See below for description and location of these sites plus others.
Demo
gear...
All
demo gear is arranged directly with Midwest Scuba prior to the event. The gear will be yours
to use for the weekend. There are limited quantities
of some of the bigger items - i.e. computers, BCDs, etc. - so
make your arrangements early.
Giveaways... (NEW in 2008)
This
year, Midwest Scuba will be giving away a free air fill card at each
event. Everyone that attends will be eligible for the drawing. Also, at
the November social, Midwest Scuba will have a giveaway for a scuba
tank; for each event that you attend during the year, you will get your
name entered into the drawing. For example: If you come to all 8
events, your name will be in the hat 8 times for the drawing. Note:
Staff and employees are not eligible for either item.
Releases...
If
you are planning on attending any of the Explore Midwest Diving
weekends, the only formalities you must complete are two simple forms.
These forms can be printed off our web site by the following links
below, or you can stop by Midwest Scuba and our friendly staff will
assist you with getting the required paperwork completed. These
releases will cover you for all Explore Midwest Diving events for 2008.
Participants will still need to fill out the individual releases for
the dive sites when they pay their entrance fees.

Yahoo Groups ...

Midwest Divers has a group page on Yahoo groups. This group allows you
to see who is going on the Saturday dives and send messages out to
others. Using this free service will connect participants so that they
may schedule carpools, share rooms or any other detail before each
weekend. We also have photos from prior trips posted in Yahoo Groups.
Everyone in the group will get an e-mail just before the event of the
current conditions, any last minute changes and current water
temperatures.
