To find out what's new as of Monday, June 22, 2009 keep reading or click on the dive flags below:


IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!

What: Annual Stingray Cookout & Dive Celebration

When: Saturday - July 18th, 2009

Time: 9:30 AM - 3:00 PM

Where: Blue Stone Dive Resort, Thomasville NC.  This is only about a 25 minute drive from Greensboro, so travel time isn't an excuse not to go!

After you RSVP you will receive detailed directions to the facility.

Who: EVERYBODY!!! 

Here's the real deal: members and non-members are welcome!

Please RSVP at the bottom of this page by Monday, July 13th.

 

Looky Here!  Read This Stuff!

The quarry doesn't admit anyone under 12 years old.  This includes YOUR rugrat.

Everyone under 18 (and yes, you may have to prove your age) must be accompanied by an adult.

Cost (these are quarry fees, not club fees):

  • Divers and Discover Scuba participants - $20.00 each.

  •  

  • Non Divers -  $5.00 each.

All quarry fees are payable to Bluestone Quarry when you arrive.

Cash and credit cards are accepted by Bluestone.  "I forgot my wallet" is not.  Wrist bands are used to distinguish divers versus non-divers and paid versus non-paid.

Provided: FREE Discover Scuba, hamburgers, hot dogs, side items and non-alcoholic beverages.  Club members (that have paid for their membership!) are also eligible for the prize drawing and scooter use!  We'll have several scooters available to try courtesy of Van (aka Scoober Buddha).

Discover Scuba: Please tell the admissions desk you are with Stingray Divers Club and try diving for FREE with your paid quarry entry!  This is a mini-dive excursion where you can try diving with a professional PADI instructor. You'll have the opportunity to Scuba dive in 3-9 feet of water and see some fish!  All gear and tanks are provided.

The minimum age limit for Discover Scuba is 14 years old.  Parents don't have to try diving (even though you should), but they do have to be present.  Everyone must fill out the liability waiver and medical forms before diving.

Certified... but a bit rusty due to inactivity in the water?  You can get a PADI instructor all to yourself for a one-on-one "refresher" lesson to make sure you remember why we swim away from brown bubbles emanating from the seat of another divers wetsuit.  Cost for this opportunity is a mere $30.00 (cash only) and is payable directly to the instructor.  Sign up on the RSVP form.

Anyone willing to flip burgers and dogs please contact Van...we need someone to operate the grill.  Gas passers should be aware that open flame is involved.

If you have any questions please send us an email using the links on this website.

To RSVP, click the fish!

Club Meetings

Our normal club meetings will now be held at Logan's Road House, 1300 Bridford Parkway at Wendover Avenue in Greensboro. As usual, we'll have a room reserved (exact room may vary) exclusively for your dining pleasure, so just tell 'em you're with the club!

We will continue to meet at Logan's until further notice!  Days and dates may change as the situation dictates, so for future meeting dates clicketh here!

For more detailed directions to Logan's you can phone (336) 292-4950 or check out the map link below (scroll down on the map page):

Boss... de map, de map!

Those wishing to dine should arrive around 6:30 PM for the social and food while those wishing only to attend the program portion of the meeting should arrive by 7:15 PM.  Dining is optional at all our meetings.

Logan's serves a variety of cuisine, and although no one in our club drinks (wanna buy some swamp land in Arizona?) you may procure spirits at your discretion.


Enjoy Diving?  Want to continue?

If you're a diver you surely care about the ocean!  Our planet is being systematically destroyed each and every day, and the oceans that give our planet life are being polluted and over fished due to ignorance on the part of government and the apathy of those of us who sit idly by with our thumb up our butt!  Log on to http://www.oceanlegacy.org and play the "Ocean Survivor" game to learn how poor fishing practices threaten the beauty and bounty of our oceans.

The generation of today has, for the most part, completely failed our planet!  Our hope rests with the youthful exuberance of those who will follow in our footsteps, and it is our responsibility to instill in our young people a sense of awareness by educating them to the realities of the world we live in.

Do your part.  Log on and see how you can contribute!

In the interest of attracting new members to our club and generating interest in the great sport of diving, we've expanded our presence into another venue.

The new T-shirt design has been completed.  Check it out at the club meeting or see a committee member to order now.  I don't know who the committee members are either, so you'll just have to ask!


Lest We Forget (no, this isn't getting old)

As we go about our daily lives and sleep without fear each night, let us not forget those men and women in our armed forces who risk it all every day to protect our freedom and security... many who are far from home and family.

Tell a soldier and their family "Thanks"...


HUMOR FOR THE DAY (MAYBE NOT) HERE!

Don't Hold Your Breath!

The webmaster of this site is well aware of the long standing rules in the IT industry that say you should minimize "white space" and "scroll down" on all web pages.  Doing so makes for a professional presentation and creates a more "user friendly" environment that facilitates ease of navigation while tastefully illustrating text and images in a format that is easy on the eyes.

Be advised that the webmaster of this site isn't too concerned with the aforementioned rules!

Meeting Location

Logan's Road House, 1300 Bridford Parkway at Wendover Avenue, Greensboro.

Phone: (336) 292-4950.  We reserve a "special" room each month exclusively for your dining pleasure!

Club Overview

Stingray Divers Club is a social club comprised of individuals that share a common interest in SCUBA Diving.  Everyone interested in diving, regardless of skill level or qualifications, is welcome to join us at one of our activities to learn more about our club and to fellowship with a unique group of divers.


What We Do

We're here to have fun, enjoy diving, make friends, and did we mention... have fun!  No matter what type of diving you like (as long as you like to get wet), someone in our club probably shares the same interest.  We have cave divers, cavern divers, open water divers, reef divers, wreck divers, boat divers, 80/80 divers (if you're one of these you know what it means), underwater photographers, and many more.  There are several PADI instructors amongst us who are ready and willing to help you get certified, advance to the next level, provide specialty training, or just answer a question or two that you've always wanted to ask but didn't have an available resource.  So, whatever your interest, check us out and meet some of our group.  Hopefully you'll enjoy it and want to become a regular member.  If you can't wait until the next meeting to join, click here or on the button above to go to a membership application.  Fill out the application, sign and date it, and mail with your check to the address below.  All checks should be made out to Stingray Divers Club.  If printing an online application doesn't work well for you , you may email us at info@stingraydiversclub.com and we'll send you an application via US mail.  Make sure to include a current address and phone number in your email when using this option.
