Extra Info for everyone new to this dive:
This a shallow drift dive, not more than 25' max.
When you get to KP Hole, the park gates don't open until 8a. Pull around to the right side of the fence where you'll see a boat ramp. It's okay to pull down to the ramp to unload your gear and to start suiting up if you want. There are people/vehicles moving in and out of the area so just drop off gear and pull around and park if it's busy. No stress or pressure though. This is a fun dive so we have time. But, would be nice to be all geared up and ready to get on the first boat ride upriver. If you are more comfortable keeping your gear and suiting up in the parking area, that's good too.
Don't need any extra gear for this trip. Camera if you have one. Don't really need a flashlight but doesn't hurt if you want to look into one of the holes.
Going to be a fun dive!!! See all of you soon. :)
