To come in on thursday night and do the 8 dives and stay on the boat Thursday night and Sunday night is $475+$40 right??? I can't get a flight in Friday morning at all.

Yes I was able to get a free night tossed in but that when we were all doing just the 8 dive pkg. If you are the ONLY one doing the 8 dive pkg...I will ensure that you still get the free night on the backend.

Gang if you are doing the 12 dive pkg the extra night is Monday nite...not Sunday.

Kate...if you are the only arriving on Friday and you arrive early they may be able to squeeze but they will treat it as part of the 12 dive pkg. And if everyone arrives Thursday and you arrive early on Friday and everyone is ok with it...you should be able to do the 12 dive pkg. The last dive may be a dusk dive but you should be able to squeeze it in.

Brian I hope you can join in. We do need to keep the genders even for the 3 cabins. And yes 6 is the max. Kamala

I will commit, someone tell me when I should show up and when I leave, (that seems to be still up in the air)

I am guessing there is no Nitrox or are we returning to the doc every night?

At this point I am assuming Fly in Thursday night..
Dive x 4 Fri .....Dusk dive would be nice.
Dive x 4 Sat
Dive x 4 Sun
Goofoff Mon
Fly out Tuesday?

This isn't booked yet..... $365.00 (plus you get to check a bag!!!)

Ok, I am looking at flying in Thursday Night (well Friday morning) at 12:40am, and leaving Monday at 6:52 pm. That would put me at the 12 dive price point right?

Well I was looking at a Monday afternoon departure (not sure how loaded you would be after 3 days of 4 dives), but Sunday? need at least 12 hours out of the water, if you leave at 7pm Sunday you can't/shouldn't dive Sunday.

Even with Kate arriving on Friday you should be able to get 4 dives in with the last one getting close to a dusk dive. Dinner is grilled on the dock and you stay at the dock on the boat overnight.

Worse case is if Kate's flight is late and you go without her for the am dives and come back to pick her up for the afternoon dives and she is a 8 dive pkg vs 12 pkg.

BUY YOUR TICKETS TODAY IF YOU CAN!!!

That would work. Make sure you book today before tickets go up!

Here is the deal for THIS SD TRIP ONLY...

You can add 1 night at no charge with no meals on the back end of the trip if you need it for fly in divers to either the 8 dive pkg or the 12 dive pkg.

You can add 1 extra night on the front or back end for $40 for lodging and some food to arrive early or stay an extra day like Brian is thinking of doing.

Hey Roomie...what did you lose? And more importantly can SD help you get a good deal on your replacement needs???

[Racer184]

Because I live just about 20 miles away... SingleDivers.com Happy hour ????????????????????? (at the boat ???)

(I am halfway between W Palm Beach Airport and Ft Lauderdale Airport and I have a guest room, in case anyone gets in a bind.)

It just occured to me that I drive right past W Palm Beach airport on my way back from a contract I have in Jupiter. So if someone can only get a flight there, and it is not too early in the afternoon, I could pick them up.

Hehe...the main thing I have to replace is my integrated weight pouch...that one went into the deep jumping off the boat - or wait, did that hammerhead get it? :-) ... Kate might have one for me though -- checking on that. The other stuff, I just need to get fixed...I think :-)

Any word on the cut off time for people being on the boat Friday? I think with the five of us saying we already have airfare booked...we will be ready to leave the dock by 10 am on Friday to be able to get in the 4 dives...
