Dutch Springs in PA

[Curly]

Do you know where you'll be staying? There are a number of LDSs in the area, and plenty that can give you drysuit instruction. Let me kno where you'll be and I'll post a list of URLs for local shops.

Did anyone go to Dutch Springs this past weekend? We met up with ScubaBob123, and had a great time diving.

If you want to see some pics and short video check out my web site: ScubaStruck

We dove the Helicopter this time. I really thought that it would be a nicer dive, but was a little dissapointed. Does anyone know if the rotor was removed when they sunk the helicopter at Dutch Springs? I am assuming this was done for saftey reasons?

They were taken off before sinking.

On this page, there's a bunch of good shots -- including the rotor-less Sikorsky on dry ground...

Hi Curly

Thanks for the reply. I will be crashing at a friend's place on South 6th Street.

Hope you'll have some recommendations for me! Many thanks...

Well since you're going to be in the city, there are a lot of shops in the surrounding suburbs.

http://www.northeastscubasupply.com -- In the Norristown area.

http://www.diveunderwaterworld.com -- Horsham.

http://www.divingbell.com/bellsea.htm -- This one is right in center city, although I am not familiar with it. From the look of the site, I am not sure they offer drysuit instruction.

Thanks Curly! That's very useful!!

Now I just have to find out whether any of these operators rents out BP/wing...

Cheers

is at 1100 Columbus Blvd, very near South Street, if that helps you with location. They do offer dry suit. As for BP/w setup, not sure if they offer it on a rental basis. Many of their instructors do dive this config.
