Jupiter Meet with SeaHunter this Weekend!

[ScubaFinder]

I talked with Joseph (Rio Bravo) this morning, he and his ship will definitely be at Jupiter this weekend with Scott and the SeaHunter. I'll be staying on the Bravo, but I want to make sure I get to meet and hang with everyone else too. We were discussing how many people were going to be there, who was staying where, meeting points and launch times, who plans to be on what vessel, is Tom bringing his boat, where is the nearest bar of ill repute, and important things like that.

Not to be a planner, but it's probably time to have a show of hands, who all is definitely coming, what are you bringing with you, and which vessel do you want to dive from?

I will be driving down from Jacksonville, Fl on Thursday.

I am planning on looking around Fort Pierce and the Treasure Coast.

I have talked with Scott on the Sea Hunter and would like to dive off
his boat.

I also have talked to Robert Gecy but I am having trouble contacting
him regarding where he is going to stay in Fort Pierce. I will try again
today (Tuesday).

How does the weather look?

Dinkydick

See you all there

Dick,

I will call you today. Sorry, I haven't called you back. I will be arriving on Friday but could be there Thursday night if anyone is planning on doing some dives Friday.

Tom, if you are bringing your boat maybe we could check out some of the spots just off shore on Friday. Maybe even pull that AX2000 mag you got. I want to check it out, thinking of buying an AX2000 Professional Model. I am up for anything.

Went shopping for a pair of Speedo's (didn't want to be left out of the
group). Saleman said he never heard of Speedo's being made in extra
large sizes, HUH?

Looked around a little more and found a pair of Hot Pink Spandex shorts,
and they were on sale.

Can't wait to wear 'em.

Crapola...I wish I had gotten involved on this forum sooner 'cause I'd love to join you guys sometime. I'm in Pensacola, FL which is actually about an 8-9 hour drive down there but would certainly be worth it to me. You guys be safe and bring in the loot!

hi pcolaboy,
is the drive the only obstacle you have cause theres gonna be a lot of diving and ground to cover and detect, and there may not be such a chance as this.
everybody can thank seahunter for kickin it up a notch for gettin the bravo and i will insure that this is the fullest expedition within the time allotted.
giving forgiveness to Mr Ruth's comments this site is far from cleaned up and only time will tell.
i antisipate a full regiment of all aspects of treasure diving, only leaving the most commen aspect of every projects logged recordings in the dust..............................nothing today

 

[pcolaboy]

Hey RioBravo,

Beyond lobbying for spousal approval on short notice the drive is the least of my worries. :P I'm a pharmaceutical rep and travel all the time.

I have some quick questions:

Cost?
Depth of wreck(s)?
Gear needed besides basic scuba?

Thanks,

Pcolaboy

 

[riobravo]

hi pcolaboy,
good first anchor, boy will you be losing brownie points, but to answer your questions,
dependind on the people already on the list and factoring in a few more beside yourself, you could make 2-4 rotations on the bravo. thats diving alone if busy we still have light room for observers.
if scheduled soon and your trip is overnight ill put you up on the bravo one night.
cost = $ 0 + your travel
depth = shallow, site positioning of teams will be directly related to experiance and certification( note to all, must be certified divers with c card to partisipate in diving activities)
just basic gear( always bring extra mask, fin straps, swim ear, ect.)
anyone with all new gear will need to do a skill test

 

[riobravo]

anyone in a speedo dives first

 

[ScubaFinder]

WooHooooo! I have more C-cards than my wallet will hold, my gear is very used (but well maintained), and I have a speedo....get in line punks! :P

I'm sure there'll be plenty to do on the boat too, tank fills, tieing Dinky to the keel, throwing fake treasure overboard to screw with the newbies, etc. Hey wait, I'm a newbie...DANG!

scubaseeker,
thanks for starting this thread as it is still busy for some of us as we close to this gathering.
you know you are expected to find more coins than everyone Else with the five star bunk .
on another note this weekend is task loading and i would like to hear from some of you , i expect to be with seahunter tomorrow and was expecting to have solidified more structure by now.
FYI we expect to do a prospective dig on a permitted site with fair to great results, without change in gov policies this could be one of the last chances for many, if you are planning to participate dont do it last minute as we are already busy here.
thanks,
JAS

 

[riobravo]

hi all,
as it stands rgecy is in... scubaseeker is in... chagy , darren, salvor,loren, dinky at least send pics we can chop and post you with us..............

 

[mad4wrecks]

I'm in. I'll see you all out there Saturday morning, bright and early, even if I have to swim out from the beach.
I may bring my boat but it needs few (minor) things done first and I am working 12 hour shifts until Friday.
Tom

 

[riobravo]

hi g,
we have a tender for the bravo, and will be glad to pick you up, sorry i forgot your name in the line up, not to mention fisheye, bill in Stuart..... all the rest........... a literal meeting of the minds, Scott is pretty current on records and history but all info brought with would be appreciated as this wreck is far from cleanedout

 

[Salvor6]

Hey Rio, Lauren is not comming.

 

[Chagy]

I will be there on Friday with Darren....We are still waiting for Rob to get in touch....

All the best ,

Chagy.........
