Is anybody else going on this trip?

I recall seeing someone earlier on the forum posting that they were taking a class with them.  But, you will have no trouble at all finding someone to dive with, there will be over a hundred people there Friday and Saturday to dive with.  When you walk into the campground to the left a little, all of those people are from Scubaboard and will welcome you with open arms.  

The guy to the left on the campground is Jason, he will be the one with the fully outfitted camping setup.  Denise has the tan Cadillac with matching trailer.  Kraken (if he is going) will have spot #1 and should be in a camper.  Clay and Gordon have spots #9 and #10.  Carolyn is around the same area (she's the one with the inflatable shark on top of her tent).  And bunches more

You have no idea how bummed I am to not be able to go, but such is life I guess!  Did get my car back last night though, that's a positive atleast...

Don't forget to take some meat or sides up there with you for the huge community cookout on Saturday night.  I promise you, it will be a blast and you will get to eat some awesome venison sausage.

I've never been there I couldn't find some body to dive with. We need to save our money and plan a trip to the keys next year sometime when everybody is off work.

I am presently working on a trip to the keys in the spring, if anyone is interested.  I can get condos and then want to have a meeting via chat room one night to see what everyone is interested in.  We can either drive or fly down and rent vans to run up and down the keys to various dive sites.

Believe me there are a lot of people to do with.  It's a very small hole in the ground anyway and I doubt you will go in the cave.

Sounds fun, have any numbers in mind yet?  There's a guy in Key West that rents his boat by the day and is very cheap, I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: http://www.keysmobilediving.com/rates.htm -- $400 a day + gas, no time limit.  He will trailer the boat to Key Largo too.  He doesn't charge for night dives and actually encourages the divers to ask for a night dive.  26' glacier bay, dual hondas, holds 18 tanks and 8 spearguns.  6pack.
