Punky - Please upgrade me to upper bearth, but ONLY if a cabin with single beds is available. Sharing a double bed is a deal breaker for me.

Thanks!!

Discount for Sleeping Together:

Sleep together? Yes this boat has 2 cabins with only 1 Double/Queen bed in them therefore we are looking for a total of 3-4 people willing to share a bed in exhange for a discount of $100 per person off the upper cabin price of $1495. If a gal is willing to share one of the upper bunk single double/queen beds with me then I'll give her the $100 discount or if she wants the whole bed I'll sleep in the lobby and dhe can pay the regular price. If it turns out that we can't get enough gals or couples I'll stay with a guy and let him have the bed for the $1495 d/o price and I'll sleep in the lobby.

And NO...we are not a dating service but we are a bunch of friends who will work to make the rooming accommodations work out!

Now there's an !!

hey did you happen to see this?????

Cat Wall a.k.a. The Notch
The Cat Wall is a multi level wall dive consisting of several large coral heads sitting on the edge of the Bahama Bank's secondary drop off, where the depths finally drop away to over 500'. On a sand bottom at 85'-95', these coral heads rise to a depth of 65', offering plenty of relief and mountainous vistas. Between the two largest heads is a canyon that runs over the edge of the wall as a sand chute, giving the site it's secondary name. Divers start their dive by dropping down The Notch to their maximum depth, then ascend ahead of decompression obligations to explore the shallower parts of the reef. The reef itself is washed by the warm Gulf Stream current, with outstanding biodiversity as a result. Schools of creole wrasse and bait fish of all sorts hover over the rocks, while smaller tropicals hide in the cracks and crevasses among the coral, gorgonians, and sponges. Along the wall, barrel and rope sponges thrive. Larger game fish feed along the edge here, and large black grouper, dog snapper, horse eye jacks, and king mackerel can be seen. In addition, pelagic fish like wahoo and dolphin (mahi mahi) may be seen on occasion, and at the top of the food chain, caribbean reef and hammerhead sharks are regular sightings.


Woo Hoo!! Hammerheads for Simon!

As far as hotel I went the Hotwire route hoping to get close to the Las Olas area.

I saw they had an unnamed 4 Star for $93 in the Las Olas area. I went for it and it ended up being the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Hotel. Total with taxes was $111.00.

It is very close to the airport but there is no shuttle.

It should be a pretty nice place, although it didn't end up being close to the Las Olas area as I wanted.

I am booked there and will just Taxi back and forth, it's only a couple miles.

Squid.... check out "Super Shuttle" for airport transfer in Ft. Lauderdale or Miami for airport transfers. As I recall they chanrge a flat fee and are much cheaper than taxis. !!!!!!

Squid - I'm likely coming down Friday night as well. I'll confirm when it gets closer, but I'll try to stay at the same hotel. I'd be happy to have you aboard "Babs Airport Transfers" if you wish.
I'll use Park n' Fly to dump my car in the morning and get us to the airport.

My leave slip was approved today, so I'm definitely in. The check for the full amount minus $50 for early booking is in the mail. I would like a lower berth (cheap, cheap, cheap), D/O, and nitrox. Any word on the charter yet? I looked at air from FLL to Bimini and it was the same ($250) as what I'm going to pay from Denver to FLL. If it works out cheaper, I'm interested. I'll get flights to FLL booked and fill out paperwork next week. See you there!

The top 2 things on my list are finish the Curacao trip in Nov and get this charter squared away. I will have BOTH done shortly but I'll be offline for most of today as my office is moving...no not to SC but out temporarily for work to be done on it.

I'd be happy to have you aboard "Babs Airport Transfers"

I'll take a seat on that train.

I'd even sit with the luggage at the airport if you wanted to drop me off and you run to Park n' Fly and not have to haul all that gear around.

However you want to work it is fine with me.

We'll swap info and work it all out later.
