Hey man, I am sorta local to you. I live just outside Columbia, SC. I’ve been wanting to head out to lake Jocassee for a while now. Also, I have a boat I am working on that will be able to handle offshore dives. I have all my own kit and 2 tanks, just hard to find a buddy.

Hey! You’re not far at all man, I’m in Columbia on a somewhat regular basis for work. I completely agree on the hard to find a buddy thing, I’ve only been in it for a few months now, but end up having to take organized trips with my LDS to find buddies to dive with right now.
One of the shops local to me runs a few wreck and fossil ledge dives off the NC coast every summer too.
I’ve got my own backmount kit (BP&W) along with a single steel 120. I’m working on putting together a sidemount kit and getting my credentials for tech sidemount as well.
I’m sure there is not going to be many opportunities for travel right now, but I’ve heard the lake is still pretty cold anyway, we’ll have to meet up for a jocassee trip

Definitely man. Yeah with the travel restrictions I’m under right now (I’m active duty Army) I can’t do anything but go home and go to work. I will send you my contact info in a PM so when possible we can plan a dive up there at Jocassee.

If I can make sometime during those two weeks work, I’ll give you a shout. I’ve got a new sidemount setup that I need to work on a few skills in leading up to my certification.
Bounacy, task loading, setup, all that fun stuff, so I need to get some time in the water with it, if I can find a buddy that wouldn’t mind hanging around underwater for more effort than just getting in the water.

I have the entire month of July off. I live in Georgia but I would be willing to go just about anywhere in the Southeast - Lake Jocassee, North Florida - whatever. My dive buddy is coming up on her 500th dive and I need to catch up!

Anyone diving tomorrow May 27th Wednesday, :)?

If the trip is still on... Corona stuff might get in the way. I might be in Bonaire during part of July. But, I have a few days of vacation left to burn. I’ve been interested to try and get to the springs during the work week to have better vis.
And, once the water warms up a little bit more, I am down to hit up Jocassee a bunch. I’ve heard it should be pretty comfortable in July?

I live in North Central FL and dive the springs if you’re interested.

I also live in Charlotte. I am always looking for a competent buddy to occasionally visit the quarries like PDRA or Fantasy Lake. Jocasse is on my list as well as things warm up. I just got back from Blue Grotto and Devil’s Den. I have only been diving a year but thru Rescue and going for a Cavern Diver course later in March.
