Scuba resort design

[curt...@aol.com]

Hello Group,

I am in the process of purchasing an Inland scuba park and need some
input on the best design of restrooms, showers, lockers ect. I am
looking for all type of ideas. If you had the opportunity to design a
scuba park how would you do it? It has a nice clear lake and a modest
dive shop but the restrooms and showers need total rehab.

Also, any ideas to attract customers and pricing that you feel
comfortable with i.e.. tank refill, dive fee, non-diver fee ect.

Does your non-diving family come with you and if so what accommodations
are you looking for?

I cant say what park it is now, but I will shortly. Its located in the
Center of the USA.

Thanks,

Curtis Corum

Don't know if you use drysuits there, but the biggest complaint I have with most changing rooms is a wet floor.  If I am changing into a drysuit and the socks get wet and then I have wet, cold feet during the dive.  Then when I change back into civies, socks get wet again.  You need one of those rubber mats or something and good drainage that will reduce water on the floor.   The other suggestions would be lots of benches and shelves to put dry clothes while changing.
