    Default Jan, 12th & 13th Intro

    Things are firming up for my trip. At this point the most convenient place for me to start diving is Madison because it's right on the way from Valdosta where I'll fill my tanks but I'm open for anything Intro on down.

    I can be at Madison ready to dive at around noon on the 12th or if somebody wants to meet further south Let me know.

    The 13th is wide open.

    sorry, just for my records where do you get fills in valdosta? I sometimes run into the problem that I did not get tanks filled in time when heading down so I pass on a dive at Madison for that reason. Just not really worth it to go in with a half empty tank. Do they give you cave fills?

    The shop is called Southern Ocean Sports and they don't bank Nitrox but they are pumping OCA so if you want something richer than air you gotta show up with your O2 already in or wait for them to PP blend it for you. I found them to be pretty helpful but not very punctual so make sure you call the day before to make sure somebody will be there when they when you get there. As far as cave fills I dive HP tanks mostly so it wasn't an issue but if you call and ask please post up their answer so we will know.

    Is that a good URL? I am getting a "parked domain" error.

    Other than a free plug for our friends at Southern Ocean Sports. I would still be looking for a buddy for those days... or nights. Open for anything, running line practicing drills or just looking at wet rocks.

    I'd dive with you but I'm only cavern certified.
