Documentation, Monitoring and Photo / Video Practice on the S.P. Ely in Two Harbors MN
Join us for a fun weekend, or dive for only one day. Cost is about $25 for food and to
help with fuel,  you can pay at the event.
You must register on line or contact Bob Nelson, bnglsps.org or 612-916-8183 to attend.
The primary objective for this project is to get members out on the R/V Preservation to see how we do things on our many dive projects throughout the summer. 

All participants will have a chance to learn Monitoring procedures, practice underwater documentation skills and searching .  We can also review other procedures we use in stabilizing underwater shipwrecks.  We also review first aid procedures, boat and dive briefings, properly using check lists and following the protocol (S.O.P.) the GLSPS has established and perform the proper techniques to help preserve underwater shipwrecks.
 
One of the other objective of the GLSPS is to have new members get involved on projects (or old members that have never joined us on a project) and feel welcome to register for future projects.  We don't want members to confuse us as a good old boys club.  We encourage people to join us and participate in the projects.  As always you need to be a member to participate, supply your own gear, know how to use it, and be qualified for this level of SCUBA diving. Max depth in this area is about 40 feet.

We will meet at Two Harbors boat launch by the Two Harbors light house at 11:00 AM Saturday Morning and meet at 9:00 AM Sunday, and plan to finish up about 3:00 PM that afternoon. Participants are welcome to ride on the boat as we bring it from Silver Bay Marina to Two Harbors Saturday morning leaving at 8:00 AM and returning to Silver Bay Sunday afternoon about 4:30 PM. Please let Bob Nelson know your preference.

 

A good time and learning experience will be had by all.  So please register for this great project by clicking on the "Register Now" button above.

 

Hope to see both new and old faces.
