I am good with the dates, as for the location, I am mostly interested in visiting with old friends so any place with water that Allan or James won't get us thrown out of is fine.

I'd put in a vote for Alexander Springs. That's easy diving at it's best!

I'm in for these dates. I have plenty of time available. We should send an email to Gary Reese. I'll check with others.

Bryan, do we have a block of rooms on hold at the Days Inn or a "Sand Dog" rate like 2013? I'm getting ready to reserve a deluxe penthouse suite :roll: and figured I should check before I call them.

Spoke with Paul, the owner of Seminole Scuba http://www.seminolescuba.com/
This is the closest dive shop to Blue Springs. They helped us out two years ago with air fills and cylinders and weights for divers who are flying in for the event.
No problem filling 72s doubles or triples AS LONG AS THEY ARE IN CURRENT HYDRO AND VISUAL.
They are open till 5 on Saturday.
