Welcoming Maria! So glad you can join us! This trip is going to be AMAZING!!!

[Cajun Diver]

I'll bring my spear for the lionfish hunting.  I'll look at getting a tube to hold them if I can find one that will fit into my bag.

Butch you and I can tag team toting my Zook (you really need something hard like PVC, I've yet to see canvas or steel mesh that adequately keeps tines inside) and empty it after each dive into a cooler on the boat. With two of us hunting we can focus more on finding bigger LF's rather than cleaning out the small ones when they cluster together.

For the food.......

 

I am good with pretty much all of the options you gave.  My bread choices in order would be Rye, brown, pita, sourdough.  Happy with what ever is there though.  Ham and turkey, no cheese.  Non yellow mustard.  Any of the meats for the cook out are great.  I doubt I will have much of the breakfast options.  I may bring my own type of granola bar.  For the boat, water ( I will bring my own bottle and buy several gallons as well ).

[Diver Ed]

Follow up to the food list;

 

Due to back issues, I often have a difficult time with land based dive trips.  Although I want to take part in the social aspect, after a day on the boat I am usually not up for spending a couple of hours in a restaurant.  For that reason, I plan to bring an instant pot, air fryer, and electric frying pan.  I will do a couple of easy meals at the hotel.  If anyone is interested in joining me, you are welcome.  Just give me a heads up ahead of time, and we can discuss meal options.  I can easily do the potatoes and eggs for the potato salad, as well as the eggs for Kamala's deviled eggs for our cookout nights.  Chicken breast and potatoes in the air fryer, ribs in the instant pot, what ever in the frying pan.  Just let me know.

 

I also have more than a dozen beach towels that I will bring, so anyone that wants to use one is welcome.  As mentioned in a previous post, I will also bring several plastic totes for hauling dive gear back and forth.

Good morning,

I would like steel 100 or 100AL.  I think they have both there. 

I'm interested in lionfish hunt as well.  I will pick up a tube in the shop.  

I can peel eggs, help with the grill, help clean up or whatever.. 

Prefer sandwich wraps for boat food, as much keto as possible.  Water on the boat.

Wine or Beer.  Probably should have read all those post.

Looking forward meeting and diving with everyones.

Concerning beer,  Crystal coast brewing has a tap room two or three blocks from the hotel if you want something local.  There is a new seafood market immediately adjacent to the hotel if you want some other seafood for the BBQ or I can take my speargun and hunt something besides lion fish if the shark numbers are low on the wreck.
