I forgot to mention that taking these classes separately would cost $170; this way you get to save some money and spent just one day getting two credentials.

Aaaaaargh! I won't be in town that weekend. ](*,)

The good news is.... I'll be at the Playboy Mansion for a charity event. $\:D/$ I really wish I could make it though. Please let me know if there is to be another such class and thank you for putting this together Valerie and Bob

Yes, the annual "Calvin Tang Libido Jump Start Benevolent Society" fundraiser. I wasn't invited back this year. Do you think Hef is still mad about the case of alka-seltzer I threw in the grotto?

I'll be sending a check out for the class soon- since I'm not gonna be frolicking with the bunnies this year, I might as well make productive use of my time

man, is there some way we can maybe make it later in the day? As of right now i cant make it, work always gets in the way!!!!

I'm fairly flexible with timing; Bob is out of town right now and I'll talk with him when he's back. What kind of time frame are you talking about? It also may depend on how many people sign up; if it's only one or two it will be easy.

Ummm Im confused?? Charity at the playboy mansion?? Is that some kind of oxymoron? Can you get me Hues autograph ( for charity reasons of course) $\:D/$ ..

DiverDown · Post by **DiverDown** » Fri Aug 18, 2006 9:23 pm

I would be in favor of a later date, That week in doing a support dive for a private company in lake Crescent. But if thats what the date is then I will be in for sure!!

NO its not a oxymoron. Charity was Miss Playboy not long ago and had a accident while scuba diving and her chest popped.

Disclaimer, This can't really happen since I saw it tested on Mythbusters.

Can I request that we keep this thread on the topic of the DAN O2 class?

Thanks ...

DiverDown · Post by **DiverDown** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 7:43 pm

Sorry about that Bob.. Threads do tend to get hijacked here now and then.. $\:D/$ . As far as the class goes I am looking foward to it.. Hopefully we can set a date that more members can attend. 150 bucks is a good deal for that kind of education..

Sorry Bob, I don't know what came over me.

Seems like this date won't work for a lot of folks, so I'm going to propose an alternate date.

How does the weekend of October 14 or 15 sound? Or, I could do Sunday, October 29. Is there a preference for Saturday vs. Sunday?

I work every other weekend so I have less of those days available. I can also do a Monday or Tuesday evening if that is easier, but with commutes I know it's harder to get south for a 6:00 pm start.

Post your preferences here, but if you can do so within a week or so that would be great (ie, deadline August 30th).

Thanks all!

Seriously, we're going a month further out?

Is there any way we can get an accurate count of who intends to attend the original date?

I can attend the first proposed date.

Who else?

Tangfish · Post by **Tangfish** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 10:26 am

I vote for Oct. 15th. A few of us are going on a night dive boat charter on the 14th. Just my 2 cents.

Joshua Smith · Post by **Joshua Smith** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 10:47 am

Yeah, the 15th works well for me.

Well, so far Nailer is the only one who's publicly said the first date was good and that he would attend, and no one has comitted financially. As I said, I work every other weekend, so I only have half the Saturdays and Sundays available that others have, and I'll be in Roatan the first week of October.

So, I guess what we need is what you suggested, a firm list of who intends to attend on Saturday, September 16th? You must come prepared to class, ie, with both books read and ready to work.

If there is enough interest in a second class I'm more than happy to do a second offering, no problem with that at all.

Cuppie · Post by **Cuppie** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 8:15 pm

I would like to go to the october 15th also due the the night dive on the 14th. i usually work most saturdays so any sunday is generally open for me. Thanks for trying to fit our busy schedules into yours!!

Zen Diver v1 · Post by **Zen Diver v1** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 10:27 am

So far for September 16th we have:

Sasquatch

For October 15th:
Cuppie (maybe?)
Nailer
Calvin
DiverDown

Is that correct? Anyone else?

-Valerie

Tangfish · Post by **Tangfish** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 10:42 am

I have another buddy or two who aren't on the board often. I'll forward this to them to see if either date works.

Zen Diver v1 · Post by **Zen Diver v1** » Fri Aug 25, 2006 10:53 am

Cool, thanks Calvin. If there are more than one or two who want both dates I'm agreeable to that as well; the more divers who are O2 certified the better off the whole diving community will be! $\:D/$

Hi Valerie,

I can take the class the Sept. 16th or the Oct. 15th date. I will send you payment today. You let me know when you want me there.
