I will be arriving on the 13th also, about 7:30pm, I will be staying at The Fajardo Inn. The crew from the Nekton told me it was about 5 - 10 min from the dock.
The Hotel web site is www.fajardoinn.com. If you will be staying close by drinks and dinner soung fine with me.

Hi there,

That would be cool! I'm still trying to figure out where to stay. Would you mind contacting me on my personal email Moderator Edit so we could hash out the details? I would also like to know if you've done any research about the town and stuff to do. Guess I don't have the membership level to contact you here at this site. Thanks!

Please no personal email addresses in posts. Thank you Site Policy & Guidelines

Please upgrade...you'll get $25 back and you have a SAFE way to communicate with other members. It's easy...and it helps us to offer these great trips...priceless!

How do I sign up and do I get the credit back on this trip?

Click on "My Controls", then click on "Paid Subscriptions" in the column on the left. Choose Premier Member.

After the trip is over, fill out the rebate form and send it in for a $25.00 rebate. The rebate forms can be found with the rest of the trip documents by clicking on the link in my signature line. That is also where you will find the Trip Survey and the Medical Release Waiver. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks

Those wanting to Dive A Cochran for DAN Research for FREE and chance at great deal if buying one!:

I, lars2923 will dive a Cochran...
MCM007, Mike will dive a Cochran (They need to experiment with this dude)

I'd like to sign up for that too. How do I do that?

Sandra

Diverdeb has you on the list. You'll be able to use a state of the art Cochran multi-gas computer (of coures we'll only be using one nitrox blend but its capable of doing 2 or 3) and your dives will count towards DAN PDE support where DAN is wanting to collect 1 million dives of REAL PEOPLE vs just Navy Seals!

Basically you wear the computer and at the end you'll give us some info about you and we'll tie that to the dives and that's it! Its simple, helps DAN and its fun! Plus you get to use an AWESOME computer while you are at it!

Thanks for getting me on list but I didn't sign up for the Nitrox. Does it have to be Nitrox?

No problem. WW will just set the computer to dive air for you.

HELPFUL HINT FOR First Time Nekton - eers.. I have been on Both of their boat s the Pilot and the Rorqual. This will be my fourth ( WOO-HOO) trip..

Sorry I've been so busy at work, but I will try to throw a few notes and observations..

Bring sandals / flip flops that you will NOT stub your toes on or slip out of. This is a dive boat in the middle of the ocean, so things tend to get a little "slippery when wet" so to speak.

Dont "RUSH" ! We are all on vacation. There is no rush to choke down breakfast to be the first on the dive deck.. we all dive when the "pool is ipen " which is basically most of the day.

By the end of the week, you will have the relaxed and satisfying feeling.

Divers, I have found for the most part, are some of the most outgoing people i know. There will be many stories and laughs shared and the most awesome diving experience. Eat , dive , sleep, not necessarily in that order.

REMEMBER : YOU WILL BE OUT TO SEA FOR A WEEK. There are no convienience or liquor stores in the open sea. I like to drink beer.. If you like to drink beer / wine / liqour, please bring enough for yourself + extra. Everyday is a vacation day. The boat has a big cooler on deck that you can keep cold beverages chilled.

It may get a little breezy or chilly at night , bring a snuggie or jacket.. dont forget the basics, sunscreen, hats, shades, backup mask..


If you have any nekton related questions, feel free to message me.

SEA U SOON !

[mcm007]

I forgot, if you have dvd movies (no , not that kind Lars) that you think a group would like, please bring.. We have presentations after dinner, picture viewing , then movie time.

WHY IS YOUR SURVEY SO IMPORTANT???


The typical way you are roomed on a liveaboard is girl with girl and guy with guy. Each room is filled until the boat is filled. That's it. No way to know if the person smokes, snores, parties late/loud, likes the room like an icebox, etc.

However the SingleDivers.com survey helps us know these things about you and if they are pluses or minues. That way we can help to pair you up with the most compatible roommate that we can! And while its not a perfect system, its works MUCH BETTER than random assignments and we can easily make room changes once we are on the boat if we need too. (This definately isn't done otherwise!)

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send us your rooming profile or else we will have to room you with the LEFTOVERS who most likely will be the OPPOSITE OF YOU!

for helping us to help you! -ww
