Hello all,

For those who are interested in learning more about GUE / DIR and meeting divers in this realm, this might be for you. No previous experience or training is required, just the desire to have fun and learn something:

GUE / DIR Dive Day
Hosted by Mid-South and Bluegrass Underwater Explorers (MSUE / BGUE)
at Pennyroyal Blue Springs Resort (Hopkinsville, KY)
Saturday, Sept. 20, 2008

This is a FREE event: your only expenses are the same as any other dive day (site admission, tank fills, snacks, etc.)

This is a chance to learn about the GUE diving philosophy, do some fun diving, and even try some new equipment. Everyone is welcome, from absolute beginner to seasoned diver. No GUE training or DIR experience is necessary. GUE Instructor Ed Gabe will give a free presentation and an in-water skills demonstration. Diving will take place all day Saturday, plus some will stick around to camp out, dive at night, and on Sunday morning. Pennyroyal Scuba has a lunch stand, and we'll be grilling out, pot luck style. Pennyroyal offers good visibility, excellent on-site facilities, lots of things to see under water, and depths to 120'.

Tentative Schedule for Saturday, Sept. 20:
Morning: fun dives
Noon: Pot luck lunch
1:00pm: Presentation by Ed Gabe: Intro to GUE and DIR diving
2:30pm: Skills demonstration dive
3:30pm: More fun diving and equipment test dives
Evening: more food and fun, possibly night dives, etc.

Sunday, Sept. 21:
Morning: fun dives
Afternoon: travel home

RSVP is required; please contact Mike Loyco at mikeloyco at gmail.com.

This Saturday's dive day is really turning into a fun time. Lunch is potluck; please bring something to share with the group. We'll be diving all day and evening. Who knows, you might walk away with some free stuff too.
