Cave Excursions REACT - UPDATE

[lstrait]

This year we are offering the Dive Rite Nomad EXP and Nomad XT as our main specials for the REACT party. Call 386.776.2299 for more information on the specials.


Nomad EXP - http://www.diverite.com/products/catalog/nomad/bc4500
Nomad XT- http://www.diverite.com/products/catalog/nomad/bc4650p

We are now taking pre-orders on these systems.

Dive Rite will also be offering Dry Suits on special the day of the event. These will be a steal, but you must pay with CASH!







Just a reminder that if you want to attend the Sidemount Clinic presented by Lamar Hires, you MUST pre-register. The clinic will start at 10 am. Call Linda or Karen @ 386.776.2299. If we don’t have enough individuals, the clinic may not happen, so SIGN UP TODAY!!!


Also, the guided dives are still being offered. At present Telford seems to be the most popular destination, but don’t forget about Suwannee Blue, Trap, Kitty, Little River, Cow and Peacock. If you have a system you want to try, let us know, we will do everything we can to get a guide for you. If the guides don’t know you are coming, you may miss out on the dives because they will be diving for themselves, so call Linda or Karen and set up for the dives.


Don’t forget the boat rides to Telford. This was a popular event last year, so if you want to dive Telford, this is the quickest and easiest way to get to the system.
The NACD, CDS and the Florida Springs Alliance will be there with booths, so make sure you check them out.


Make sure you sign up for the door prizes and also the Free Fill of Nitrox (1 per diving customer).


Hope to see you all there!!

It might be helpful to say when and where this will take place.

[lstrait]

Sorry for the oversight. The event will take place on October 30th at Cave Excursions in Luraville - physical address is: 20338 180th Trace; Live Oak, FL 32060 (or Rennaker's). Begins @ 8am. Boat rides begin around 9am. If you are wanting a guided dive, the time will need to be determined between you and the guide.

wow, is telford open to the public again or is it still a walk up through from the river ?

They're running a boat up so you don't have to walk. Land access is still closed to the general public.

[whodunit68]

and it's only a 10 minute swim up to the run anyway....I've done it 1/2 dozen times over the last 2 months or so...

Sam and I will be down in the area this weekend. Hope to put some more faces to screen names.

Cheers!

Woo hoo! Looking forward to it!

I will be guiding Peacock early, leaving the shop @ 09:00. There is room for one more diver if anyone is looking to dive. I am driving a black GMC envoy. Possibly Cow as well later in the afternoon.

Ive looked at the river at Telford where the road ends but figured the current would be too swift to swim against. Now if I had a scooter....anyway Ill be at React especially around eating time which I think is 4pm.

Bobby - Looking forward to meeting up with you.

Great event as always! Thanks for the good times, good deals, and food!

Lamar put on a great sidemount clinic, lots of good information and dialog.

[Jim Wyatt]

This was a good time. The NFSA appreciates all the folks who bought our new tee shirts and hats.

The food was excellent, but I ate too much!!

[L.A.]

I'm with Jim, ate waaay too much because the food was so good. Had a great time and appreciate the event. Bill and Linda did a great job of hosting. :-)

[stairman]

I had a good time and dive as well, Got to meet a few new folks and even won a reel. The weather was cool but the nats werent. Too bad John didnt fire up the wing dinger this time though.

[deanme]

Great event. Food was outstanding. Fun seeing all the people. Thank you Bill for making this happen.

That's because most of Shirley's pictures were taken during dinner, and I ate too much of that great food Bill provided.

My thanks to Linda and Bill for putting on a great event. I really appreciated getting the guides/buddy's arranged and a set of doubles ready to go.

[JCGoodwin]

Bill, Linda, and Karen thank you for a great week!
From talking cave diving to getting great service you guys are on it!
I had the best time and will be back very soon!
Lamar's clinic was very interesting to see what was new as well as ask questions.

Yeah, well I hate ALL of you!

(I HAD to be at church this morning at 7:30, and I couldn't see driving home late last night after the festivities...)

[sandy]

I too had a great time talking with friends and meeting new friends, and I got to dive with my daughter which is always a plus. Thanks to Bill, Linda, and Dive Rite for all the the efforts they made to make REACT possible. Thanks also for letting the NACD set up a table as we were able to sign up a few new members.

Jim, we enjoyed sitting next to you and chatting. Those NFSA duckweed shirts are the best. Sorry our dawgs could not pull out a win. Congrats to Ben and the rest of the gator nation out there.

[sskasser]

That was fun indeed! Thanks Linda and Bill! And thanks everyone who bought NFSA t-shirts and memberships!

It was great seeing everyone.

I only took a few pictures, but they're all up on Facebook. I'll try to remember to post some here tonight.

[Jim Wyatt]

[icestac]

I had a great time. Got to meet lots to people, eat good food, and spend some money :) Hope to be back down next year. Thanks everyone!

Cheers,
Jeff

I had a great time too! Big thanks to Linda and Bill for getting this together and Denise for volunteering her time to guide us in Telford. I had a blast there. Sunday we dove Kitty spring, beautiful place it has tons of cave there! I will definitely be back.

I will post a few pics from the event in the evening.

[lstrait]

Dad and I would like to thank all that attended the REACT party. It was a great time and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Was extremely happy to see the NACD and the NFSA there as well. Thank you all for the compliments, it means a great deal. I know I'm early, but start thinking about next years party and what you would like to see happen.

This was my first year at REACT and although I didnt stay for the food (reading the comments on the food make me think I made an error here), we had a great time! My wife got a better deal on a set of gear than I ever thought possible. Needless to say we will be back next year, and will visit Cave Excursions for gear purchases in the future.

[double humper]

Sorry I couldn't attend. How was the vis in Telford? Thanks, D. H.

I missed yall since I was underwater till a little after 4. Anyway glad you got a good deal.

Well I was on the second group, got in the water around noon. Other teams had been there in the morning.. While we were in the water we saw two teams coming out and two teams going in... so vis was not that good, with 5 teams in there at the same time you could not get more than 5ft... Still a beautiful cave. I hope I will be back.

Kitty was 30 ft at some spots... but we went on Sunday and were the only team there.
