May 25–28, 2007 – NSS-CDS Annual Workshop – Live Oak, Florida USA

The rustic splendor of Camp Weed will serve as the backdrop for the 2007 Annual Cave Diving Section Workshop. The theme for the 2007 event is Cave Diving around the World, and will highlight the global growth of the sport of cave diving. Located off U.S. Hwy 90 between Live Oak and Lake City, Camp Weed is in the heart of "Cave Country". A short drive in any direction will lead divers to many well-known cave diving destinations. The event will get under way on Friday night with a social hosted at the Dive Outpost in Luraville. Saturday will feature presentations, special interest sessions, and displays of the latest in dive equipment presented by a number of top manufacturers. Sunday will provide members with additional special interest mini-workshops in addition to guided dives at some of the area's most pristine locations. Guided dives will also be available on Monday. Camp Weed offers a variety of lodging options to suit most needs and budgets. From hotel rooms, to private cabins, to primitive camping, this location offers it all. All reservations for lodging should be made directly with the Camp Weed Staff (386) 364-5250. For more information, contact the Workshop Chairman: Dr. DeWayne Hyatt BamaCaveDiver@fuse.net or Forrest Wilson vicechairman@nsscds.org, or sumpdiver@cavediver.net

YA lets all go and watch a bunch of kids from texas A/M who don't really dive win all the door prizes.And sit at some sweat box camp and listern to storys that should be told around a camp fire not on a stage about how great so and so thinks he or she is,and deal with all the great people at the local dive sites man I'm so going to be there in the front row with one of those fantasticly designed t-shirts that they have hope to see all there and can't wait for the great show.

In the emortile words of Eric Cartmen
