Very Hot Dive Club Outing

Well this past Sunday was our first club outing and it was great. We were at Bluestone in Thomasville. The temp was over 100 outside. We recognized 2 new divers, James Cunningham and Mike Gatton. We had several specialty students get there c-cards. But the biggest was Jeff Galyan,he finished his Dive Con and was presented with his Dive-Con Card,Log book and his bright orange Concord Dive Center Dive Con T-Shirts. So now we can see him from far away. Congrats to him and all of the other students. The diving was fun but the water temp is still down because of the colder spring we had but with this heat wave it will help. We grilled Hamburgers and Hot Dogs and had such a great time floating in the water and seeing new and old friends. We had plenty of instructors on hand to lend a hand to help out divers who needed some skill tuning. From a couple of emails that i have received everyone enjoyed the Fellowship time that we had. If anyone has anything to add feel free. Look for the date for next months outing. Until then dive safe and enjoy our wonderful sport.

Where Have You Been?

This is the place to tell or ask anyone where they have dove and where to go diving. Also where not to go and who not to use. So help out our fellow divers.

NC Wreck Diving

Well back from another great dive trip to the North Carolina Coast. Nelson,John Stanley,Mike Irwin and myself went to Morehead City dispite the weather forecast. We were supposed to dive Sat. night on the Coast Guard Cutter the Spar but the weather was not gonna hold so we back tracked and dove in the morning instead. We got up early and got on the Olympus and got to dive on the Schurz and the Aelois. I found a couple of sandtiger teeth and saw about 6 sharks total. I saw about a 6ft sandtiger. The ride out was a little rough but by the second dive it was pretty flat and the ride back was relaxing. I fell asleep and got too much sun. After a much needed shower we went to Raps for a couple of cold beers and a good meal. Then back to the bunk house and watched a movie.(Men Of Honor).Bedtime was early for we had to be back on the boat by 6am sunday. Sunday was not as good as Saturday for we got blown out due to 20 knot plus winds. So we headed back home early. A good time was had by all. Thanks to Olmpus Dive Center and thier crew and staff. Next trip is to Bluestone on Sunday the 8th for our Dive Club Meeting and Diving. After that we head to Wilmington at the end of the month. Oh yea i can’t forget my vacation on June 18th to the Keys for camping and diving. Check back for those details. Please feel free to ask questions and leave comments on this post.

 

As always Happy Diving and Thanks
