2011 NSS-CDS Workshop

[CamG]

I am rather very motivated, I was looking at the work calendar today and think I am going to put in for Friday off.
I am ready to head down.
To much winter and not enough cave diving but it is impossible to have to much cave diving.
I will give my friends till the week end.

I just added several clinics for Sunday May 29, including guided dives at Indian Spring. In order to participate in any of the clinics you must present a ticket to the workshop. If you're interested in doing a guided dive at Indian, please contact me through PM or e-mail (chipoladivers@gmail.com) for more information.

Oh ... and I do plan to be at the workshop ...

I just received confirmation that we will be hosting an IUCRR Recovery class the weekend of the workshop on Sunday. There will be a small fee as a donation to the IUCRR and to cover certification processing fees, payable that morning. I'll be adding registration information in the next day or so.

I'm working out some deals with local hotels for workshop attendees. I still have 3 managers to speak with and will post more information as soon as I get a hold of them (should be Monday).

 

[CamG]

Thanks Rob for working on the lodging the close parks are full!
The closest today was 13 miles from Mariana so my dive buddy contacted you.
Thanks for hooking him up we are stoked and ready to get underway.

If you are delaying committing STOP THE DELAY!
Get your registration and lodging, I should have reserved a spot far ahead of time.

Yes, remember, this is Memorial Day weekend! And, believe it or not, Marianna is a vacation destination for many. Yes, it really is! There are 11 hotels in Marianna, with anywhere from 20-45 rooms each. That's a total of about 300 rooms or so. Many of the hotels I called already had rooms booked, so the sooner you book the better chance you'll have of getting a room at a good deal. I will post more information regarding the hotels by Monday at the latest, including how to get the deals I'm making.
