Quick meet up..
« on: October 21, 2008, 01:43:48 PM »
If anyone is interested, Frank, his son and I are heading to Meridian MS this Saturday for a quick lunch and meet up with Meridian divers. (At least two that I know of.)

If you are in the area, feel free to stop by Nick and Al's around 11:30 AM Saturday.

Met up with Liza and Mike (Elwood) here on the board. Liza's son (Sorry, I forgot his name. :|) also came along. We ate some great food and talked scuba. My favorite thing to do besides getting wet!

I learned from Liza and Mike that a gentleman named Bob teaches DAN O2 classes. I've really wanted to get this so incase I'm ever on a trip and someone needs help, I can provide it.

Also learned from them that we *might* (I use that loosely. I haven't asked if I could share the information. :P) have a "local" place to do some diving. (Liza and Mike, if either of you two want to say anything or not, I'll leave it up to you. :P)

Liza loaded me up with her steel double 95s, classic DR wing and an Argon setup. I was able to get my DSS BP and the DR wing onto the doubles with no issues. I went to Frank's yesterday afternoon and he and I setup my DR regs for the doubles. I think Frank is liking the idea of doubles too. :)

Thanks again Liza for loaning your gear to me. Mike, I really appreciate you coming and joining us. It's great to put faces to names. Or names to faces? Eh, whichever. Also, Liza's son is a good kid. Quite the gentleman, at least until he found out his mom is going on a diving cruise. ;)

Wish more of you would've shown up or could've... (I'm mostly saying that to the Meridian area folks. :P)

I know Bob and have been dealing with him for some time.  I have his email if anyone wants it.

Not a meeting per say but, a "dive trip" that I don't think really ever happened.

I'd be all about having a meeting. It'd just be hard because most of the board members aren't "centralized". North MS, South (coast) MS, central. Not sure if many would make it.

What say all of you?

Liza said she'd forward me his info. I'd really like to get DAN O2 certed. Would anyone else be interested in it? I'd hate to take a class by myself. (I might be able to talk Frank into it.) Maybe if we had enough people, we could get a discount of some sort.

I'm a Rescue diver, so that in itself qualifies me to administer O2. I just can't get the prescription fills...

I just got off the phone with Bob and told him of your interest in the 02 class.  He will be joining the board later today

Very cool. I had talked with him on the phone and sent him an e-mail. He said he'd send me info back in an e-mail but, nothing yet. I'm sure he's quite busy so, it's not to big of a deal yet. :)

Thanks Don.
