NSS-CDS Workshop Returns to the Lake City Area

May 21-23, 2010 The 2010 NSS-CDS Workshop will be at Otter Springs, In Gilchrist County, south of Lake City.

This year, the Workshop will not take place on Memorial Day weekend, to help our members avoid conflicts with family obligations over the holiday, and let them take advantage of reduced hotel rates and less-crowded dive sites.
