Diving 5/06/06

Post by sparky »

Ok Gang here is the deal:

I have had it up to here :violent1: with this ( !!!%%$$##@%%$) remoldeling and working on saturdays so I told the wife and the boss both I am out and I am not to be called or ask to do a damn trhing on Saturday May the 6th as the answer will be a resounding NO!!! As I will be diving with my dive club up in the Seattle area and you cant reach me there any way ( I dont have a cell phone you see )

So lets start planning this now. What do the tides look like for that weekend at Sunrise Beach I have never dove that site and I hear it rocks,
acording to me dive club buddies its a grate site

So what do you guys think how about we put something together for that saturday?

The tides look great that day. However, I have an Open Water class to work with that morning (I'm currently doing Divemaster training). Since I really do want to dive with you I'm more than happy to do 2 sets of dives that day if the timing works out (the OW class dives are early in the morning). Dave will be back by then so it will for sure be put together, since Sunrise is one of his favorite sites. I hope I can go Sparky! :bounce:

Sparky,

The tides look good for an 8am splash at Day Island Wall on Sat May 5th.
How would that work with your schedule?

Sparky I am in Hoodcanal that whole week, and am diving on the 7th of may either at sund rock or octopus hole. this dive is already planned as I am shrimping for the week. You can join me and a few others if you would like. the area is not tide sensitive.

Hmmm... Sparky, you should do whatever makes sense as far as tides and good diving are concerned. I'll try to join but I don't want you to plan anything around me since I don't know how long these students will take. Unfortunately my deal with the classes won't allow me to get out to Hood Canal to meet up with Maverick here. Shoot! #-o

Sparky,
Not sure what I have going on yet other than my regular work day.
If possible, I would like to join up with you and/or the club later in the afternoon or ...
Maybe a night dive would be possible. (Three Tree point?)
I'll keep an eye on this thread and let you know how things come together for me on this end.

Sat. May 6th is Sparky's "Get Wet again Day!" :wav:

I could be talked in to diving just about any place
I wont be diving with the wrolds greatest dive budy this trip as you may have seen Jay cant make it so where are we diving I would like to make at least 2 dives maybe more depending on the tides and how tired you guys get.

I would like to do more diving that weekend but just cant talk MoMA out of the Bing for a room so its a day trip for the Sparkster

But I do have all day and can drive home that night

If any one is ready to comit to a Saturday the 6th day of fun and diving with the Spark- amaniac????? I am getting real excited only 4 more days till I can get wet I am so ready to dive.


I have been teasing the wife told her I was driving up Friday after work, to get in a night dive and camping out in my truck at the dive site so I could be the first diver in the water in the morning LOL

I almost had her talked in to letting me get a room Saturdaynight but I guess I spent tomuch $$$ at the home Depo the other day

So ill be doing the day trip thing after all


So who is going and where are we meting and which site do you guys want to do?

Sparky, I'll be out at Alki, we can do Cove 2 if you want after I do the two Cove 3 dives with the Open Water class. I figure you'd want to do something more spectacular than just 'ol Cove 2 though, so you let me know what you want to do. The OW class should be done with their stuff by around Noon or so.

Sparky the Alki Dive shop is out of Business, you can't suvive on just filling are, so they went up in smoke.
