Hi All! On Sept 24th - 26th we will be having a camp-out & diving weekend at Athen's Scuba Park, located in Athen's TX. We will be out at the park at 1:00pm on Friday, Sept 24th and be leaving the park on Sunday around noon or whenever everyone wants to leave. (We left at 5pm in July!) We will again be on docks #1 & #2 right by the Dive Shop, Showers, Hot Tub & Pool.

Map to Park: http://www.athensscubapark.com/map.htm
Upon arriving at the Park you will need to pay your weekend fee's for your full stay at the dive shop, & then tell them you want to head to Dock 1 & 2 which are right next to the dive shop...hot tub....pool....showers....and all the fun stuff, or ask for the SingleDivers group....they'll know where we are! Many of us will be doing some dives right away early on Friday and of course night diving on both Friday and Saturday nights.
Some Rules of the Park:
1. The gates DON'T lock at 6pm on the weekends so we don't have to worry about that anymore.
2. You can byob BUT it must be in cans or plastic...ABSOLUTELY NO GLASS of any kind is allowed in the park!!!! (Not only can you be asked to leave for violating that rule but the ENTIRE group can be asked to leave for one person's infraction!)
3. We were told we were the cleanest group trash wise during our first visit so I hope we continue that trend on this next visit!
We are offering to those interested discounted Single Divers .com certifications including: Night Dive, Navigation, peak buoyancy or Search & Recovery certification through Padi, Naui or possibly other certifying agencies if you need a different one. Please post questions in this thread so all can learn from the replys or feel free to private message me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Please stay tuned for more details and we will be sending a survey to all divers coming for the weekend how you want to handle food, lodging, & fun!!!
