Anyone in the Coon Rapids area want to dive Labor day - Arkman - 08-22-2010
I'm hoping to get out diving in the twin cities area over labor day weekend. Any one want to go out dive that weekend? I'm hoping for something fairly relaxed. I haven't been out very much in the last few years and just trying to get back into it.

Coon Rapids here (Hanson and 10) - I can dive on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays
I am in, where do you wanna go?
Re: Anyone in the Coon Rapids area want to dive Labor day - Arkman - 08-23-2010
I've never dove around there. I'm up for anywhere and I don't mind driving a bit to get there. I think Sunday should work but I'll have to check with my wife to make sure we don't have a photo shoot scheduled.
Any suggestions on the location?

Being that far north, you may want to check out Spectacle. (1/2 hr or so) It is in between Princeton and Cambridge. There is a beach on the east side you can access and a resort on the south side that I have used.

Thanks for the suggestion - sounds good to me
Sunday afternoon would work - say around 3:00 pm
Let me know!

Ok, I got the OK from the wife. We have no photo sessions that day so we should be good to go. I'm not picky about where we go, I'd be ok with driving a bit more to a site if you know of someplace better than Spectacle.
acharpenter- Are you ok with doing something on the easy side of the spectrum. I'm still a little rusty and I'd like to keep simple. Don't be afraid though, I'm rusty..but safe. ;D How many dives are you looking to do? I have everything but tanks on my own and I'm hoping to take my uncles for the day and I believe he has 4 of them.

Spectacle is just fine on my end unless you have a better idea....maybe the quarry in St.Cloud? I have never dove there
I am all about the easy dives - I wont even go below 60 feet so I think we should be fine
Im usually good for 1 possibly 2 dives....
Re: Anyone in the Coon Rapids area want to dive Labor day - acharpenter - 08-26-2010
Yup - thats right. I wanted to get out there last year and never made it, thinking as long as no one minds the drive it would be great

I'm game for St. Cloud or Spectacle. This is a link to some info on the quarry for anyone interested. Just let me know the time and place. I'll be there.
