Lake Cleanup Event - Orlando Area - Calling all advanced divers

[Briny Liney]

Wow! This sounds like a lot of fun! And so close to home too which is a plus. Fifteen minute drive to a dive in Orlando! I love it! Plus being able to help is also good too. I should be home from school by then. My last exam is the 29th of April so count me in!

Ok, so has an actual roster been developed yet? I know it's early, but if you start listing names now it gives time to determine how many you "should" have for each lake (how big are the lakes, how much time is available, etc..), and also how much and what support that may be needed. Also a roster now can help settle issues of "certs" and "experience." You can team people based on skill sets and experience if you wish. The idea of surface support (yak, small boat) is a good one, for safety as well as handling trash. A roster now also gives everyone a better handle as far as planning. Makes it easy to guilt people who back out at the last minute.

I agree. Start a roster in the OP so we can get a real count. It makes good sense for the logistics to be organized. I'm in.

You guys are right, I will start working on a roster this weekend, this week has been nutty for me and I'm glad I found some time to get on the forums at least! I never expected such an enormous turnout so it'll take me a bit to compile it..and that's a good thing!! One of the companies who has volunteered to help in the event is Dayo Scuba. They will be offering free air fills the day of the event along with diving as well. They are also planning a BBQ at the Dayo Scuba shop after the event. More details to come on that as I coordinate with them but yes I will get started on the 1st draft of the roster.

Once I get the first draft semi finalized I will check with NETDOC to see if we can get a sticky forum going for confirmed event divers.

Please keep the idea's coming folks they are great!

oh yeah NETDOC has offered to put up a banner on scubaboard to help bring awareness of the event to SB viewers, graphic art is not my forte..would anyone we willing to create a banner for the event to put up on the site? PM if you are interested, I have some simple guidelines that need to be followed (size, content ect..), I can't pay you for the work, but I'll buy you a beer or something

I have gotten word from some local bass fishermen that the group that fishes lake Conway wednesday nights from 7-11pm would love to help out. lets get them involved.

Put me down as a diver, and as a sponsor. Beverages for all participants, and some type of free stuff TBD. Are we allowed to have a keg?

 

[cyberfed]

Since this is a city event no alcohol allowed at the dive sites.

However anything that happens at say a scuba shop would be fair game as long as said scuba shop was ok with it

 

[BWDscott]

They can't stop us from drinkin' on our own time and at our own place!

Hey Kev... I wasn't sure you could find your way to Central Florida from down there. lol

 

[divedude1962]

Put me on the list.

Heck, Clan Solutions, LLC.® High Quality Gaming Servers and Clan Solutions. , could even help offset the cost of the burgers / dogs / chips / and adult after diving beverages
