Club Dive! Club Dive! Club Dive! March 28th

Post by Penopolypants »

Is it that time again?

Dare I say it?

Is it....CLUB DIVE TIME!?

Yes! Yes it is!

What: Club dive/big buddy dive and barbecue
When: 9 a.m. March 28th
Where: Redondo (currents are pretty craptastic that day and our options are limited)
http://pnwscuba.com/directions.htm#redondo


Want to meet some of your fellow internet friends/dive buddies/board bickerers/special idiots?

Are you a big buddy/little buddy/I don't know I just like to dive buddy?

Want to try out some different gear?

Heard about some swank sounding skill you'd like to learn?

Love the smell of flame broiled deliciousness?

Show up at 9 a.m. at the PAY parking lot across from Salty's at Redondo, NOT THE ACTUAL SALTY'S PARKING LOT (thanks Tim for the heads up!). Parking is $7 for the day, or sometimes you can find street parking for free. You bring: yourself, your dive gear, as many tanks as you think you can handle (I'll probably do two or three dives) and something to share. Please post in the thread what you are bringing so that we don't have 30 lbs of potato salad, or 30 bags of chips. No kidding, we really had 30 bags of chips once. I do love the chips, but man!

I'll have a popup canopy, some folding tables, a small grill, charcoal, ketchup, mayo, mustard, relish, a cooler full of ice, stove, kettle, tea, coffee, etc. My second grill died a heroic death, so I'm down to one. If anyone can bring another I would very much appreciate it. I have plenty of charcoal if you bring a charcoal type.

I also recommend you bring a chair for lounging between dives.

Fishstiq came up with the brilliant idea of having a gear-sharing dive, so if you've got some gear you're willing to let others try out, please bring it!

The preliminary schedule:

Show up at 9
We'll sort out big buddies/little buddies/gear borrowing buddies
Gear up
10:30-ish Dive!
Barbecue!
1:30 Dive again!
Pick at the leftovers during the surface interval
And then another dive for Josh's special idiots.

Post here if you're in and what you'll bring, I'll keep a running tally as we go. Who's in? :bounce:

Can't make that day as I'll be teaching (for work). If it ends up cancelled I'll be there!

Yeah, Like Thursday!

And who is Julie? :dontknow:

I will be able to show up early to meet some folks, but then I have to go home and sleep.
Saturday is the middle of my work week ](*,)

If early enough :smt064 I can maybe do one dive. 8:00 am'ish
And then meet a few nwdivecluber's.

I will be there. Willing to loan out my force fins if someone want to try them out. P, I have one of those round bbq grills, the ones with charcoal (we have charcoal). So if someone doesn't have a better grill, I will bring that one. For food/drink, I can bring 2 liter regular Dr Pepper, diet coke and 7up (should cover most bases).

I have a family thing that day, but I will be there nonetheless! :supz:

I will have another pop-up canopy, and can bring some dogs for the grill.

Keith - let's talk, perhaps I can show up early and we can do a dive before the main event gets started.

Thanks PPants for, ahem, "grabbing the bull by the horns"... :fish:

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.

Ok it is on my calendar and I am bringing taco salad but [-X only for those that have been to a gas management seminar. I may stay at a dive buddies place and do the hood on Sunday. :partyman:

FWIW, these are great events for divers of ALL levels. Big buddies are awesome to take "little buddies (aka newer divers or those who want to learn something)" and everyone else just "goes for it." The food is awesome, Redondo is consistent in marine life, and Penelope will no doubt bring some freaky current with her (so be ready for it).

Sorry for those who can't make it... Hopefully catch the next one!

Penelope - I'd just forge ahead with plans for that days as it is impossible to make everyone's schedule's work.

Agreed. On these things, you just gotta pick a date and go with it. As I said, I'll be there in spirit... though I might send along a few X1's for folks to try if they'd like.

If taking a poll the 29th is preferred, as the 28th is not possible. Assuming no changes to the date - have fun people!

how about a separate thread for planning a club dive the 29th? let's keep this one for planning the event on the 28th.

thanks.

I'm sorry guys, but I can't do the 29th, so the 28th it is!

I will try to do the "no freak currents" dance but I make no promises as to the results. There is a very large exchange that day and weird currents just love to follow me around.

I also updated the first post to include the fact that the parking lot I was referring to is the pay lot across from the pier (and Salty's) not the actual Salty's parking lot. Please don't park in the Salty's lot. It makes them angry. You wouldn't like them when they're angry. :naka:

Even if you can't dive, or you've got other plans, feel free to stop by, say hi, and enjoy some food and excellent company.

For once, I can make it! But I sure as hell ain't going to be there at 9AM (y'all should know my Friday night habits by now).

So, I will show up around the time y'all are getting in for the first dive, then I will mow down on your food while you're under water, then when you come back up you can yell at me while I wipe the chili and chips off of my smug grin and I will set up for the second dive with you all. :la:
