Subject: Venture Crew 507 - Scuba outing 5/24-25 Date: Thursday, May 15, 2008 9:16 PM Hello Scouters, I spoke with Gary regarding our trip on the 24th. . Bring your AOW materials . Bring your Open Water Certification Card First we need gear. Aqua Paradise will rent us gear for the entire weekend for $65 per person. HOWEVER, you must get 'fitted' prior to our outing. He will not have additional gear with him. OR you can rent from the quarry. Haigh is about the same but may discount a scout. Second, we need to be at the quarry by noon. This is actually good news for those of us who like to sleep in. I was thinking if we met around 9:00am at the Steeple Run Clubhouse, we could depart about 9:30am and have a leisurely trip. Third, we have a cabin (Camp Shaw) reserved so we are not sleeping outdoors and I believe we also have plumbing. So you still need to pack your sleeping bag and a pad (just in case). I have another trailer reserved, so space is not an issue. Forth, we did not have enough participation at the last crew meeting to assign a Grub Master. I'll take care of getting dinner for Saturday night and a simple breakfast on Sunday. If you have any food allergies, please let me know. We will stop on the way home to eat like we did last time. This may be our last outing together. Here is my break down of the costs as I see them: --- Equipment Rental - $65.00 - Paid to Aqua Paradise Tank fills - $30.00 - Three fills at $10 each Quarry access fee - $40.00 - $20 per day Cabin Fee - $20.00 Food - $15.00 - Dinner/Breakfast Best Guess total = $ 170.00 Plus your own dining/mad $$ I will provide more exact updates as I collect them. A courtesy of a reply would be appreciated. http://www.scuba507.org http://www.haighquarry.com/ http://www.campshaw.org/index.html http://www.aquaparadise.com/ Michael K Klecka Crew Advisor 507
