Dont miss the 2011 NSS-CDS Workshop in Marianna, FL!
The theme this year is Exploration & Conservation.
Do you think theres nothing out there left to explore?
Do you think all the virgin cave has already been found and lined?
Youre wrong!
We have several speakers lined up to come talk about current, ongoing exploration projects throughout Florida and the world.
This years workshop is dedicated to the memory of Wes Skiles, one of the forefront explorers and conservationists in cave diving. Come join us at the Citizens Lodge in Marianna Friday, May 27 at 7pm to hear some of his closest friends talk about many of Wes explorations and projects.
Saturday, May 28, will be held at Chipola College and will provide us with a full line up of explorers who are going to tell us about their current and recent projects. Lunch is provided with paid admission. And there will be great door prizes a Shearwater Predator dive computer, a Hollis SMS100 sidemount system, and much more!
Sunday, May 29, well head over to Blue Springs Recreational Area (Jackson Blue) for several clinics. This year well have an in-water Rebreather Clinic, an in-water Sidemount Clinic, and clinics on how to best use your Shearwater Predator, the features of the new KISS GEM SCR, an introductory HOG regulator clinic, and more!
Dont miss this great event held in Jackson County, Florida. While at one point in our history cave diving was outlawed in Jackson County, things have changed drastically. Jackson County may be the best supporter of cave diving in Florida, maybe even in the world. The members of the Tourist Development Council and the County Board of Directors realize that cave divers contribute a lot into the local economy. To show their gratitude, admission to Jackson Blue is free all weekend to workshop attendees. Simply present your workshop badge and get your free pass. Thats a $45 value!
Dont miss this great weekend!
