Reprint of an old post:
The City of Winter Park's lake clean up event is scheduled for Saturday May 2nd, 2009
Co Sponsors include Dayo Scuba and ScubaBoard.com
Fire-rescue will be checking up on us in case in anything. If its too many people, the City might want to limit the amount of people going in.
As of right now, the City might close boating for residents but there is the Winter Park scenic boat tour that goes around the lakes on the hour.
Here are some new information on the LAKES:
- Lake Virginia: It can be reach by shore through Rollins College. It also has, Dinky Dock for boat ramp but it has LIMITED PARKING.
- Lake Osceola: Easier to reach by boat. Groups who will clean here will need a boat and must leave from Dinky Dock. It can also be reached by a private entrance but that is still to be determined.
- Lake Maitland: By shore through Kraft azalea garden or by boat through the boat dock at Maitland. I am still talking with the City of Maitland for permits.
- Lake Mizzell: The clearest water and the least amount of motor boat traffic. Can be reached by boat through Dinky Dock.
*** FOR THOSE BRINGING THEIR BOATS *** I need to know the type of boat and the Florida registration number in advance. That way we can exempt you from the City user fee for the day. If they already have a pass for their boat, then that is okay too.
the event is still scheduled for Saturday, May 2nd however time might vary. If we can restrict private boats, then the event will be from 9am - 12pm. If not then it will be from 7am - 10am.
Dayo Scuba will be having a BBQ after the dive(s) at its shop. They are also offering free AIR fills that day to divers doing the clean up. More details to come.
No alcohol or drugs at any of the dive sites period
Common sense please..don't litter, ect..we may get local news media coverage too
ALL divers will sign a liability release
YOU DIVE AT YOUR OWN RISK
