    Default Has access changed at Emerald Sink?

    It was alluded to in the post about the third quarter NACD journal coming out.

    Has ClearCut Sink been opened up? If so, what hoops must be jumped?

    Beuller? Beuller? Beuller?



    It'd be nice if I didn't have to swim 2000' upstream to enjoy ClearCut Sink...

    Yes, there are now a bunch of new requirements to include:

    All men to be at least 5'11" tall, with a body mass index of no more than 18.

    All women must be at least 5'6" tall with blue or green eyes and a waist no more than 30 inches. Other eye colors may be acceptable depending on cup size, a new chart is in the works (to be known as the Alba chart).

    Left handed divers must perform a manual dexterity stress test. Obvious morons will have to solve a 4 row Rubiks cube in under 12 minutes.

    All divers to sign a new release of liability form that, among other things, prohibits the practice of any Rastafarian or Santerian ceremonies or the sacrifice of any fur or feather bearing animal.

    All pickup trucks used must have a towing capacity of at least 5000 pounds. The use of sub compact cars is prohibited. (If you have a yugo, then you go)

    Bestiality is no longer acceptable due to the decimation of the local squirrel and raccoon population.

    Meals will no longer be served.

    Cats must be restrained on leashes.

    No performances of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance are allowed on State property, and in a just world, the rest of the planet. The hokey-pokey is still acceptable.

    I am not sure if the rest of the requirements have changed.

    I will never be able to dive there again!

    I am not sure that it has, the last stink happened when they were charging $16 non-rfundable dollars in cold cash (whether you dove or not, they did not care if conditions were crappy, nor did they know whether that was the case to advise you) even if you already held a state park pass...

    That fiasco was cleared and it was back to business as usual. You do have to make reservations yadda, yadda, yadda, be on the list etc...

    Not sure if the fax number has changed, easily checked in either case. Here is the form I have, it may be already superceded but they took it last I went.

    Dive safe,
