The events committee has picked the Mermet Dive weekend for 2008. It will be the weekend of October 11th. The event will start at 9:00 AM Saturday and end sometime Sunday afternoon.
Obviously there will be lots of diving, but we will also be camping, cooking out, and just having lots of fun. Last year was a blast!
More details will follow but we'd like everyone to mark their calendars now so we can have a great turnout!

You know, I just realized that I may have to take my ABATE course that weekend! Looking forward to taking it, but now I'm hoping I didn't get into the class that weekend!
If I have to miss another dive weekend I'm not gonna be happy!
I should get my confirmation soon.

Just change the weekend of the dive trip... I would want to get as many people to go with me and share the gas. Plus the last couple of times i have been there the Vis has sucked even in the deep end of the pool.
If there's one thing I've learned while being on the events committee, it is that you can't find a time that is good for everyone. So far, the weekend of the 27th works for everyone but Misty, me and Tammy. When I start looking at our schedules, it would be October before we had another good weekend to pick.
So while we want to go badly, life has stepped in and other obligations have taken precedence.

What would be another good weekend for everyone? Tom PM'ed and said that September 13th was out, but I think we already nixed that weekend because of a Dive Rite weekend there.
What about October 11th?

Well,... I have to work on the 11th, but off that weekend. I could arrive early Sat & camp out Sat. night. The weekend of the 12th would be a "go' for me.
Edit: Oops I forgot. I won't be home form the Bahamas until the 19th. I guess I'm out . I really ought to check my calendar more often (Sigh........)
