BUBBLER TRIPS
A highly popular and exciting opportunity
for DIVE Cincinnati divers is “Bubbler
Trips” -- an impact-reducing device used
to aid divers in learning new dives. "The
Bubbler" greatly decreases new-dive
learning time by lessening the fear involved
with attempting the new dive. Divers who
attend “Bubbler” Trips will also have
the opportunity to use the over-the-water
spotting rig and wet spotting belt. "Bubbler"
trips take place at the Miami University
Aquatic Center in Oxford, Ohio. A maximum
of 10 divers are permitted to attend a
“Bubbler” trip and the “Bubbler” practice
will last for 1-½ to 2 hours. “Bubbler”
trips are announced via e-mail or on the
DIVE Cincinnati Website and sign-ups for
“Bubbler” trips are on a first call, first
served basis. The fee is $75.00 per diver.
Divers (and their parents) meet at the
Miami University Pool.

PARKING (FEES, CHARGES &
FINES)
-
Parking Passes for Northern Kentucky
University can be purchased from NKU
at the front desk of the building
that houses the pool and they are
good for the entire diving season
(September 2011– May 2012).
The cost is $20.00 for the whole year.
Divers who drive or their parents
should tell the student worker at
the entry kiosk that you need to purchase
a parking pass to use during diving
practice. NOTE: Make sure they mark
the pass valid through the end of
MAY. The NKU Parking Pass is valid
for the gravel parking lot across
from the pool and in marked spots
behind the Albright Health Center
(building that houses the pool). If
you wish to park in the covered garage
across from the NKU Pool, you will
need to pay each time you exit unless
school is not in session in which
case you can park there for free.
NOTE: During basketball games and
other special events, NKU may charge
a "Special Event" Parking
Fee. Divers should plan to arrive
early on these days in order to find
a parking spot on campus near the
pool. This has not been a problem
in the past but the new Bank of Kentucky
Arena plays host to a number of concerts,
games and other special events which
could affect parking or traffic.
-
NKU will issue tickets for illegally
parked cars or to cars that do not
display a valid parking pass. Divers
are responsible for payment of any
parking tickets received while on
campus for any diving practices or
diving meets.
