We will have a quick brief with divers to go over safety and event rules, then it’s time to GO DIVING!
Divers will have an opportunity to go searching for eggs from 9:00am – 11:00am.
Be sure to turn your eggs in for your candy or prizes at the front counter before 11:30!

Remember to bring your collecting bags or Easter baskets to collect your eggs!
This is a cold water dive. Divers are required to wear appropriate thermal protection. Minimum 7mm, hoods, and gloves.

Remember that it will be April in Indiana. Dress for the weather!
If necessary, we will provide supplemental surface heat like other cold water events.
