Kenny, It will be great having you join us. We will have a great time. I will send you all the details on the boat, meeting time, etc. tomorrow. Do you have gear, need gear? Are you coming down Friday?

Mary, I know, sorry it didn’t work out for when you guys are here in town, but perhaps we can still get together and show you another spot if you are interested....the grandkids could come and I would be happy to hang out with them while you guys dive :)

We will probably drive down Friday night and spend the night. I have everything minus tanks, but think we will just do crystal river. Only my wife and I are certified divers not my daughter. She doesn’t have any gear, what would she need to do Crystal river and can we rent it there?

I just sent you a private email which will answer some of those questions. We have tanks that we rent out for $8/tank if you are interested, or you can get at the Dive Shop there for $10/day. I just had to call about that so when I did the subject of weight restrictions came up and it appears we will have to rent 2 boats, so I opted in order to keep the price down to our original buget of $30 to only 1/2 a day, so we will dive King’s Spring, run over to Three Sisters and then go over to Hunter’s Spring Park and eat lunch and anyone that wants to dive it can as well.

Your daughter will need a wet suit, mask, snorkel and fins - $25 at the dive shop, since most open water students need that gear, we don’t have in our supply for students (well we have limited wet suits as well as the other, but might not have the right sizes, but if you guys come over and want to check out what we have that would be fine and we could rent ours out for a cheaper rate).

Mary,

I didn’t get a message, sorry, maybe I didn’t look in the right place. I will check with Michael, but as far as know we are going to be around that weekend, in fact, there is a group from GA that is coming down PreciousCargo that we are thinking of joining for a night dive at Devil’s Den on the 25th. Can always email me directly at deann@scubadreaminn.com

You are going to have sooooo much fun with the Manatees, they were great!

DeAnn
