I'll be at Cerulean on the 11th and 12th. Be there with an Instructor and probably his son doing my checkout dives.
I am probably going to dive at the treasure hunt at Cerulean on the 18th. There will be a group from the Evansville area (see the link in my signature) at Pennyroyal on the 19th, if you're interested.

I am also considering the Treasure Hunt on the 18th at DC ! It's for a great cause.

Hmmm. I might have to rent some gear for that weekend. Anybody feel like havin a newbie tag along? Not sure if the treasure hunt might be a bit advanced for me or not. Could be a good learning experience. I'll have to see how my qualification goes this weekend. What exposure suit do I need for pennyroyal? I don't know too many details about it other than that its deeper and colder.
Shouldn't be too hard for a newbie. Cerulean's only about 35' deep (if you dig a little bit). In most treasure hunts I've seen you search for a golf ball that have #'s on them that correspond to a prize (although this one could be a little different). The only difficult part is the visibility. With a bunch of divers scouring the bottom for golf balls...... you get the idea, it drops pretty quick. I know Pennyroyal still hasn't completely cleared up since the one held there in July. They're a lot of fun though. I'll be there with a few members of a local diving club, you could feel free to join up with us. We'll buddy up or group up as needed. Our group looks at it this way- there's always room for 1 more.

I talked to the shop today and I'll be all certified and ready to rock and roll in plenty of time for the treasure hunt. I didn't know it was for the wounded warriors foundation either. (found that out talkin to my instructor) being a soldier and multiple combat tour veteran, I don't see how I could pass up something like this. I've already arranged rental gear and everything... just need a dive buddy. How much is it to enroll and what all needs to be brought? Last I heard vis was around 10 feet... so I'm guessing that by the time the hunt kicks off it'll be about 0. Lovely. I don't have a light or anything like that, hell I don't have anything but the basics. Still wouldn't mind goin and being a part of it though. Don't suppose anyone has any information about it and the organization throwin it? If its here on Ft. Campbell and involves diving, I'd love to be a part!
The entry fee is $35 for civilian & $30 for military (doesn't say if veteran or active or not but that military ID is required). By the way, Thank you for serving 
. The quarry opens at 8:00, a dive briefing at 10:30 & the hunt begins at 11:00 & lasts until 12:00. You can look up more info at www.underwaterwarriors.org & download an entry form. Like I said you're welcome to join our group & we'll pair off or group up as necessary. I think we'll have a banner & maybe a small booth there, just look for or ask for Evansville Scuba Club. I'm sure some of us will also have T-shirts with the same logo on them. As for anything beyond basic equipment, it's probably not really necessary. Lights won't do you much good in 0 vis. & the quarry is shallow enough that you will most likely run out of air before NDL unless you really sip air. The only thing you might want is maybe a thin wet suit (depending on how easily you get cold). It's mostly very warm (probably close to 88- 85 degrees), but can get chilly down at the back wall near the spring.

Thanks Tammy. I'll have to try and find you guys when I get there. I don't think I'll be doin much "sipping" of air being a newbie and all. Guess we'll see. I'll get with you for some more info and everything once it gets a little closer to next weekend. Looking forward to meeting you all. Thanks!
