After the weigh-in the divers, their friends and families gathered on the deck at Just Jackie’s for the awards, drawing for door prizes and a pizza buffet. Prizes included gift certificates to Just Jackie’s, Cactus Ridge Resort, Pontiac Lodge, Roo B Doo Resort, Lost Cove Resort and a spear gun, donated by the marina.
