I am finally going to make it to beautiful cave country for new years eve this year, and was hoping there would be something going on at Peacock again this year. I read about the one at Ginnie, which I will use as a backup plan, but I am staying in Luraville, and already have my state park pass.
Nothing that I know of. It takes the state several months to arrange a night dive, and as far as I know, there are no requests pending.Quote:

Thats a shame. Thanks for the quick response. Guess I will be Ginnie bound that night.Quote:

We have not heard yet, if it has been approved. At our last NFSA CSO
meeting in October 2008, ISSP Manager, Sherry was to look into it.
This translates to "maybe" there will be a night dive at Peacock :-)Quote:

We have approval to have the Night Dive at Peacock Springs State Park
New Years Eve, per Manager, Sherry McGowen at ISSP.
The hours will be 10pm to 1am on New Years Eve, Wednesday,
December 31, 2008.
No Cavern certified divers allow since there will not be daylight.
Look forward to it :clapper:clapper:clapper
That is awesome to hear. Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!Quote:

My girlfriend would love to do something underwater for New Year's Eve. We were hoping to do a night in Jule's Undersea Lodge, but they are closed. Is this an open invitation party at the Ballroom? If so, what should people interested in attending bring?
Or, is everyone now going to Peacock?
There are two dives New Years eve. This one is at Peacock, but open to any cavediver.Quote:

Come on down, or up, as the case may be.
Absolutely not. Although I wish them success in their outing, there's no way I would choose Peacock over Ginnie for a midnight dive.Quote:

6. Hot showers fifty feet away.
7. Did I mention electricity?
I'm sure both places will have their own appeal, but for me, Peacock works out better, because its minutes from where I am staying, and I already have my park pass.Quote:

However whether you are spending your New Years diving or somewhere else, I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe New Years.
Just received notice from Ginnie that we will have the pavilion by the run for the day social and bonefire, and the pavilion by the ballroom for the midnight "Galaxy" dive. Also, anyone who signs in on New Years's eve to dive will be able to dive for free on New Year's day.
There are things to do New Years Eve other than cave diving? Why? :)Quote:

Not sure if we will make it this year - but last year was great!
I have to be at Ginnie New Years eve, but I will be around Luraville before and after. Maybe we can dive together.Quote:

We had a great beginning to 2009. We had just entered the cross-over tunnel from Peanut when the clock ticked midnight.
Thanks for the midnight dive at peacock.. it was a lot of fun and all the cavern divers i was with who have never done it really enjoyed it..
A cavern dive at midnight you say?
