Forum Dive cruise with Blue Angel

[MapisM]

dates look good for me

+1.
Possibly aside from the last couple of days, when I'll have to leave to prepare Genoa boat show.
Re. the equipment, do you think it's possible to hire something in SoF?
I have my stuff onboard, and I'm not sure to be willing to bring all that, aside maybe from the regulators, which already have the connection for the Aladin Air...

Ok Bart, dates look good for me, where will the boat be moored? What equipment would we need to bring? Presumably you have a few spare cylinders and weights? Wouldn't want to try and carry them as hand luggage

cylinders and weight I will provide, (for all)
great you will be there LJS !

[BartW]

Really sorry, but I can't make this week, will be in Brazil opening a new subsidiary for my business.

such a shame Rafiki, now I have to find another tender driver

doesn't that ORY come along porquerolles when heading to Genoa coincidently ?

I will bring a few spare dive sets (jacket and regulators) can't promise for everybody, also no garanty about size and quality.
one for MapisM is reserved.

you all have to bring your own wetsuit, unless you want to rent one in a local dive shop.
I will find out in advance which local dive shop is convenient.

diary's start to fill up (at least mine does for this summer)

date for the dive cruise is fixed now;
from saturday 29 september 2012, until 6 october 2012

even if you can't make it a full week, a few day's is nice aswell.
Will post more detailed info towards the end of this month,
but now candidates can at least reserve this in their holliday planning.

Hi Bart,
The dates work for me! Can I bring the wife too?
I'm probably going to drive down and depending upon how the April trip goes, I may possibly even bring the RIB again.
If anyone wants to take their own dive kit and doesn't want to pay the crazy excess baggage charges, I'll have plenty of room in the Landcruiser...

I need a little while longer (a week or two) to confirm the dates because I have a few balls up in the air. And anyway I'm not used to such long range planning :-)

Good plan Mitch,
sure you can bring your wife, the more women the better,
especially now that Jfm is not sure if he can come and bring the babes

very good plan to drive down, could solve a few logistic issues,
and
Waw, a dive cruise with 2 dive tenders ! great idea

We would be glad to have you around J, even just a couple of day's,
but I can understand and apreciate that you might have other restrictions or obligations

For the coming season I'm almost fully booked with BA
the proposed week is the best (and only) available moment in my agenda,
thumbs up !

Fantastic news. I have put the dates in the diary. If allowed, SWMBO may also wish to come (but not to dive) . I will bring own wetsuit but would much appreciate your offer of bcd, regs and cylinder. Looking forward to it hugely! My last dive was in Egypt in 2010, so I will try to do a refresher dive in the UK before then.
