Sticky Please

The City of Winter Park's lake clean up event is scheduled for:
Saturday Nov. 14th
Co Sponsors include Dayo Scuba 723 Executive drive Winter Park Florida 407.292.9727 Cave Diver Forum, and ScubaBoard

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.

This time we will be cleaning Lake Baldwin


*** 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, Nov 14th the event will be from 8am - 12pm.

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 must show proof of certification
ALL divers will sign a liability release
YOU DIVE AT YOUR OWN RISK



Suggested (and highly recommended) dive gear:
Gloves
Trash bag (aka lobster bag or something like that)
At least two lights
If you have a dive flag bring it just in case we need them
If diving Nitrox please know your MOD and don't exceed it (though unlikely to happen in these lakes)
Knife or scissors - entanglement is very possible please be prepared to deal with that underwater

Looks like the Weather is turning. Should be a nice dive. I have heard that the navy left all sorts of stuff in that lake when they closed the base.
 
This will be fun! Unfortunately, I will be in the Sea of Cortes on a liveaboard during this event! Take lots of pictures!
 
I hope you don't mean of the lake.



Ken
Sure... the preparation, the divers, the resultant trash and of course: the lake! :D
 
I guess I should have used the preposition "in" instead of "of" in my phrase.

Any participation updates?
