Hi ScubaRosie,
There is a price listed on the evite, the list of sponsors is SO LONG, that you have to scroll quite a bit to get to it.
You get 2 dives each day you participate. During each dive you will search two areas for poker chips. As each group switches from one area to another, we have "chip replenishers" that will put new chips in each area. Between your AM and PM dives you can browse one of the 11 companies that are setting up booths, play volleyball and other games or, relax under the shade of our 40x60 tent while you converse with the other divers from all over the country.
At the end of the day, we will treat you to a BBQ and after that, the auction starts.
You will use the chips you find to bid on OVER $15,00 of donated prizes each day. ALL THAT FUN FOR JUST $99.00
We hope to see you there.
Steve
