IMPORTANT TRIP UPDATE:
1. Our pkg has unlimited shorediving INCLUDED using air tanks!
2. However the shorediving in front of the hotel is limited so most people rent cars to drive to other sites on the island. You can rent a car from the hotel when on island for as little as one day for approx $60 a day. If people want to do this they can use the private forums we'll set up for this trip to coordinate all who are interested in doing this. We'll also capture in the trip sign up those interested.
3. Night Dives are available via boat only as the house reef is too shallow. We need 8 divers minimum and the price is $65 a person. We'll have a sign up sheet for those who are interested.
