Even if you do not have a team they will hook you up with someone. My first year there my team was a no-show. I was the only one there. I got teamed up with DTM and Navychop and had a great time.

A couple of friends and I are talking about going this year. Is there an arrangement during Trashfest for fills? I've heard the closest dive shop is pretty far away.

The New Braunfels Fire Department will fill tanks as there are no emergencies!
 
I've been planning to go, but I may have a conflict at this point that will prevent me from attending.
 
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that pre-registration will be closing this Friday, Sept 24! So don't delay, register your team today on the TrashFest website.

If you miss pre-registration or don't have a team, no worries! Just show up on the 2nd and we'll get you registered or on a team!

Sponsors have donated nearly $34,000 in awesome trips, equipment, and other great prizes so you won't want to miss out!

See everyone on the 2nd! :D

count me in for the clipper voucher (or heck, gristmill gift certificate)!
 
Hope everyone has a great time with no rain and plenty of trash to go around.. (hopefully they didn't contract a company to clean the river just prior to TF like they did in 09')
I'll miss hanging and diving with everyone this year. Oct 2nd is the day I'll be diving the mighty "O" via the Spree, so no-go for me, but I look forward to hearing reports and seeing pictures of the event.
 
Have fun at Trash Fest everyone and good luck with the prizes! Again this year, I've donated some dive packages for Cozumel with Blue XT~Sea Diving so hope to see some of you soon!

And for the person that finds my camera (not very likely) in the Comal river - there's a 3-day package for you too!

I lost it on July 18th at the very last public tubing exit. It's a point and shoot Casio in a clear acrylic housing with orange trim and has a black and orange lanyard! The pics are family pictures - it was the last day of a family reunion so they are pretty special!

Have fun and dive safe!!!
 
So did anyone register teams? Just meet in the morning to register together? Where is the Swamper supper on Friday?
