We're looking at July 23 and 24 for next year's
Freedive-a-palooza at Lake Wazze in Wisconsin.
Expect lots of fins, spearguns, scooters, wetsuits and other "toys" to try if you can make. There are pelnty of places to camp, as well as a varitey of hotels to use if that's your idea of "roughing it".
In addittion to the recreational side of the event, the USAA is also thinking of sanctioning a regional competition there next year as well. I am interested in how many people would be interested in coming to Wisconsin for a regional competition.
I know that it's not Cyprus, but it is centerally located in the US and there are three major airports withing driving distance to the lake. This could be more of a middle-country compromise for people who can't afford to travel for multiple comp's.
If you are interested, what events would you like to see and what kind of max depths are you anticipating- the deeper we go the more lead time I need to strong-arm enough of my tech diving buddies to work safety for the event.
Expect fresh water with 75 degree surface temps and 40 degree bottom temps. Vis will be around 10' in the middle of the thermocline and over 50' below the thermocline.
If your interested in just keeping a "fun" gathering and don't want to see any competions enter into it, please let me know that as well.
Thanks,
Jon
