The 2009 Cave Divers Social is on this weekend, Sat 4th July from 11-5 in Luraville, North Florida.

As usual Dayo Scuba are sponsoring the event, their will be a cookout and sodas all day, and there will be prizes and giveaways from other sponsors including:

Cave Excursions
The Dive Outpost
Luraville Store
TDI
NACD
NSS CDS
Dive-Rite

We have a new venue this year, in the lot across from the Luraville Store. This is within an equal distance of the two fills stations, Bills and Cathys, and also two miles from Peacock, Telford and Cow Springs.

Hope to see you all there,

TJ, Denise and Peter

We are just back from the 2009 Cave Divers Forum Social, and a great time was had by all. We had a turnout of about 50 people, not bad for the 95 degree heat day!



A great cook with hot dogs and burgers out was provided by Bob and Kim, the world famous chilis by Jay, and Larry and Debra brought a nice dessert of watermelon.





There was a great selection of door prizes, from our ever generous sponsors, and lots of people won things.

The NACD and TDI set up an information booth:





We finished off the day by checking out the very spectacular firework show over at Ginnie....quite a display:



Lots of people dived in down in Peacock and Little River that day...Im sure trip reports will be coming soon

And not to worry for those of you who couldn't make it, there is talk of a second 2009 Cave Divers Forum Social, or "mini-social". Due of the venue, we were unable to have the Scooter Race, so this is being planned for sometime over the next few months. We will probably have the Social #2/mini social at Ginnie sometime around New Year's. Many cave divers participate in the Galaxy Dive on December 31 (ringing in the new year under the water) in the Ginnie Ballroom, so having a get-together over that time will be convenient for people. Ginnie Springs was also the venue of the 2008 Cave Divers Forum Social and very successful Scooter Race.

More details over the next few months!

We would like to thank everyone who brought food, drinks, snacks and ice on Saturday. And to Bill and Linda from Rennakers who got the lot ready for Saturday, it looked great!

Also a big thank you to our sponsors who donated all the door prizes.

And another big thank you (and good luck) to the new owners of the Luraville Store, who kindly gave us the use of their lot for the day, and rigged up the electricity, and more importantly the fans the day before! We wish them all the best with their new venture, and will be by to check out the new lunch menu soon!

Rest of the photos from Saturday!
