I was expecting to get a sales pitch about DIR/Halcyon and it
never came all weekend.

Curtis probably tipped them off into giving you a free ride on the
first exposure...either that, or things have really changed without G3
being around anymore :-)

See what happens when you listen to too many one sided comments? ;-)

The next morning, we did a double dip on the Spiegel.
The current was just ripping that morning so Captain Bob
dropped us on the bow ball to start the second dive and
then moved to the ball on the pilot house where we all
came up. It made for a longer, more pleasant dive.

I've seen this sort of technique used before, as a comprimise between
a drift dive and being on a mooring. It does work quite well (as you
found), but this does assume that all of the divers actually pay
attention to what the plan is during the pre-dive briefing.

Considering this was day three with the same group, and these were ocean
trained GUE divers as well as John and I, would you expect any less than
plan followed?

John and I watched Slate unhook and Capt Bob hook while on the line.
Back-up plan was if Slate had divers still in, we'd surface on the ball, let
him know we were with SW, wait for Capt Bob to acknowledge us, then drift to
our unmoored boat from there.

It was the first dive on the Bibb for all three of us.

One of these years, I'll get to the Duane & Bibb. Won't be this year
for sure.

I for one would love to dive with you again, sure John agrees. Give
warning when you wanna hit FL.
