For a good cause-equipment needed-NHZ

Post by dsteding »

Hey all-

I'm on my honeymoon in Fiji, and LeeAnn said this was a good reason to log on:

I'm diving with a great guy, Sam, who lost a dive shop in a fire a couple weeks back. Two kiddos in college, two heading to college soon. His hospitality has been the typical Fijian warmth, and has been great getting LeeAnn back in the water.

What he could use are regs, BCs, fins, masks, and thin wetsuits--a lot of this stuff was lost in the fire. If you have that type of stuff, and can get it to me I'll box it up and get it to Fiji. I'll pay shipping to Fiji.

You all are the greatest, so I'm posting here first. Feel free to list gear in this thread, I'll be back in the States on the 28th and will connect with people then to collect gear.

Bula!

-Doug

At the very least we have some fins. I have a box of "not really used" that I'll have to dig out of the garage attic.

I'll have some things to donate ... don't know what yet, but I'll dig through my boxes of spare stuff with what he needs in mind.

I have a men's large wetsuit, a couple of masks, and at least one set of fins. I will see what else I can dig up.

Sure thing. If anyone else wants to store stuff in my garage until Doug comes home, you are welcome to drop stuff at my place.

OK, I have in a box ...

- one 3 mm wetsuit, well used but still in good condition
- two (brand new) 3 mm hooded vests
- two snorkels
- two sets of fins (one set full-foot and one set of Force fins)
- an assortment of regulator hoses (most brand new)

I'll dig around and see what else I can find ...

Only thing I really have (I think-I'll have to check) is a set of fins.... Can I pass them (and anything else I can find) off to someone at the Dive Expo?
