Buttercup gets framed...the FULL Story of Athens #3

The July Athens event...my sides still hurt from laughing so hard!!!

The First Athens event...where it all started!!!


Summary of Details for the FOURTH SW Regional SingleDivers.com Athen's Scuba Park Dive Trip:

Hi All! On Oct 29th - 31st we will be having a HALLOWEEN PARTY TO END ALL HALLOWEEN PARTIES - Can single people party or what????including scavenger hunts and/or treasure hunts...pumpkin relays and contests and much more along with camping-out & diving all weekend at Athen's Scuba Park, located in Athen's TX. We will also be doing Discover Scuba's for people who want to try out our sport and offer some nice amenities like our very own dive massage therapist who will be doing diving massages for reduced rates! We will be out at the park at 1:00pm on Friday, Oct 29th and be leaving the park on Sunday around noon or whenever everyone wants to leave. (We left at 5pm in July & Sept!) We will again be on docks #1 & #2 right by the Dive Shop, Showers, Hot Tub & Pool.

Details: Friday Oct 29th arrive at Athens Scuba Park 1:00pm (Map Included),
leave on Sunday Oct 31st.

Park Fees: Certified Divers - $15.00 per day + 5.00 to camp out
If camping Friday night and doing a night dive...no dive fee will be charged.
Students in Training - $15.00 per day + 5.00 to camp out
Swim/Watcher - $5.00 per day + 5.00 to camp out

Park Hours:
8:00 am to 6:00pm (gate not locked on THIS weekend!)

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 WON'T lock at 6pm on this weekend 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 IF YOU PRE-REGISTER IN ADVANCE 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!!!

-Deb aka Dejah & Kamala aka Wreck Wench

See you there!!!

I'll go, however not sure if I can take off that Friday for the full day so I may have to come in the evening on Fri. If we do Halloween weekend are we also going to do a Pumpkin Carving Contest?

I think we can do a costume contest and pumpkin carving (as long as we clean the pumpkins first...no goo in the water!)

So would I need to arrive on Thursday (10/28) evening or Friday afternoon (10/29)? I assume I would be heading back the evening of 10/31.

You could arrive on Thursday in time for our Oct Happy Hour and we'll make it in your honor! WOO!!! HOO!!! I'll take care of lodging on Thursday and arrangements to pick you up at the airport. You can fly back late on Sunday or super early on Monday...again we'll take care of lodging and getting you to the airport!

Cool... :wakawaka:
