The Hawkeye Scuba Club has been around Cedar Rapids for 50 years and continues on today as a great way for divers to hang out with other divers and talk about...ah..well...DIVING!

Also to do some diving! 

The club is pretty informal, focused on recreational diving and is lead by Steve and Jan Thompson.  Steve is a YMCA Scuba Instructor (ret) and Jan is his #1 dive buddy! 

The club meets the second Thursday night of each month for some kind of activity.  Maybe a few drinks at a local restaurant, or the annual banquet/photo contest in January.   From May - August the club tries to dive in the local area and also tries to plan some bigger trips depending on club member interest.

Club dues are $20 per year for a Adult Diver or Junior Diver (under 18 years old) and $5 per year non-diver. (Associate Member)

If your a diver in the Cedar Rapids/IC Area and want to hang out with other divers and maybe get some dives in during the summer with a group.  You need to check out the Hawkeye Scuba Club and join up with us.

Club News - Devils Lake Trip - July , 2010

Just a reminder--we will be diving at "Devils Lake State Park" near Baraboo, Wisconsin on Saturday, July 31st.  This dive is the replacement for the Florida Keys dive. It is about a 3 1/2 hour drive from Cedar Rapids to the park. We will be meeting at about 10:00 am in the "overflow parking lot" on the north end of the lake for our first dive.  We will try to get in two dives if possible.  The second site will be decided after the first dive.  Be sure to bring all the air you will need.  The local shop has closed and there is no "air" in the area.  This is usually a good dive for fresh water fish pictures.
 
Some of the divers may be staying over and diving again on Sunday.  There are several campgrounds, and motels in the area.  However, I do not recommend staying at the Skillet Creek Campground.  Several divers have reported bad experiences there.
 
The GPS co-ordinates for the first dive site are   N 43 25.501'  W 89 43.605'
 
Please let us know if you are planning to attend this dive so we know who to expect.  If you need directions or get lost trying to find the site just call 319-389-0871 and we will try and help you.

Steve and Jan
