Annual Lower Current River Dive/Float Trip
Sept. 11 & 12, 2010
>>Download the Flier<<
Join Y-kiki Divers for a relaxing weekend dive excursion to the beautiful Ozark Mountains diving and floating the lower Current River. It’s a great weekend for all levels (including the nondiver!) and, since it’s close to home, you won’t have to spend a fortune.
We will canoe float/dive a 6-mile stretch both Saturday and Sunday (optional) drifting from the boat ramps at Deer Leap to Doniphan stopping along the way for diving, lunch and relaxation. The water is shallow and your bottom time is excellent. You’ll see lots of local fish life and maybe gather some loot left behind from summer tubers and floaters.
There is no shop charge other than rental gear if you need it. There are no air fills available locally so be sure to bring extra tanks.
You will need to make your own arrangements for canoe rental, hotel or campsite. See below.
Please contact Bruce at 314-469-8722 or bruce@inlink.com to confirm your participation on the trip or for more information.
