Twin Lakes Camping & Scuba Weekend

WHO: Underwater Outlaws Scuba Social Club Members and their Guests, Wing Divers Scuba Social Club and their guests
New members welcome – (New friends and Dive Buddies provided)

Pot Luck Dinner Saturday evening at 7:00 pm
Diving Saturday and Sunday
(A map to the chicken will be provided.)
CAMPING: Lions Pioneer Park Campground in the Community of Winfield. We are in the unreserved group area. Look for the dive flag. The group site does not have power water or sewer. The campground does have showers. Most campers arrive after 5:00 pm on Friday.
DIVE PARK: Twin Lakes is about 3 Kms East of Winfield, south of # 13 highway. Look for the Green Atco trailer. The water is cold below 20 feet. Max depth is 110 feet, but most of the things to see are above 45 feet. A map of the dive park will be provided. Lots to see.
POTLUCK DINNER: Saturday evening at 7:00 pm at the group campsite in Lions Pioneer Park Campground in Winfield. Our potluck dinner is a wonderful gathering of hungry divers and guests, with tons of amazing food. This is the part of the weekend where the group really comes together to laugh, relax, tease, re-hash the day, plan more diving, swap tall tales, meet new dive buddies and build great friendships. Bring your favorite campfire food and stories to share. Some folks bring deserts, some bring a meat dish, some bring salads, and some bring veggies or carbs. We never know what’s for supper, but it’s always good, and there’s always lots to eat.
We try to eat as close to 7:00 as possible. Allow extra cooking time as BBQs and campfires take longer than the stove at home.
COST: Each camper pays their own camping fees and brings a dish for the Potluck.
REQUEST: Help us promote this event by forwarding this info to your dive buddies and bringing a friend. Also, please RSVP on the Facebook event web page so others see how popular this trip is, and we can estimate how many people to expect.
