Ok, could someone post or show me where there is a schedule of events for the NSS-CDS workshop coming up, I can’t find anything that shows all of what's going on.


Thanks,
Eric

This was posted by DeWayne to the other forum in response to a similar query I made last month:

Curt Bowen is sponsoring a rebreather review and experience course; it will be at Ginnie and requires pre-registration through his site. Michael Angelo is doing a mini-workshop on basic sketching of uw caves. Mike Poucher will be doing a survey workshop. Steve Gamble will be offering a basic dry suit field repair and maintenace workshop. Jason Richards will be doing a side mount workshop. The FSS will be hosting our vertical workshop this year. Still working on a few more.


HTH,
Dave

Since we are only about a week away....

A schedule from Friday to Sunday would be nice... you know, things like "such and such event and such and such time"

I paid, but I am not to sure of anything that I am doing other then the IUCRR class on Sunday.

Kind of goes back to: do I want to hang out with a bunch of cave divers in a school or go cave diving.. If there is some cool stuff going on at the workshop I might go, if not..... there's a lot of caves out there.

Joe- I'm going to give Jeff the video camera tonight so he can shoot us putting the I beam in! Should of had it while we pulled it out...haha
