There's no reason why it has to be one or the other, we could alternate if we're planning on making this a regular thing. Or we could have a big buddy dive on the weekends, and a regular club dive during the week. And no reason why a regular club dive couldn't be a big buddy dive, too. I don't like ...

***shudder*** In the water by 8:00? On a Saturday? Are you out of your damn mind? Ok, I'll be there. :partyman: Diving, skiing, golf, and music are the ONLY things I'd get up that early for on a day off. And the music better pay well, or I'm staying asleep. Depending on our surface interval, I may ...

No worries Al, there is always another time to dive, but the ONLY time to please the wife/girlfriend is NOW! Or any other time you want to plan something. I mean, how do we really know they are reminding us of something we forgot? If we can't remember in the first place, maybe they wait for us to m...

I'm okay with anything other than during the day during the week, but I like the weeknight idea. It breaks up the monotony of the work week. I also like the dive 'n barbecue concept, though I admit it's harder to get excited about barbecuing on a winter day. I just like the diving, really. And the p...

Sometimes your brain can do some funny things to you. This is the best possible outcome, though...mistakes were made, lessons were learned, nobody was hurt. I agree that the debriefing afterwards is very important. It's hard sometimes for people to admit mistakes, but that is crucial to learning in ...

Scott, with a 120 you'll be down forever. But, if you want to do a second dive I can loan you one of my lp95s.

I LOVE EUP! My regular buddies don't want to dive it, so I never get to go. I'm pretty stoked. :) Seriously, it's a small current/small exchange day, so the pushing around will be minimal. Late morning slack is at 11:11 a.m. if I'm correct, so if we wanted to do two dives we should work backward fro...

I don't have a three day weekend, and I'm busy Sunday, but I could be persuade to do a dive or two at EUP on Saturday morning.

Okay, let's just plan on doing Redondo! I can bring two grills, charcoal, spatulas and tongs, a table and and a popup canopy if the weather is yucky. I make a pretty mean potato salad too. You bring something to grill. Who wants to bring paper plates and forks 'n stuff? Condiments? Buns? Hm...It's l...

Fried brain cells, definitely. Plus it's easy to forget the real world when you're underwater looking at all the underwater awesomeness.

When ARE we going to do a club dive? :bounce:
