Hey gang!
I'm attempting to start a scuba club at the University of Mary Washington here in Fredericksburg, VA. I'm excited but neverous. Hopefully people will show up to the meeting tomorrow. My fingers are crossed.
Anyways, since I'm from Florida, I'm not familiar at all with places to dive up hear. I've heard about Rawlings (still not exactly sure where that is) but was wondering what else is there. Is anything close to Fredericksburg? I'm not sure how committed to diving members of the club are going to be so I'm not quite sure yet how far they're willing to drive or how much they're willing to do. (I'll be a bit heartbroken if all they want to do is go to Florida for spring break). So I want to have options for all kinds of diving so no one gets turned off. And maybe suggestions for helping uncertified people get certified? I was thinking about calling the dive shop up the street and asking them about that (I'd feel like I was being a little forward but it would be nice to be able to set up a collaboration with them).
So any advice or listing of dive sites or assistance (tagging along with you experienced VA divers) or anything would be extremely helpful!
