IMPORTANT UPDATE:

This trip is NOW OPEN FOR BOOKING... Click HERE! It is open first to our Premier Members for 7 days until Dec 11th and then it will be open to our general members and non-members. This trip should sell out quickly since the price is only $628 for 7 nites 5 days diving and breakfast daily. The resort is close to town and has the dive shop ON PREMISES! And we are going to do some exploratory diving in the far far far North end of the island...we'll see sites that have not been dove much if at all and we may even discover some new ones.


Heeeelllllppppp!!! Is the link not working, or is it my senior moments???

Hey CJ, I see you are a member... this trip will be open to members after Dec. 11th when the Premier Member sign up time is over...however, if you'd like to become a premier member, it's $35 a year and you can get $25 back after your first trip with SD.

In fact, you'll get $25 back after EVERY trip you take with us not to mention deals on gear, travel for yourself or friends and other stuff! Its simple to upgrade simply click on MY CONTROLS and look for PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS under Options and then follow the prompts to pay via paypal or by post service if paying via check. If using paypal you are upgraded instantly and if using check you are upgraded when we receive your check. And the money also helps to keep a site like this going. As you can imagine its quite expensive to run a place like this.

Duh!!! See...I told you I was having a senior moment.

Anyhow, has anyone found any good fares to Belize??? Everything I'm seeing out of MIA is close to $800, so the previous "hhheeelllppp" still stands.

Also...one very important matter to me, will we be able to dive the Blue Hole, I know it may not be part of the package, however WW, have you set something up already for that, or do we have to book that on our own???

There is good discussion on air in the sign up trip thread. Not sure what everyone is finding but 4 people have signed up in the first few hours the trip has been posted and there are only 12 spots.

The Blue Hole is an option and we can do it if we have 12 divers but I can still get us to the Blue Hole even if we don't get 12...you'll just be with some other operators so no worries there.

Can't believe that air to Belize is that high...that's more than the trip itself!

[WreckWench]

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

4 of the 12 spots have already been taken during the first day of booking. The prices are really great so value conscience divers are jumping on them! $628 is the pkg for the week including 2 boat dives daily and breakfast daily AND oceanview rooms!

Unfortunately for me since that discussion the price of air has doubled for this trip. Glad other people are finding deals or locked in at the cheaper prices when they were available. But even with $750 airfare, its still a good deal.

You may be right, however I'm looking right at this moment upwards of $800, for me, I'll wait for next month and hopefully their will be some sanity to this fares and space available on the trip, if not, I'll just have to wait for another opportunity.

Actually you should look periodically when you think about it. You never know when you'll find a balancing in the fares to your favor! I'd try once a week or so...it only takes a few minutes!

Ok guys...where are you hiding the link to this trip now that's open for the rest of us, so I can take a look see and determine if I can wait for airfares to go down, hopefully sometime next month.

Hey CJ, I reported your post and I'm sure the link will be up soon. for keeping us on top of things.

Hey dive buddy... Its not hiding, just has to be moved from the premier specials forum. There are only 12 spots for the whole trip, but there are still a bit more than half open. Give our wenchie a few minutes, she has to run out back and start up the SD forklift to move it over for you

Ok the forklift is a bit challenged due to all the cold weather we've been having in Dallas. But I finally got it cranked up and it will be moved shortly!

FYI...CJDives if you had of upgraded to Premier last May before you took the Bonaire trip you would have gotten $25 back on that trip and you would have been able to sign up for this one (or any of our trips early) and you'd be $15 a head on your $35 investment!

Of course this way at least I have someone to remind me to move the threads more timely!

[WreckWench]

This thread is now only the discussion thread....the forklift has been cranked and the other topic moved to the 09 Trips Forum!
