Hey guys. I haven't posted in forever, as I've been out of the water since last October, but buddy of mine and I will be diving off kayaks south of the pier next weekend, and it'd be good to see some of you guys out there if you can make it. It'll be my first time in the area, so it'd be nice to have someone to show us around and keep those bull sharks off my ass! :@
Pompano Beach next weekend...

-
which day? im off sunday and thats close to home
-
How long are you visiting for?
-
I'll be down probably middle of the day Friday, and we'll probably dive Friday afternoon and Saturday, and drive back Sunday.
Dan, it'd be awesome to meet you. Let me know if you can make it!
-
PS- What are you guys wearing to dive down there these days? I was thinking just rashguard and board shorts. I don't really have anything between that and a 3mm suit.
-
i wear board shorts only
-
Temperature wise rashguard is fine. I like to bring a neoprene vest just in case, sometimes we have theromclines and towards the end of the day it can get hard to deal with. I like full body coverage though, we got all kinds of stinging marine life, especially if you're going to lay on the bottom. So I would use long sleeve Lycra shirt and pants.
I only dove the area you mentioned a couple of times so I'm not at all familiar with it. If the weather's good and I fix my boat in time you should drive down a little further and I'll take you out.
-
That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. How much farther south from there are you?
-
About 20min drive. Then another 40min from my house to Miami where we usually dive.
-
Nice. I'll talk to my buddy and see what he says. I'd love to come down and see all your toys!
-
Dan you launch out of dade county?
if you ever are needing one, hit me up...if I cant keep up with the depth I can video tape
-
:10-4:
-
Dan, I think we're still gonna grab kayaks and dive Pompano on Saturday, but I'd still love to stop by and say hey either Friday afternoon when we finish at Florid Freedivers or on Saturday after our dive.
-
Just as well, I still haven't fixed the boat, this is what I have to deal with. I'll pm you my number and address.
-
Ouchhh, what happened there Dan?
-
It started a small separation/ungluing of the harness from the tube. Since there was already a weakness there I pulled it apart as far as it would go. At this point I removed most of the glue residue. It needs some more prepping with sand paper and acetone and then gluing in various stages.
-
how was the fishing off of pompano guys??? thats my backyard and im thinking of heading out there this sunday
-
Go farther south. It was pretty dirty, even for California standards, and not very fishy at all.
-
damn I always go south and was hoping things up here were promising so I wouldnt have to drive all that extra way.
