Scuba Club North - Pittsburgh

04/02/2021

Dutch Springs is a 50 acre lake near Bethlehem PA, offering a variety of underwater attractions, up to 100' depths, and the promise of decent vis (at least until the water park opens on Memorial Day). They have a compressor station for air and nitrox (32% fills). Solo diving is permitted if a locator device is worn. These can be rented on site. Diving season commences on April 17th. Camping is available starting in May at $15/night, including access to two bathhouses with warm showers. No campfires are permitted. The cost for diving is $54/day. Camping/diving combo rate is $60/day. I have not researched local hotel/motel accommodations, nor have I investigated the proximity of local haute cuisine.

In case you do not check your email often, we are moving our Yahoo Group (because Yahoo is abandoning Yahoo Groups) to Groups.io. Everyone on our Yahoo Group email distribution list received an invitation to join us on Groups.io. Alternately, you can go directly to Groups.io, search for Scuba-Club-North-Pittsburgh, and follow the links to join.

Groups.io has more features than Yahoo, such as subgroups for special interest discussions, calendaring, polls, and more. And they do not track your activity nor share that data with anyone.
