Now in our 22nd year, Underwater Connection is again sponsoring our Annual Treasure Dive and Picnic, Sunday, September 7th at Lannon Quarry in Menomonee Falls.
For those not familiar with our Treasure Dive, here's how it works:

Early the morning of the event, staff members will go out to the quarry and plant numbered markers underwater. The markers are never more than 25 feet deep, to make them easy to find. Each numbered marker corresponds to a prize, like regulators, BCDs, tanks, cameras, gear bags, etc. At a preannounced time, there is the shotgun start, and all the divers who registered for the event dive for these markers. Each diver is allowed only one marker or prize. If someone finds more than one marker, they are asked to give away the extra markers they have found to someone who did not find any. There is only one Underwater Connection Staff person who knows what numbered marker corresponds to each prize!

After all the markers are accounted for, we'll have our picnic lunch. If there is a Packer game scheduled, we'll bring out TVs so that you can enjoy the game as well. After lunch we award the prizes to those who have found markers.

Now, let's say a certain marker is not found......anyone who is registered for the event, and did NOT find a marker will get a raffle ticket. We'll then raffle off the prize whose marker was not found. You still have a chance of winning a prize, even if you don't find a marker. It's only fair that way. Employees of The Underwater Connection are not eligible to win any prizes.

The registration fee for certified divers is $10.00 and $5.00 for each non-diver to help defray the cost of the food and park rental. In addition, Waukesha County requires a dive permit for Lannon, which you can get at the park. Also, there is a parking fee required per vehicle.

This event gets bigger every year, and it's a great way to get some dives in, as well as meet some fun people at the same time.
