WHAT YOU'LL SEE:

Mayaguana is so off the beaten track the waters are virtually untapped for diving and deep sea fishing. The island is close to deep waters, and has many offshore reefs, making it a great combination for people that want isolation, yet want something to do. And, like Inagua, it has its share of West Indian flamingos, and other wildlife, for naturalists."

Located between the Bahamian islands and the Caicos, Mayaguana has 110 square miles of land. Today little more than 600 people live in the "capital" of Abraham's Bay located on the south coast, and the two smaller settlements of Betsy Bay and Pirate's Well. This combination guarantees long panoramas of scrub land with hardy, salt-resistant plants that thrive despite high temperatures in the spring, summer, and early autumn. Fishing, farming, and the few government positions are the only jobs on the island. Such being the case, many of the younger residents have left for Nassau to seek alternative careers. Though all the Out Island settlements seem to suffer, somewhat from their distances from Nassau, surely little Mayaguana suffers most by being so far removed physically, as the most southeasterly Bahamian isle. a tiny island outpost in the Bahamas that has AMAZING PRISTINE UNDISTURBED DIVING! It is less than 40 miles from the Turks & Caicos. Known more for the legend that pirates dug a fresh-water well there, Mayaguana island has turned out to be a special and undisturbed dive destination. You can be among the first to discover what her bountiful waters have to offer.

SCHEDULED ITINERARY

Mayaguana Itinerary

While each Mayaguana cruise may vary due to weather and sea conditions, the outline below will give you a good feel for the adventure you could experience!

Saturday:
Your adventure begins as you arrive in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands. The word Turks derived from the Islands' pirate history, when 17th and 18th century pirates used the islands as hideouts and preyed upon the passing Spanish treasure ships bound for Europe. The term "Turk" for a pirate stemmed two centuries earlier when the Ottoman Empire dominated the Mediterranean and Turkish corsairs harried European Atlantic shipping, thus translated "Turks" Islands becomes "Pirate" Islands!

The Nekton Rorqual will be docked at Nikki Beach Marina on the east side of the island. A taxi ride from Providenciales to Nikki Beach marina should be less than $50 one way. Once at the marina, please enjoy dinner ashore as dinner will not be served Saturday evening. Embarkation begins at 7:00 pm with the Captain's briefing about 8:00pm. Later that night the vessel gets underway.

Sunday - Friday Morning:
After clearing customs in Mayaguana, exploration begins in the waters around the island. The diving here ranges from shallow water reef dives to deep blue water drop-offs. There are quite a few impressive swim throughs as well. The reefs along the wall are very healthy and have lots of colorful sponges, corals, and tunicates. Small shrimps and crabs are attached to many of these corals, which provide an excellent site for macro photographers. You will also find colorful tropical fish, schools of blue tangs, hawksbill turtles, large grouper, reef sharks, nurse sharks and many more.

Enjoy at least 4 - 5 dives per day, including a night dive. A typical day goes something like this:

6 - 8:00 a.m. Breakfast Buffet
8:00 a.m. Dive briefing on sundeck followed by open diving
10:00 a.m. Mid-morning snack
11:45 a.m. Back onboard
12:00 noon While lunch is Served, boat moves to afternoon dive site
1:00 p.m. Dive site briefing on sundeck followed by open diving
3:00 p.m. Mid-afternoon snack
5:45 p.m. Back onboard
6:00 p.m. Dinner is served followed by evening slide presentation
8:00 p.m. Dive deck opens again for night dive
10:00 p.m. Depart for tomorrow morning's new dive site.

Friday Afternoon:
Enjoy an evening ashore were the friendly locals are pulling out the red carpet and showing Nekton's guests the charming towns. A guided tour will be given of the main settlements. Dinner will be served at the Baycaner. Please bring $25 cash for the guided tour and dinner. Alcoholic beverages are not included in the $25 fee. (Please note: Bring cash with you. There are no banks or ATM's on the island. Credit cards are not accepted.)

Mayaguana Settlements

Betsy Bay

Located on the North Coast; hear the tales of the buried treasure lost on the island. Enjoy dinner at Baycaner - directly across the street from Pirates Well.
Abraham's Bay

Mayaguana Airport
The 11,000 foot runway was part of former US missile tracking stations used during the NASA Project Mercury and Apollo programs to help keep the astronauts on course.

Friday night:
The boat makes the passage back to Turks and Caicos Islands.

Saturday:
The Nekton Rorqual will arrive back at Niki Beach Marina in the morning. After clearing customs, local taxi service is available with dock side pickup for transfers to the airport.

Please schedule flights for after 12:00 noon in and out of Providenciales, Turks and Caicos and REMEMBER DAN's recommended waiting period between repetitive diving and flying.


Additional Tours or Diving in T&C:If you want to book add'l tours after our trip let us know! We'll have a full list of them posted soon.

Boat Diving Its ALL Boat Diving and few if ANY day boat operators. There are NO moorings set yet and Nekton will be setting these in Feb. This means the NEKTON has this amazing destinations to itself! Shore Diving There will be no shorediving on this trip as it is a liveaboard offering 4-5 dives daily. Night Diving You can do a night dive every night of the trip that one is possible and we are not doing a crossing or on the last day before departure. Max Depth: 130 ft Water Temp: ave low 80's degrees F Air Temp: high 70's to 80's - degrees. However, water temp can be a degree or so lower than air temp so you may want to bring a boat coat to stay warm between dives from evaporation or wind chill.

1. 12-23-09 Trip opened up for Premier Member and Above "First Dibs" booking until Dec 30, 2009. (Since there is a $100 EXTRA discount if paid in full by Jan 1st you may wish to upgrade to premier member of which you'll get $25 back and be one of the first to get this extra deal!)

2. 12-27-09 Trip price reduced by Nekton from $1795 to $1595, repeat discount no longer available but paid in full discount still available if paid in full by Jan 1st

FAQ - CHECK HERE OFTEN TO AVOID READING ALL THE POSTS IN THIS THREAD!

Q. Since we are flying into Turks and Caicos can we spend a few days diving there?
A. I will have the pricing for extra boat diving as soon as I can!


Q. Why the big deal over trip insurance and when do I have to buy it if I want it?
A. People are used to things being pretty good and not worrying about things like insurance. However for some reason MORE people have experienced having to cancel a trip or having their vacation ruined due to accidents, illness, death in the family and even death of the member. And while our vendors and SD truly want to help you, we are extremely limited in what we can do if you did not take out trip insurance. Therefore we will be STRONGLY ENCOURAGING you to buy trip insurance and consider an annual plan like Dive Assure (link at end of first post) to cover all those unexpected things that would otherwise cause you to lose most if not all of your vacation monies. NOTE: The last possible date to buy insurance is before the last payment is due so 90 days before the trip UNLESS YOU PAY IN FULL FOR ANY EARLY PAYMENT DISCOUNTS.

Q. I am new to the single divers website and am interested in getting some more information about your trips. I was looking at this trip. Do you have people from all over and all ages and experience levels that go on these trips?
A. Yes we do. Divers range from about 25 to 55, we average about 40% women…sometimes more on our trips…several have been essentially 'chick trips' with more gals than guys and we have every one from novices with 6 dives to master scuba diving instructors on trips. EVERYONE is welcome and we love new(er) divers. We even offer an innovative program for new divers that is part divebuddy/dive mentor. Its called Rent-A-Buddy and you hire a private DM to be your buddy so you can focus on YOU and YOUR diving and not worry about anything or anyone else. Your buddy will also mentor you providing customized feedback on YOUR diving helping to reinforce GOOD habits or develop GOOD habits right from the start. Everyone who participates in this program RAVES about it. Its quite reasonable…$50 per day or $150 for the week.

Q. I'm trying to decide if I should do a double occupancy to save money or a single just in case the roomie thing does not work out. What do you recommend?
A. You have CHOICES on our trips. One of our primary goals is to AVOID SINGLE SUPPLEMENTS. We use an extensive rooming and trip survey to help us with rooming decisions. If we help you with rooming you won't be disappointed. And if for some reason your roomie looked good on paper but just didn't pan out in reality...TRUST ME WHEN I SAY...it's not a big deal and we'll get you swapped with someone else in a flash. EVERYONE knows that it could be them that didn't mesh with their roomie so they are happy to help someone else match up better. After all...it could be them the next time. So let us know which way you want to go and you can see by the extensive survey we do...we have LOTS of parameters to help you match on many levels with a potential roommate. And if you just want to unwind and pamper yourself...the single upgrade fee is not that much and you can have a luxurious time by yourself. The CHOICE is YOURS!!! :D

Q. I noticed in the "who's going" section that most of the people have nitrox, is that a problem if I don't?
A. Absolutely not but many divers find it will allow them to dive more since we are doing 3 boat dives a day. We'll have an instructor on the trip so if you want to take the class while you are there it's a great way to combine diving and training. Air divers will be buddied with other air divers and/or I'll dive with any air diver that needs a buddy. SD.com will help you with the buddy arrangements!

Q. Do I need to sign in as a member to be able to access all the forms that are needed?
A. Yes you will need to register on the site with a screen name (choose a fun diving or personality related one if you can) and you'll need to be logged into the site to post. Once you tell us you are going on a trip with us we send you a link to the forms in case you have not found the link in my signature along with the password for the forum. (Note it is NOT the same as your login password.) To sign up for a trip simply POST in the topic/thread that you want to go with us, your payment is enroute and then tell us if you'll need extra days, if you want double or single occupancy, if you want nitrox or air, etc.

Q. What would be the easiest way to pay with my credit card for this, could I call you and pay that way?
A. You can pay with credit card via our new secure online web payment gateway. Simply click on the CLICK HERE TO PAY SD NOW button in the first post and it will allow you to pay via cc or your checking account. All prices are discounted for cash so if not paying via check please include the 3% non-cash convenience fee. If using a credit card not drawn on a US bank you may have to fill out our credit card authorization form so we can process your payment manually (found in the forms forum link in my signature) and email it as a pdf to me to kamala@singledivers.com or fax it to me to 864-944-6769. Again please include the 3% non-cash convenience fee if paying via this method.

Q. Is it more common for people to book their own flights, or do you do most of the travel arrangements for people?
A. Actually most people do book their own flights. We are happy to help but charge a nominal $25 booking fee for researching and booking flights for you unless the flight is part of the trip package and then the price is covered in the trip cost already. Let us know if you'd like us to make travel arrangements for you. We simply add the $25 fee to your total invoice. We are sorry that we were not able to get air discounts for Bonaire this year as we have in past years.

Q. Can I get a Rent-A-Buddy for this trip...how does it work?
A. Yes you can rent-a-buddy for the trip...we have a limited number of DM's/Instructors available for you to rent to help you focus on only yourself and not worry about being someone's buddy or to allow you to improve your air consumption and bouyancy etc. You are hiring a professional 'coach' to help you reinforce your recent open water skills or to help you refresh them or to just basically help to mentor you. The price is $50 per day or $150 for the week. If you need your rent-a-buddy to do your first night dive it is recommended that you consider the night dive specialty or even just the night dive sign off of AOW...Advanced Open Water via one of our instructors.

Q. I will need Rental Gear. What do I do?
A. Let us know what you need for rental gear? We will have Cochran computers available that you can use to do DAN research AND avoid having to rent. As for other rental gear...please let us know and we'll get you the prices.

Q. I want to bring School Supplies for the kids. What is best to bring?
A. The basics are always hard to come by...notebooks, paper pads, pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners, markers, etc. Please bypass the ones that are more like toys. And please bring them in one of the million canvas totebags you get from conventions etc....that way they stay together AND a child will end up with a book bag...plus we don't add more plastic to the already challenged environment. You might also pick up some cheap 'readers' from the dollar stores...they will help kids who have a problem reading without glasses. And if you do not want to bring supplies but would rather donate money that is fine too. School supplies have a 50% import tax on them so they become very expensive in the country. That is why paper is good to bring as it is heavy to import and expensive once it is on island. But ANYTHING you bring will be gladly accepted and put to good use. NOTE: Do not pack a box to bring supplies in. Use a suitcase so it looks like it is your personal items. A box will usually be opened and then you will be taxed on the supplies you are bringing in...EVEN if they are for charity.

Q. I get that the price of the trip is currently 1793.80 (pkg + fuel + port/departure fees + com fee + Bahamas Govt Charter Fee + Nitrox). How does the 200 airline voucher work? Do you send me a 200 voucher that I can then use to purchase airfare? Or do I need to purchase airfare through SD on either airline of your choice or my choice?
A. So the trip is REALLY $1595....check Nekton's Website. We have a $200 air voucher. Since most of our members book their own airfare we negotiated to have the voucher BUILT INTO THE TRIP PRICE...so the SD price is $1395.

This trip is NOW OPEN FOR BOOKING!!!

Please note the procedure outlined in HOW TO BOOK A SPOT ON THIS TRIP as it has CHANGED! Please use the NEW BOOKING TEMPLATE to help you sign up for the trip!And not following it may result in you not booking your spot properly. This normally may not be an issue but in a trip where spots are limited vs. demand...improperly booking may result in not getting a spot.

Note: You are responsible for READING EVERYTHING IN THE FIRST POST! If you do not and do not book your trip properly, SingleDivers.com will honor those bookings that were made according to the new process outlined in the first post. You will also note that we are using a new format for collecting information from you that we need to book your holiday. We are streamlining our manual processes so we can better automate them later this year and next.

And finally...since this trip is anticipated to fill out quickly, your spot will NOT be guaranteed until we receive you $500 deposit AND you FILL OUT THE BOOKING TEMPLATE. In order to be fair all payments will be received via our new SECURE ONLINE payment gateway ONLY so they will be timestamped accordingly. The payments are NOT realtime so to compensate for the lag...ONLY PAYMENTS RECEIVED VIA THE NEW SECURE ONLINE PAYMENT GATEWAY WILL BE HONORED. If you must use AMEX you can pay us via paypal. Our ID is kamala@singledivers.com but you must add the 3% non-cash convenience fee to all payments via paypal including bank draft as we are charged this amount regardless. As noted in the first post, if you have ANY problems please document them and contact kamala@singledivers.com asap to manually enter your payment in the gateway or resolve the problem for you.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THEM INCLUDING THE USE OF OUR NEW SECURE ONLINE PAYMENT GATEWAY! (Instructions and link found in the first post.)

HOW TO BOOK A SPOT ON THIS TRIP:

Be sure to read this section in the FIRST POST as it has changed. :)

And see you in Mayaguana!!!

Remember our premiers get first dibs on booking until Dec 30th!

I paid a $500 deposit for the April Mayaguana trip... though there was a Turks and Caicos heading and a Mayaguez heading in the online pay form... not sure which one was correct. The template does not seem to want to copy and paste... any hints?

The template will not keep its formatting...but it will capture the questions. You can just fill it in via your post and we'll do the rest of the fancy stuff.

Choose the Mayaguana heading 4-10 vs T&C 9-10. I'll make sure you are set up for the April trip! Great to have you. Have you dove with Nekton before? Its worth $100 if you have. Do you think you'll get the paid in full by Jan 1? If so that is worth another $100.

:)

Way to jump aboard Scott! :welcome:

Here's what I read for pricing:

Normal price is $1795 less $100 discount for PAYMENT IN FULL AT TIME OF BOOKING if paid by January 1st + Repeat Customer Discount of $100 (if applicable) is ONLY $1595 IF BOOKED VIA SINGLEDIVERS.COM!!! And with your premier member rebate after the trip that's another $25 off. Price is $1695 if paid in full early and not a repeat customer


So... if you pay by Jan 1st in full, $1695....if you're a lucky repeat customer of Nekton and pay by Jan 1st in full, $1595...

(Don't forget things like nitrox and additional fees... :diver: )
