Re: Headed for Akin - DanL - 07-04-2002
Mark, Lake Diver,<br>Currently planning to dive St Cloud quarries this Sat, but if they require insurance, etc or if theer are other restrictions, I'll head for Crosby.<br>Will post again Friday PM after I talk to Stearns county folks about reqmnts for diving their pits.<br>Mark, looking fwd to seeing you again.<br>Dan
Re: Headed for Akin - DanL - 07-05-2002
Found that diving is not allowed at St Cloud unless with an instructional group thru a dive shop. Extensive commercial insurance requirements, etc.<br><br>Net, Crosby looks like the place for me this weekend. I will arrive Louise about 9:30 - 10am with a buddy, Bill. Plan 2 dives, refill/lunch, one PM dive and return home late PM.<br><br>Dan

Guys, (Dan, Bill, Jerry and Jose)<br>Thanks for a great days diving. Nice to meet you Bill and Jose. Dan Thanks for taking me to 102 feet ;D The skeleton in the cave looked really cool, or was that just the temp :-)<br>Shame you couldn't join us on the last dive, hope your Octo is OK now. We only hovered around 25 feet but there was plenty of fish to see and swimming in and out of the trees was awesome. <br>I actually managed to get 135 minutes worth of diving and the last dive was for 60 minutes...longest yet so two records broken in 1 day :
<br>I am going to Lake Wazee next weekend for my Advanced course then free the next weekend (I hope) if anyone wants to dive.<br>Thanks again guys for a great day out.<br>Mark

Mark, Jerry, Jose - <br>Thanks for the great diving. <br>Bill mistakenly picked up a mesh equipmwnt bag from the tarp I laid out. He thought it wsa mine and put it in my car. Does it belong to one of you?<br>I have it - guess we'll just have to dive together again if you ever want to see it!<br>Thanks again.<br>Dan
