Third Annual Club Cookout and Treasure Hunt at Lake Rawlings

The 2001 dive club cookout was held on August 18-19 at Lake Rawlings Quarry and was greatly enjoyed by all the attendants.  Pleasant weather (the rain stayed at home)

An event sure to be repeated next year!

The DMAV would

and mild temperatures allowed for two days of very enjoyable activities, as well as multiple cookouts, and a Saturday evening bonfire.

There were many diving activities, such as navigation courses and underwater treasure hunts, to name a few.  For each activity there were prize markers to locate and retrieve.

Darrell and Christine explaining the rules for the underwater navigation competition.

Prizes ranged from tee-shirts and hats to dive bags and dive equipment.   Regardless of the prize, fun was enjoyed by all.

With a seed in the plate the unofficial  judge declares. "And  the winner is…."

also like to extend a special thanks to Ed & Sharon Acton, Ronald Campana, Jeri Jenkins, Christine Ford, Darrell Hubbard, Debbie Bradshaw and all of the members for their effort in helping to make the DMAV 2001 cookout and treasure hunt a wonderful success.
