Club Dive 12-09-2017

Post by Gdog »

So another club dive has come and gone, and this one went awesome! We had a fantastic turnout, with new and old faces. The weather was cold, with no rain, and fog that cleared out as the day went. The visibility was really good! Water temp was 48 degrees. Mr Heater, along with Pogiguy, showed up and provided a fantastic place to warm up, change, or just hang out. Penelopypants came down sick, but everyone pulled together and the food went well too. Having her gone for this one really drove home just how much she does to make these successful. Whew! Thankfully everyone pitched in and we all had plenty to eat. Thanks to everyone who brought food, shelter, or helped out in any way. We have a great group of people, I appreciate you all!
I didnt take hardly any pics, I was too busy cooking. Hopefully everyone else will post theirs.

Awesome group of divers and non divers. I am glad that Mr Heater got such a warm welcome. :rofl: Thanks to all who helped setup the canopy and sides. maybe we should do one of these each month????

Dive one with Tom and the TANGFISH was well more of a moon snail counting nightmare. Water temp registered 49 for me and dive lasted about 1 hour. Viz was awesome and we managed to miss BOBs reef maybe next time.

Dive two was just Tom and I doing our usual profile down to the carousel boat then over to the black pearl and meander out in the open area towards the VW bug and rock wall. Once again Viz was awesome and was nice to see the pipe,boat and what ever I think the sink that sits off the pipe all in one pic. I must say the years have taken its toll on this reef and I stretch to call it a reef anymore. It would be very nice to see something replace it and see how it progresses.

I couldn't dive because of my recent knee replacement, but it was nice to get out and see some familiar faces and meet some new ones.

Also, big thanks to whoever was running the grill. Good food!

Had an great time and many thanks to all for the planning and work to provide shelter and food!!

Special thanks to Alex for helping set up AI perdix and Jess, Dave, and Bev for tips on venting air in my new toasty Weazle (insert shameless plug here). I appreciate all you guys!

However,.... the highlight might be seeing the dive flag star trek emblem on Calvin’s garment - way cool!!

A few pics from an early dive ... I got there around 6:30 and did a dive before everyone else showed up. Since my later dives were with a newer diver, I left the camera in the car for the later dives.

Good times, great food and socializing. Missed ya, Ms. P ...

Thanks again to everyone for making a newcomer feel welcome! Had a great dive with Hoodsport_Diver, who helped me get my weight dialed in with all my new gear.

Extra special thanks for the spring straps and all the great food. See you all again soon hopefully.
