I've added you to the Interested List, Sue!

[Landlocked Dive Nut]

Well, since the Wench is on a liveaboard right now with no internet access, it will be at least Dec. 19 before we hear from her again. Here's hoping this is the next trip to open for booking when she returns!

Add me to the interested list for this trip. Ski season will be winding down and it might be a good time to go dive.

[Landlocked Dive Nut]

You got it, Carla!

We'll notify everybody when the trip opens for booking, hopefully when WW gets back from Mona Island!

[Jerrymxz]

LLDN, Please add me to the interested list. This trip has caught my eye and it’s about the right time of year. Hopefully by then I will be able to save up enough leave to do this one and the Cozumel, Cenotes, Holbox trip as well.

[Landlocked Dive Nut]

Gotcha on the list, Jerry!

[lv2dive70]

Please add me to the interested list. Just got back from the Mona Island trip with Single Divers and Nekton, and was talking to one of the crew about this itinerary before I even had any idea SD was going! This is supposed to be great.

[ScubaShafer]

I would like to do this trip as well!

[Landlocked Dive Nut]

I've added you to the list, Kate! Glad you had a good time with SD diving Mona, and are coming back for more!

[WreckWench]

Kate and Bruce great to have you interested in this trip and we'll get you on the list. I am just polishing up the final details but have the following:

This trip is set for April 10 - 17th, 2010 with the price being $1795 with a $100 discount if you are a repeat Nekton customer. I will also have our standard booking specials for those who book and pay in full early! Stay tuned....

IMPORTANT PRICE UPDATE:

GREAT NEWS!!! The price of this trip was just dropped by Nekton $200. So sadly there is no longer a $100 repeat bonus BUT you still get the $100 early payment bonus which is now $300 savings total possible vs. $200. And of course after the trip you get your $25 rebate if you use the form to file for it!


NOTE: The trip is STILL only open for booking by SD's premier members! Membership does have benefits such as first dibs on booking our awesome trips! As well as DEEP DISCOUNTS ON GEAR AND TRAVEL all for $35 a year. You get $25 of that back after every trip you take with us or we set up for you over $500. How is that!?!?!?!
