Its getting close to that time of year again. Everyone is pulling the gear out of the closets and starting to see what needs to be bought before the upcoming warmer months.
Surely everyone needs at least one good dive before the real warm months get here, so who is up for a meet and greet at Martha's Quarry?
For those who don't know, Martha's is a pretty large quarry, just outside of Nashville (Lebannon), and is great for all levels of diving. It stays pretty shallow (want to go deeper than 55ft? Bring a shovel), but still has enough challenge in the Houses to entertain more advanced divers. Itll still be fairly cold at this point, so neoprene will be a must, but its a great time for everyone to wash the dust off their gear and meet everyone else from this great state (and of course anyone else who wants to join). The central location means hopefully we can pull divers from all over the state; it is about a 3 hour drive from either end of the state.
Martha's opens in April, so we are looking for a weekend sometime in there, probably near the middle to end of the month. Anybody have suggestions for a weekend? I am willing to make a weekend of it (I will be there Sat and Sun for sure), who likes that idea? Or should we stick to just one day?
What does everyone want to do with this? Are we talking just a day of diving? Do we want food? Do we want to make a weekend out of it?
Remember, this is open to anyone who wants to come, experiance doesnt matter. We put together a small one last year, and had everything from experianced technical divers to beginning newbies. Its simply a time to meet others from the area and enjoy their company. Dont be afraid, none of us bite (except maybe Mike, he looks viscious). So how about it? Who is up for it? What dates work for you? Lets get this started!
