LMA Not allowing boats to Launch if at Prior Lake clean up!

        Overall, this is has always been a fun event.  A big part of the problem now, is that fewer and fewer of the organizers dive.  They are boaters and homeowners looking out for those interests.  The rules are certainly starting to reflect that.  If you have ever dove at MOA, they ask what the last body of water you dove in was, fresh or salt, depending on your answer- they may have you dip your gear.  If that is good enough for an environment that has a fragile and expensive price tag, there should be a gear dip that will satisfy the four hour time slot that they are able to police.  Every year after the dive, they ask for constructive criticism on the event.  Rather than tear it apart, I would suggest that the diving community be involved it the planning.  It's a free boat dive, 2 free meals, dive booty and prize booty.  Give them  a chance this year, when they ask- try to steer them in the right direction, and if they don't listen, it's on them- not you
