For those new people who may be wondering what the megadive is, the meagadive is an event that happens every spring and fall where a bunch of board members congregate at Ginnie Springs for a weekend of diving, drinking, hanging out with friends, and camping (not necessarilly in that order).
Since the usual suspects are either too busy or unable to attend this year I am going to take over the responsibility of planning the spring megadive. This is my first time planning a megadive, so if I forget something please remind me.
The tentative dates for the megadive are going to be April 23-26.
So here's the deal, we need to be expecting at least 30 people in order to reserve Turkey Roost, so if you are planning on coming you need to let me know asap.
Prices at Ginnie went up this year to $22 per adult (older than 14) after tax per night for camping; the rates for children (7-14) have not changed ($6.48 after tax per night). If you want we can pay as a group and get a discounted rate (I'll need to check on what those are). It is still $32.10 (after tax) to dive the day unless you have a full cave certification which makes it $23.54 (after tax). Air fills are $5 at Ginnie and you can get Nitrox just down the road at Cave Excursions East for $0.09/cf.
I know that at the fall megadive last year we also reserved the pavilion next to Turkey Roost. I think the cost to rent a pavilion on the weekends is $75 a day, do we need a pavillion?
I believe we have community meals on saturday for beakfast, lunch and dinner; and sunday for breakfast, but in order for those to happen I need people to bring food.
I think thats about everything, so I'm going to start the list and if you are planning to be there repost it with your name, who you are bringing, and your offering for the community meals and rum tote. (who has the rum tote?) I need someone to bring a LOTS of fire wood, so if that person is you make a note of it on the list.
