Louie for a weekend camping trip of
Fun, Games and Specialty Training at Lake Rawlings
August 22, 23, and 24
Now this will be exciting. Louie has lined up a chance for you to complete at least 6 dives and more likely, knowing Louie, 8 or 10, and to take specialty training in Night Diving, Underwater Navigation, and/or Advanced Buoyancy Techniques. Lake Rawlings has excellent visibility and has a great camping area.
And oin Saturday, you will enjoy the annual Lake Rawlings DiveFest - and you can even enter their Underwater Treasure Hunt and/or their evening scavenger hunt. Prizes will be awarded. Here's more details on the DiveFest.
Pricing for this weekend event depends on what you choose to do. Here's
how it will break out:
Park entry fee and camping for 2 nights: $70 (and this includes a free
raffle ticket on a Blackbeard's dive/sail cruise).
Treasure Hunt: $25
Scavenger Hunt: $15
Specialty training is $75 per specialty.
In order to participate in this weekend event (camping and diving with Louie), you MUST sign up in advance at Gypsy Divers. You will need to come in and complete the Lake Rawlings waivers, so that Louie can present our group documents all together on Friday. He plans to get there around noon on Friday - and get the diving started! We hope you can join him.
SCUBA Ranger Fall Schedule Coming SOON! Please stay tuned!

Now here's a great shot!
Leah Zulling grabbed this picture diving offshore NC a month ago. Here's Leah's story:
We were diving on the Spar during the Memorial Day weekend. The water temp was very comfortable in the low 70s, much more pleasant than the blustery topside weather. We giant-strided in and were immediately rewarded with a scenic view and about 18 sand tiger sharks of varying size. We had just descended when I glanced up at the wreck and saw a shark acting a little bit unusual. (It's important to note that this was John's first shark encounter, so he had no idea what to expect!) A shark swam directly towards us, swerving at the last minute and swimming in between John and I. Dad missed it; he was smitten with some amberjacks. Sharky chomped at a pretty good sized fish!! The whole thing happened so quickly, I snatched up my camera and snapped the shot. I'm not sure if he got the fish, but I suspect that he did because the poor little guy (pomano? amberjack? it was silver with a round head) was nowhere to be seen. Very exciting!!
