Blue Hole Info

Sure that many of you have already seen this, but Santa Rosa sent out a letter packet with some stuff about the new building (supposed to be a groundbreaking in May). A copy of it is here:

for anyone who didn't get it.

Thanks for that update.
It looks like membership is a good idea to show support and to help get the ball rolling.

Thanks for posting the letter. I for one did not receive anything. I think I will become a 'friend'

Hey Jason,

Thanks for the info. I have a question for you all. Is the 25 for indvidual your dive permit as well as enrollment in dive for friends or is it seperate? Is there is another form for the yearly dive permits? We normaly buy as we go 8 per person per weekend, this year I am thinking about yearly permits for us.
To bad there is nothing in there about imposeing a fee for the kids that always are jumping off the rocks, always makes me nervous about surfaceing. Have made it a point to stay about 20-25 feet deep and surface by the stairs. Maybe I'm just getting old, starting to forget what it was like to be a kid .

Hi Daxter,

There is a seperate 25 fee for the yearly permit, and you can download the application here:

If you plan on going more than 3 times a year, then obviously this makes sense. And I like it so much better cause you don't have to try to track down the person to buy the weekend ones from.
I have also seen some talk of starting a small fee for the swimmers/jumpers, but I don't know how likely that is or when it might happen.

Take care,
Jason

you know, I sent in the form and check for my dive permit for this year about 3 weeks ago and still haven't gotten it. Has anyone gotten their 2007 permit yet? Last year I had it back in a week. I am itching to try out my new drysuit at BH before we head over to Calif again.
