Scuba Dive trip RSVP list

[JARRETT SHARK]

Looking to put together a scuba dive trip for guys and gals on MR.. Looking to do in either July or Aug for a day trip. I spoke to a great dive shop in and they can charter a boat for like 20 guys. It cost $120 for 2 tanks,tip for captain, and lunch
Equipment rental if dont have is like $70-100. If you have fins and googles its $70 so you get the hint. All levels are welcome he said!! that means If you a certfeild and went 2 times its ok to come. Depending on weather we can go to a spot in Brooklyn or Long island

So if you want to really come just RSVP so i can hold a boat and get a date so we can make new thread

It's been awhile since I've been in the water. If I can get a pool session and a session at Dutch Springs in beforehand I may be interested. No way I'm diving off a boat without some refresher dives first.

 

[skene]

I would love to.. but don't know how

 

[INNEED]

hey skene u'll learn once ur in...

 

[FMF0331]

Is a dive master included in the $120.00 price, if not i think we should do a dutch spring trip first.

Yeah ummm... no thank you. Having a compressed air tank on your back is an explosive waiting to happen.
I'm not trying to become a compressed air bomb.

I've never been on a local dive with a dive master. You dive in pairs, not as a group, generally speaking.

Air doesn't explode...

 

[INNEED]

ummmmm ur wrong compressed air can explode i dout it will tho....

 

[smoq]

I'll think I may be interested along with my girlfriend. What kind of dive are we talking here?

 

[beerfish]

Not really. If you shoot a tank of compressed air, it will fly around like crazy, but it won't explode. If a tank overheats, the burst disc will rupture before it can do anything other than blow around a lot of papers.

 

[skene]

Yes the burst disc will give way if the air pressure raises above the disc's pressure rating.
If the regulator goes... however... I'd still be scared. There would still be a projectile.

Nah, you'd just have a free-flowing reg. You'd have to either knock the valve off completely or shoot a hole in the tank.

My thoughts are, a free-flow can be handled, and if I hit something hard enough to knock the valve off my tank, or have my tank shot at... I've got bigger problems than being rocket man!

I'm interested in going. I just got certified last summer, but never been out in the real waters (my open water dive was walking into the water from the beach... until about 30 ft deep and horrible visibility) and I heard once you go out like 20-30 miles out, its pretty clear.

Do you guys normally wear a wetsuit? I remember while it was warm on land, it shivering cold @ 30ft... I wore a 5mm wetsuit

Best vis I've seen in this area is about 30 feet. Normally it's around 15-20.

I'd advise on a 7mm wetsuit with boots, gloves and hood most times of year, or get certified in a drysuit.

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

they rent wetsuits if cold for you

Just remember... There are two types of divers.

Those that pee in their wetsuits, and those that lie about it. :shhh:
