Richard,

Please pick me out some nice stuff for my 2nd half. :bum:

Would love to have some X-mas Tree Worms in the mix. :cool:

You can keep the mantis's though; I think 4 from the 1st half was more than enough :p

Mike,

If you follow the link a few posts above, it shows the weather for today...which OF COURSE is rain again, some look like pretty serious thunderstorms. It has been that way since Tuesday. Looks like next week for more diving.

Well mother nature is going to give us a double whammy, we have a huge storm in the Gulf now

http://www.srh.noaa.gov/tropical/satpix/gmex_ir4_loop.htm

and they are saying by friday we will have hurricane force winds in the Keys as the new storm comes closer this weekend......

They are saying it will be 80-110 MPH winds by friday afternoon..in the Keys, which means Tampa will get it sat-sun......

Geeeesh!

Crud...can't catch a break.

Richard, since this week is probably knocked out by weather, I will not be able to take delivery of 2nd part till 23rd or later (if you are even able to dive by then).

I will actually be right up the road from you in Orlando for 5 days, but with the way my wife packs there is no way I could fit boxes of rock and critters into my SUV for the trip back....hate to think of their condition after a 16 hour trip back to Houston in the car either.
 
why dont you guys take extra rock when the weather is good and store it in house ? like this week you can just go dive on tuesday,wed,thur and grab extra for the weekend? plus you guys are only a few miles off the coast so it should be that bad.

hire a few part times and expand the business :)
 
The weather may look good today, with only 2 foot seas and little rain on the radar, but any time a large storm passes(such as cindy), the water is cloudy for days and diving is useless.

I've spoken to Richard several times and they try to get out as much as possible, believe me, if they could be diving, they would be. Patience is a virtue :)

I believe they do take extra when they can but with the weather hits Richard and Mark have taken this year they have been struggling just to keep up with the waiting list. As to hiring extra divers, I don't think the availability of on call divers is too great plus the cost of the required additional equipement and personel would send the price of the rock way higher. Just my two-cents.
 
Things are looking good on radar and the wave forecast! Too bad the storm churned up the water or TBS could get out this week :(

We went to take a look at the Gulf today......

can you say pea soup?

But on a better note the new storm coming has taken a southerly turn, which is a good thing, but you really can"t tell where they are going to go until a day or two out...we shall see! ....or maybe not 'see'.

It's still somewhat "pea soupish"... but I tell ya... if I had people standing in lines wanting to give me money, I'd be out there diving!

Just got the call today :) I waited 119 days, but that is because I missed the call when I was on my honeymoon in Hawaii at the ~90 day mark.

Wow - are you nuts? Ever hear of unsafe diving conditions??? You are kidding, right?
