SD member from your area.As for the water temp,I am a warm water person myself.Just a Drysuit for those "cooler" temps.Being in the Midwest doesn't allow you many (WARM) options.Have Fun,,,,,

CONGRATS!!!
Every year I've gone to the LB show, I've entered for the door prize, and all I've won is more emails trying to sell me stuff. Haha.
What's your secret? Did you enter like 947 times or something?

LOL, Nope, just once! Was one of the first in the door so figured my entry would stay at the bottom of the drum! Trust me, I never, ever win anything, so no one was more surprised than me! Time to buy some lotto tickets maybe?

Congratulations!
The Truth Aquatics boats are among my very favorites. Very spacious, great crews (especially the Vision, captained by long-time Catalina resident Tommy Cappanelli).

Totally bummed I can't make it. Great boat, time and place to try out the drysuit!!! Oh well. Karen, if all else fails, don't forget our mutual friend I suggested. He dives the channel islands regularly and is experienced. Plus he wetsuit dives brrr, so you guys would be more temperature compatible lol.
Talk to you when I get back from warm water...

Might be about that time, lol. Share your numbers when you do. Actually, I'll lend you the $5. haha
