The talks are on Saturday. We hope to have a schedule in the next couple of days.

There is no online registration, just pay at the door.

Once again, I will be in MX.

For those that haven't dove Hart I would highly recommend it!

We're definitely planning on coming. I'm assuming the schedule posted is for Saturday the 14th..are there events on the other days?

This looks like it will be a great Workshop this year. Now it a good time to start planning at attend :-)

Is Hart a reasonable dive for an intro level beginner? What is the flow like?

Thanks.

Probably not good for intro. The flow can be really strong, but it is too early right now to predict what it will be like in January.

Now that the holidays are over, don't forget to plan to attend the Hart Springs workshop.

We may have some Saturday, but most will be on Sunday. There will be a sign-up sheet at registration. If any guides are left, we may have some Monday, but not sure about that.

How many dive teams do you'all figure the system can handle on sunday? Guess there is a good reason to show up bright and early to sign up!

I just wanted to update everyone on some things. Saturday morning registration is from 8 am to 9 am. During this time we will have donuts, muffins, coffee, and tea. We will also be giving away raffle tickets that will be used later for drawing the winners of door prizes. Door prizes have been donated by all the local businesses and dive shops, and will be some really great prizes. Saturday afternoon we will have chilli, hot dogs, hamburgers, and drinks. This will all be included. However, if anyone that is coming would like to bring something we can make this even more fun. Some things that people can consider bringing would include:

12 pack of soda
Chips
Doritos
Dessert Items
Things of this sort.

If you are going to be able to bring something please post here and let us know!
We greatly appreciate every ones support! We know this will be a great event and a lot of fun.

JerseyJersey has stepped up and offered to bring coffee and cookies!

Me and a sufficient supply of coffee was a no brainer but who exactly is coming? Need to know how many cookies.......

Yea, I'll be there.

Dave

And that's why I love you (well, that and because you're awesome and you loan me torches when Dumb Shirley is in charge of packing)

I'm planning on being there and looking forward to it.

The schedule is now in the first post.

Anyone going from the Atlanta/Decatur, GA area? I need some stuff taken down to the Workshop.

I'm out in Atlanta (Norcross) area this week for work and driving down for the workshop fri morning
Our car is pretty packed but if it isn't large we could help out

PM sent.

I've been looking forward to this and hope it's ok to register at noon, as that's the earliest I can get there...

Noon should be fine...

I attended my first Hart Springs workshop yesterday. Between speakers, socializing, and diving, I had a blast. Thanks to Marissa, Leslie, Cheryl, Forrest, the NSSCDS, and probably others for their work in organizing and hosting this event. And thank you to the speakers for taking time from your schedules to share your knowledge and experiences with us.

I'm really glad to see this event back and that it went well out there this weekend. I wish I could have made it, but the ended up having to moving furniture, boxes, ect; being at Hart would have been way better.

Yes, thanks again to all the volunteers and speakers that put this together!

Dave

Thank you to everyone that came out and made the Hart Springs workshop possible!! A special thanks to Rick Robinson for putting it together! Thanks to Cheryl for the cookies and all her help and to Forrest for his help, also! Also, a special thanks to Robert McClellan for allowing us to borrow his projector screen! We were able to donate over $300 to Hart Springs because of the generous donation from Dive Rite of a nomad! Cave Country Dive Shop in High Springs also donated a Regulator that was raffled off with the Nomad. The nomad was won by David Jones and the regulator by Henry Gomez. Thank you to Cave Excursions, Dive Outpost, Amigos, Extreme Exposure, Cave Country Dive Shop, MichaelAngelo Gagliardi, and everyone else who donated items to the workshop!

Let's not forget all that Marissa did as well!! She took on the hard, boring jobs, like registration.
