lake diving permits

[jleech]

I remember the old threads about this (and went and read them).  This ordnance has been on the books, but unenforced by the park board for a couple of years.  My guess is someone new went through the statutes, saw they hadn't updated the fees on scuba diving in a while, so upped the number, and made a reference to it on the web site.  The application reads like it's for a group outing, not indivduals.  I think it's $35 per group, not individual.  It still doesn't make sense unless they really just want to stop people diving in the city lakes.

Fortunately I have no desire to dive in the Mpls lakes.


As for other fees or closed lakes, the DNR web site has a listing of restrictions relating to all MN lakes  and rivers: Bloomington is listed as needing a permit to scuba dive.
