Hey george i hope you took off the grass skirt from cozy, mantas love that as a snack!

[gobie]

Can anyone tell me if there is a shuttle bus to the resort or should i take a cab?
How long of a drive from airport to resort?

Kamala i paid the $8 short fee for the shark dive.

You are the best!

As long as we have your flight details as of YESTERDAY...there will be a shuttle waiting for you! Just look for the Henry Morgan signs and/or SINGLEDIVERS.COM!!!


NOTE: We are still missing some flight details. If you have not sent them to us PLEASE DO SO ASAP. We will try to get them to the resort so you will not pay for a shuttle. The shuttle will cost $30-45 US if you miss this window. Otherwise they are part of your pkg.

they were mantas, they were nesting in the sand when we saw them move off into the blue.........yep mantas.......

[WreckWench]

George I know you know a manta so I will tell the guys here NANNY NANNY BOO BOO! They really saw MANTAS and you did not!!!


p.s. give me the DM's name that also saw them....

[scubaski]

OK diveteacher here with the first update, the resort is pretty nice, it has some odd things about it but nothing that is a deal breaker, the boat i am on is nice with plenty of room. The diving is great!!!water temp on my computers reads 83, 84 depending on which one i read, I like the one that says 84 cause that is warmer. I will be glad when you guys get here cause I am surrounded by a whole bunch of people who do not speak English, and I do not speak Italian, so it is pretty quiet sometimes. The water is pretty clear, about 80 to 100 feet, on the second dive we spotted at least 5 turtles, a couple of spotted drum fish, crabs, lobster, 2 large manta's, and some things that I can not remember.

The weather has been partly cloudy and warm...(duh it is the tropics)...sorry brain fade there....no rain so far

see you soon
George aka diveteacher

Hi George, Water temp at 100' still running about 84" ???
Thanks, Ss

[DiveScoop]

Hi Kamala.

How do you guys like the water so far?

Scott

[CoralReefer]

Just confirming you have all the docs you need from me.....So ready to get wet!

[b3tty]

Is it alright if I don't have my Nitrox card on me and to just have them look it up on the SSI website? It got stolen a while back and I just didn't get around to replacing it.
