It Felt So Good to Get Wet!

A few weeks ago, we had about twenty divers join us down at Mammoth Lake for a fun day of diving and exploring. And the main feeling from everyone was…”It felt so good to get wet!”

With the onset of the COVID-19 local diving opportunity generator, many of our divers have been looking for someplace to just go diving since all of their summer vacations plans changed. We have been trying to help people keep diving and having fun.

We are continuing with our regular visits to the Beautiful Blue Lagoon, the second weekend of every month, but we have been trying to schedule some other diving activities.

Upcoming Diving Events

In August you will find us up at Lake Travis (August 21-23) at Windy Point. If you have not been to Lake Travis, there are trees, boats, cars and fish to look for underwater as well as depths down to 140 ffw. There is a fill station on site so you only have to bring one or two cylinders. Some of the families have decided to rent houses on the lake so that everyone can come up and enjoy a change of scenery. If you would like to learn more about the weekend, send Dive Mom a note.

On September 13 we are having a Family Fun Day up at Beautiful Blue Lagoon. This is a great day for divers and non-divers alike. Dive Mom will e on hand to lead snorkeling tours and activities for the younger kids while divers will have some challenging compass courses to try and navigate.

In September, we return to Mammoth Lake (September 19) for another fun weekend of exploring boats and planes as well as a hunt for King Kong and the Woolly Mammoth!

Dive Mom is also looking into putting together a trip to Bonne Terre Min in Missouri and the Valhalla Missile Silo. If you are interested, send her an email to put you on the list for information when it becomes available.
