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):
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

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!

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"...

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.
