SCUBA SIG DIVES Epcot August 10, 2006

Join members of the SCUBA SIG for Epcot DiveQuest during the World Gathering in Orlando!

BEWARE that this is not a group trip organized by the World Gathering or the SCUBA SIG. We are just attempting to coordinate the dive time so some of us can dive together.

YOU must book your dive with Epcot and pay Epcot directly.

First preference is for the 4:30 PM dive on Thursday August 10. If that's full book the 5:30 PM dive the same day.

Further coordination can be done on the scubasig-talk list:

There is no coordinator for this dive - we'll just be self-herding cats!

DON'T FORGET YOUR C-CARD!!!

Here are some unverified reviews found on the Internet:
