Its the only dates they had available that take advantage of the holiday and slightly lower week day fares.

Sorry the dates slipped Heidi...we had planned more June-ish but those dates got convoluted so seized the Memorial Day weekend dates.

Travel from Denver is tough anyways. The choices are to overnight in San Juan each way or take a Red Eye to Charlotte or Atlanta, followed by a flight down and using one of the local airlines to get to the island from St. Martin.

But will keep looking..

While Dominica was my "June" trip since it did not work out that way I will try to find another trip for June so our teachers can make it. ;)

I would recommend keeping the 2 boat dives and do afternoon, dusk and or night dives from shore. I was there this past Oct and I must say it was the BEST shore diving I have ever done!! Simple enough entries Giant stride off the end of the dock or walk down the steps (just be careful of the urchins). Everything you want to see is right there from shore! I have placed Dominica( Castle Comfort) in my top three dive spots it maybe #1. I REALLY want to go back. Working on making this trip :pray:

This group usually wants me to set up a 3rd boat dive daily but maybe we can keep the trip price even less by doing the shorediving!

OR we could factor in say 2 days of 3rd boat dives... and leave the rest as shorediving!!!

Let us know what you think...I'll be working on getting this ready for posting right after the new year!
