SWEEEEEEET! I believe that Matt and I will arrive around 10:00 - time enough to woot woot, suit up, and splash!

Sungurl, I hope that I can still pose in the "dry suit pic", even though I'll still be wet.

I mean...I now OWN a dry suit, at least!

Shazam!

BTW, I believe we'll be sharing monkey bread, which sounds disturbing, but tastes delicious!

We'll get you hooked up with a rock-solid "big buddy." Big buddies are something we are always happy to coordinate for new divers, or those who want to learn something new from a mentor type. If anyone else wants to dive with a "big buddy," just let someone know and they'll route to the right folks. Big buddies will take you out for a fun dive, within your comfort level, and you'll probably learn something along the way too.

Is a Big buddy anything like the big brother/big sister club??
I think it will be fun to meet up with other divers and learn from them.....especially those that can give tips and tricks to a newbie I'll be the sponge of the sound on Saturday, lol...soaking up everyone's tips I possibly can....

[Dashrynn]

I will be diving dry for the uhh 3rd time? I dunno if edmonds counts...or the pool...but I'm looking forward to putting names to faces...are we gonna have name tags cuz I suck at remembering names...I'd forget mine if it wasn't for it being stenciled into my underwear lol

Sort of, but more informal. Generally there are many kinds of divers with many different experience levels. Being new, it's hard to tell who is who... and that's where we can help. We'll get you hooked up with someone who is highly skilled and experienced, but who enjoys taking new divers out for a really great experience. A strong buddy like this can be the difference between a great dive and one you would have been just as happy to skip. It's also a great way to meet some mentors, which will give you a wonderful leg-up on learning and practicing skills.

Just come find one of us and we'll hook you up. If you don't know who we are, just ask for the names and someone will send you that way. I've planned a few specific big buddy dives which were a fantastic opportunity for both the mentors and mentees. I'm also the product of two world-class mentors and want to pay forward what was freely given to me.

If i dont work i will be there and bringing a co-worker who hasnt dove in a few years. See everyone around 10:30 ish!

[renoun]

I mentioned the club dive to a friend and she mentioned that the group out of Edmonds UWS will be meeting at SWSP to dive at 10:30 so don't be too confused when there is a whole group of divers that doesn't get it when you introduce yourself by your alias. Turns out that they even gave the Cove II AED Project a mention in their Newsletter.

Wow...there is also a group from Moss Bay Dive Club that will be at SWSP tomorrow at 10:00 a.m., too. How big is the dive area, exactly?

Well there are at least a hundred parking spots and I'm sure a lot of the people who live further away will be carpooling. I plan to be there at about 10:00. Unless I go diving today and need to get my tanks filled in the morning.

[dwashbur]

We have a small gas grill that we can bring. Should we, or do the planners think there'll be enough to cook on already?

I think it's pretty cool they mentioned us and the Cove 2 AED project (which, by the way, is being shipped and should be here any day).

[Jenbowes]

Awesome, Sounder - was it Janna who said she could do an AED training, too? I can't remember - will that be a different day than the dedication, or were you going to combine the two?

Club dive - 2 divers, no grillables, arriving around 10:00 (along with the rest of the diving world, apparently)
