the Bonne Terre Mine Treasure Hunt
 

The event itself was extremely well-organized. There were well over 100 divers, several representatives of gear manufacturers, dive operators, and resorts, etc. It was like a big scuba diving trade show with caterers and live music to boot.... We'll definitely be returning to Bonne Terre for next year's Treasure Hunt!

I would like to thank the staff at Bonne Terre Mine for once again for putting together such a well run event. The dives were completed ahead of schedule, the auction went off without a hitch, and the BBQ was great. Thank you for the great memories.

With a short swim to the treasure-filled area you are on your way to quite possibly the most exhilarating dive of your life! Make your way to the bottom into the shadowy depths to earn enough treasure dollars to buy the trip of a lifetime.... or some super cooool gear. The food was delicious! The music was great!
Topside the wife and I enjoyed a game of tossing washers, reading scuba magazines, and visiting the vendors who had donated prized to the events. These people were a wealth of knowledge regarding the products they represented.
...even if I had won nothing, the event would have been well worth it and a lot of fun. I am looking forward to next year.
Having the opportunity to dive the mine, the great fellowship with other divers and the excellent Bar-B-Q afterwards is a reason enough to participate in the event.
There is plenty of free time to visit the vendors. Be sure to visit all of the booths, those people were very nice, informative and definitely not hard sell types.
All of the people were exceptional from the parking staff, mine leaders up and down, weight and tank people, people counting the chips, dive leaders in the water with us, briefing, mega phone guy, owner and his lovely wife, and even our talented auctioneer.
I can truly say that the Bonne Terre Mines has a top notch crew and a dive atmosphere not to be found anywhere else in the world. Doug and every single one of his crew are friendly and professional. These guys know how to have a good time and keep everyone safe.
...incredibly impressed with how well organized and run things where. That's incredibly difficult to pull off in events like this, and I have to applaud the Bonne Terre staff on how impressivly well manned, organized, and dedicated they had to be to pull this off. It was the smoothest event I've ever attended.
I look forward to next years event. My son and I will be there and I would recommend it to anyone that can attend.
