MHK and the Great Escape
Invitational
Catalina Chamber Benefit Dive
Osborne Banks
September 17, 2000
The following is the game plan for the trip on the Great Escape. Tim =
has
agreed to a reduced charter fee for this trip. I am charging $100 for =
the
cost of the trip, food and air will be additional. All proceeds above =
the
charter fee will be donated to the chamber.
Assuming the weather cooperates we plan on doing 2 dives at Osborne =
Banks.
Osborne is considered an advanced site and only experienced divers =
qualified
at diving depths of 130' or greater should sign up for this trip. We =
will
require a certification card for the planned dive. In other words, we =
will
allow trimix diving for those certified in trimix. We will allow 100%
oxygen for those certified in the use of 02. We will NOT allow diver's =
not
certified to dive mixes above their certification level. There will be =
NO
exceptions to this policy so please do NOT ask.
Given the advanced depths at this site we intend to run the following
schedule:
Gate 1 will open at 7:00am and will close at 8:00am. We would request =
that
any trimix diver's or any diver's requiring decompression obligations be
prepared to enter the water as soon as the gate opens. After all =
diver's
are back on the boat we will close the gate for a three-hour surface
interval. I (MHK) will be making a trimix dive during this SIT so there
will be no diving during this period of time. (I will discuss the =
liability
issues should anyone have any questions in this regard.).
The second gate will open at approx. 11:00 and will close at 12:00. As =
soon
as all divers are on the boat we will return to San Pedro.
The above is all based upon weather, so if the weather does not =
cooperate we
will need to adjust the schedule. More than likely we would go to Santa
Barbara Island. However, as with any dive, we cannot control the =
weather.
Inasmuch as I have received substantial interest regarding trimix dives,
those diver's must understand that if the weather doesn't cooperate and =
we
must go to alternative sites that may not correspond to the planned =
dive/mix
we will NOT offer refunds. This event is about raising money for the
chamber so please understand this prior to signing up. Furthermore, the
Great Escape does NOT provide hydrocarbon free air, so anyone diving =
Nitrox,
02 will need to bring their own gases.
Staterooms will be reserved on a first come, first serve basis.
Staterooms A,D & F have already been confirmed ). We reserve the right =
to
approve all potential diver's due to the extreme depths of this site.
