Im interested in the dive what are the details?
We currently have 6 ORCA divers going on this trip. We usually meet at my house and car pool down (I live by World Wide Corals). We're leaving Friday night after work. Most likely around 6 PM. W'ere diving Saturday morning and Sunday morning. We have to be at the boat by 8 AM each day.Originally Posted by lite_rider
We are most likely diving a wreck and reefs. The wrecks are between 110' deep (the Castor) to 84' deep (the MV Beck). The second dive each day will be a reef. The reefs are mostly between 70' on the inside ledge, 40' on top and 100' on the outside ledge. The boat requires Advanced Open Water certification or equivalent for the deeper dives (below 60'). All of us and 99% of the divers on the boat will be diving Enriched Air Nitrox to extend our bottom times (in some case almost doubling our dive time). The cost is $65 per boat trip and we give a $10, per diver, tip to the crew. Rental tanks and fills are available ($6 - $12 each). A hotel room runs approximately $100.
I usually make reservations 1 - 2 weeks in advanced. I can check to see if their's any room if you are interested?
I talked to the captain today firm up the plans. We are diving 2 reefs on Saturday. You only have to be open water certified to do the reef dives.
I added an afternoon trip on Saturday. We have 4 ORCA divers going on this trip. We will dive a wreck and a reef or 2 reefs on Saturday afternoon.
We will dive a wreck and a reef or 2 reefs on Sunday morning.
We have to be at the boat by 7:15 AM for the morning trips. The boat leaves promptly at 8 AM.

Still lots to learn about the hobby but I have amassed a great collection of real beauties. I have broken past the stage of keeping things alive and now there actually growing out. Which is a big hurdle for many beginners I must admit. Good information and advise is hard to get sometimes and the club has done wonders with respect to quality advise and help in the hobby.
THANKS Orlando Reef Educators Organization!!!!
Very good.
You are welcome! You did great on your confined water Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) training dive.
The captain reports the water temperatures on the reefs are around 80 degrees.
