SCHEDULED 7 Night /8 DAY ITINERARY:
While OUR personal Belize Experience may vary due to weather and conditions, the outline below will give you a good feel for the exciting week in store for us!
Days Prior to start of our trip: If you wish to arrive early or want to combine other diving adventures in conjunction with this one let us know. We can add days to the FRONT or the END of your week as well as several days of local site seeing on Ambergris Cay or other parts of Belize and Guatemala.NOTE:
Dec 26 Sunday: You will fly into Belize City BZE and then catch a local flight generally every 2 hours to Ambergris Cay to San Pedro airport. The local flight is less than an hour and you'll need some time at the airport to catch the flight as well as allow time for your luggage to be transferred to the flight. (We'll have a list of flight times posted shortly for you to help with your planning.) From the San Pedro airport we'll travel by truck/carts to the resort. The resort is on the water and very close to town.
Dec 27 Monday to Dec 31 Friday: These 5 days will be our group package 3 tank dives off the boats. (2 dives starting at 8am and then an afternoon dive starting at 2pm.) There is no shorediving due to the frequent boat travel of the local water taxis that run on the hour up and down the island. Breakfast is available at a new restaurant on premises for $3-6 on average as is lunch. WE SUGGEST YOU EAT AT THE LOCAL RESTAURANT TO ENSURE YOU ARE BACK IN TIME FOR THE BOAT. Then you can then take a quick siesta, shop, relax or head to the beach bar Frijoles after the day is finished. Dinner is on your own in one of Belize's MANY AND DELICIOUS eating establishments and follows Happy Hour. Rooms come with a refrigerator for those that might want to hit a local grocery store. They are a bit pricey but for the light eater this is an option. An early evening for some follows dinner and socializing, and some will want to do a night boat dive $50 and some will continue to enjoy the ambiance of the town or Frijoles Bar. All in all...it will be a ton of fun for Welcoming in the NEW YEAR and at a GREAT price!
Jan 1 Saturday: Depending if we have slipped one of our pkg dives to do a day of far offshore diving at Blue Hole or Turneffe Reefs this day will either be the last day of your pkg or an optional day of diving for those wanting to do one of the exciting diving venues near the island of Ambergris Cay namely the famous Blue Hole or Turneffe's Reefs. Otherwise this day will be free for activities and sightseeing or just cleaning gear, packing or relaxing.
Other Activities: Throughout the week you can do local sightseeing and activities such as fishing or renting a golf cart and exploring the island. We will spend a great deal of time in town as we experience the wonderful culinary delights of Belizian food each night for dinner. At some time during the week we'll go to the orphanage or foster home and try to personally bring our school supplies to the children. These interactions with the kids are usually very moving and powerful...don't miss it! Since this will be our last night we'll have a group Farewell CookOut hosted by SingleDivers.com and Tides Beach Resort to celebrate the fantastic week of diving and fun!
Jan 2nd Sunday: This is departure day and most flights back to Belize City will be early. You will arrive at the local airport, check in, get a boarding card and wait for the next arrival flight. A quick turnover and the plane will be ready for boarding to BZE. Do keep approx $32-$35 for your exit tax out of the country.
Additional Tours:If you want to book add'l tours during our trip let us know! We'll have a full list of other options posted soon.
DAYS AFTER JAN 2nd: For those who opt for the add'l extra days your departure will vary but the process will be the same.
Boat Diving We'll dive on fully covered dive boats with most sites being 15-30 minutes away. Some of the new exploratory sites will be closer to 45-60 minutes since we are close to town. However the tradeoff is walking distance to town...or 5 minutes boat rides. Most prefer the longer boat ride and the flexibility of being closer to town and activities. For those not sure what we mean when we say we are going to do some exploratory dives we mean we will literally go to some parts of the reef that the dive operator has NEVER been to before. SEAS & WEATHER DEPENDENT. We'll be looking at terrain that has either NEVER been dove before or very very infrequently. The sites we will go to will not have names...so maybe we'll end up naming an amazing site or two ourselves!
PRICE INCLUDES:
• 7 nights/5 diving days d/o OCEANVIEW room
• Refrige in room, dive shop onsite and use of hotel swimming pool

• Food and beverages except for group Farewell Dinner the last night
• Optional Sightseeing Tours in Belize or surrounding area: TBA
• Nitrox upgrade ($150 for the week's pkg dives payable before the trip)

• Resort and Diving gratuities usually 15% of base pkg (these monies go to the divemasters, boat captains and the boat crew as well as the hotel staff.)
• TRIP Insurance is OPTIONAL BUT STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. If you miss the Flight to Belize City BZE you should be able to catch a later flight but may have to overnite in Belize City before getting to the island as the planes are not rated for night flying!

(see the end of this post for 2 great insurance links)
• DIVE Insurance is MANDATORY! DIVE insurance is VERY inexpensive. Even if you have insurance that you think covers DIVING ACCIDENTS and air lifts…it is CHEAP to get a supplemental policy to ensure you are cared for. We recommend both Diver's Alert Network please use reference #1603080 or Dive Assure and get your Dive Insurance and Trip Insurance in one policy. (see the end of this post for 2 great insurance links)

PAYMENT OPTIONS:
SingleDivers.com has implemented a new secure payment gateway that allows you to pay for trips or merchandise using either an e-check which debits your checking account directly without having to mail in a check or debits your credit card without having to fill out a SD.com credit card authorization form. (Please note that any non-US bank originating credit card must still use the paper credit card authorization form as different processing procedures must be followed to process international/non-US credit cards. You'll find this form in the Forms Forum link in my signature.)
SingleDivers.com provides its members with pricing that reflects all possible cash discounts so any payments via credit card or paypal will still incur a 3% non-cash convenience fee. Our SECURE payment gateway which you can access by clicking the PAY SD NOW button below is not a shopping cart and therefore can not total your trip choices nor add the 3% non-cash convenience fee if you are paying via credit card. You will need to enter that data manually to proceed with your payment. <form target="_blank" method='redirect' action='http://www.singledivers.com/phpscripts/paymentgateway.php'><input type="submit" value='Click Here to Pay Now'></form>
This trip may sell out quickly due to the great pricing we have so in order to ensure timely & accurate processing of payment receipts and therefore timely & accurate acceptance of members onto the trip, ONLY PAYMENTS RECEIVED VIA OUR NEW SECURE PAYMENT GATEWAY WILL BE ACCEPTED
<form target="_blank" method='redirect' action='http://www.singledivers.com/phpscripts/paymentgateway.php'><input type="submit" value='Click Here to Pay Now'></form>
If you are unable to use the gateway please provide a complete description of the problem/error you are encountering and contact kamala@singledivers.com immediately to manually process your payment for you.
Please add a 3% non-cash convenience fee if paying via paypal (either via cc or check payment) or credit card or any non-cash option. Checks, money orders and real cash are discounted already.
International/ Non-US Clients: Please use the traditional written credit authorization form to submit credit card payments. Click here for the form and ask trips@singledivers.com for the password.

TRIP INSURANCE VS GAMBLING LOSSES:
Hey folks if you are gamblers and opt to NOT take out trip insurance that is great! However please understand that neither the resort/dive operator nor SingleDivers.com can help you out with your gambling losses. SD.com accepts a huge amount of liability to fill ALL the trips we run OR EAT THE SPOTS.
I can assure you that I have paid plenty of gambling losses over the years. But I won't gamble with my life (I have both DAN and DIVE ASSURE for Dive Insurance) and I won't gamble with my trips...(I have the annual policy by DIVE ASSURE which covers ALL MY DIVE TRIPS!) So the choice is yours....bet on no hurricanes, no accidents, no illness, no deaths in the family, no job loss, no immediate death/injury to yourself* ...and laugh in the end when your bet pays off. But when it does not...PLEASE
PLEASE PLEASE do not expect the resort nor dive operator nor SingleDivers.com to refund your money because your bet did not pan out. 
NOTE: One of the reason's we have you finalize your extras and pay for everything by 30-60 days out is so you have more flexability getting trip insurance. Please take a moment TODAY to do this important task.
