Lake City (Global Adventures): Rebreathers, Blue Holes, and the Dominican Republic will be covered during the 2010 NSS-CDS workshop from May 21 to 23. Kevin Gurr will talk about current Rebreather designs and safety features, and he will offer an in-water rebreather clinic. Jill Heinerth will cover the use of rebreathers during extensive exploration dives around the world. The current state of exploring Blue Holes in the Bahamas is the topic of Brian Kakuk’s speech, and Walter Pickel will focus on the exploration of caves in the Dominican Republic.

Other events include a sidemount clinic with Lamar Hires, a repair and maintenance workshop for Haskell Booster pumps (Frank O’Hidy), a dry-caving trip to Bat Cave with Pete Butt, and a survey clinic with Jason Richards and Mike Poucher. Tom Morris will lead divers on an eco-tour of Little Otter Spring.

The workshop will take place at Otter Springs Park & Campground, just south of Lake City, Florida. During the event, the NSS-CDS has arranged for free cave diving at Hart Springs. Registration is available here.
