I just spoke to the charter folks, and the morning two-tank trips on Sat and Sun are filling fast. There is still plenty of room on the Friday afternoon 3-tank trip, as well as the Saturday night two-tank fireworks dive.

I have been in contact with Kamala, and negotiated a rate for SD members of $95 for a two-tank dive, and $120 for the three-tank dive. This represents about a 10% discount from the regular price, and includes the boat charter fee, two Nitrox tank rentals (AL80s with 36%), weights if you need them, and all applicable taxes. You will need to PM me for details on how to get the above rate.

I am bringing a group of divers down to Boynton Beach for the July 4th weekend. We are diving Friday afternoon (3 tanks), Saturday morning (2 tanks), Saturday night (2 tanks) and Sunday morning (2 tanks). All dives will be done aboard Dive Charters International boat Deeper, running out of Sea Mist Marina.

I have reservations already for everyone in my group, but there might be some additional space on the boat if anyone else from SD is interested in joining us for a dive or two. In particular, the Saturday night dive will be kind of interesting and different. I have arranged for a special "Fireworks Night Dive" - the way this works is that we will leave the dock for an early evening dive, while it is still light out. During the surface interval, the captain will motor the boat down towards Delray Beach, where he will anchor us in a spot to watch the city fireworks display. The fireworks are shot from a barge on the water, so we will literally have a "ringside seat" for the show. After that, we will do a night dive and then head back to the dock. Kind of an interesting and unique way to celebrate the 4th of July. :teeth:

Contact me via pm for more details or preferably contact the operator to sign up.

This sounds like fun. I'll send you a PM from my home computer this evening to discuss the details. Thanks for thinking of us locals! :birthday:

Looks like one of our kindly mods removed my contact info from the original posting. FYI, I don't have a "paid" membership to SD, so you will not be able to PM me (which is why I posted the E-mail address to begin with). So I guess we will have to discuss the "meeting up" details here on the thread.

FYI: Some members put their e-mail addresses in their profile and Premier members can get it from viewing your profile before sending you a private e-mail. You won't be able to view another person profile, Jim, but Scubagoddess can e-mail you directly. Too bad I'm working that week-end or I would join you in a heartbeat. Have fun.

Jim you are killing me... :birthday:

Its $35 a year of which you get $25 back any time you do a trip with us or run any private travel via us.

That amount keeps our site advertising free, spam free, predator and pervert free and it helps to offset the expenses of running an organization like this.

It also gets you deep discounts from our vendors and partners not to mention it just not a lot of money in the first place like less than $3/month or about .10 a day!

Come on...join the club! :cool1:

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

I've spoken to Jim and there is extra room on the boat! He has persuaded me to let this be a joint trip for his students and our members! It should be a blast and he will be posting all the details soon! So plan to join SD.com for 4th of July in Boyton Beach!

p.s. there are up to 3 days of diving ops so a great last minute deal for diving Florida!

Jim that is awesome! I want to thank you for sharing your group dive with our group! :usflag:

I know you have plenty of people to qualify for enough people on the boat but also discounts. That is very cool of you to ask me if you could open it up to our members!

Now I just wish I lived closer...I'd be joining you if I did! Kamala :teeth:

If it was a SD trip, there would have been some of us that would have come down for it, like I did for NC last year! July 4th makes for a great dive weekend.
