Any single rooms left?

[WreckWench]

Kathy if Tankboy26 does not take the last single room then yes we'll have one left but if he does then no. He will know on Monday.

[tankboy26]

Hey guys, I still have unresolved issues,therefore if someone else wants the single room let them have it.If I can make this trip work I will work around.Tanks Mike

[WreckWench]

Kathy/anyone we officially have 1 single room if you want it.

TO ANYONE CONTEMPLATING THIS TRIP:

Call me if you like to talk about the trip. Please read the following from the first post. Also note that the trip has a VERY early departure time of 6:30am and its a long day on the boat. If seas are nice its no different then falling off the boat in anywhere Caribbean. If seas are not it will add to the challenge. Its called 'big boy' diving for a reason...and I like many others love it but it can raise the bar to anyone's diving skills. Most retire early after a long day on the water. Hopefully the weather gods will be kind and we'll have an exceptional trip...that is what keeps us coming back again and again!

p.s. I have had people say this trip is like "diving boot camp" is NOT relaxing due to early departure times and longer boat rides. I personally find it exhilerating and exciting...but then diving on history and with sharks does that for me.

QUALIFICATIONS To Join This Trip: (FROM THE FIRST POST)
1. We require all trip goers to be premier members to facilitate ease of booking and pre-trip communications and support. (See hot link at top of trip for how to register or upgrade your membership. Or email charlies@singledivers.com for help.)
2. (Please note that we ask for 40+ dives and adv open water or equivalent in experience as these wrecks are 80-125ft in depth with square profiles. The water temps are 78-85 degrees at depth and vis is 50-100 ft. No wreck certification is required however the standard nitrox blend is 30%. Most wrecks do NOT have penetration opportunities and you must be specially trained to attempt a wreck penetration. Many of the wrecks have light passthru's where you can swim in and out to the light on the other side. Most of the wrecks are scattered due to frequent storms or if inshore cable layered to prevent hazards to shipping.) The boat is quite accommodating to recreational and tech-light divers. Stage/pony bottles are ok. You will have between an hour and 1.5 hr surface interval and we will spend most of the day offshore with 1.5 to 2 hr transit times to the boat. The boat leaves daily at 6am.

Great job and glad you can join us! I just saw where you want a single room. Another diver asked about it and we had (1) at that time but she did not snag it so we still have one. Let us know. Its the only other one we have. -ww

Actually Jeannie has updated her template to reflect SO vice DO room. I took the liberty of emailing Jeannie aka NeutralBuoyancy directly encouraging her to confirm her claim on the remaining SO room. Hopefully we will hear from her soon.

Actually Jeannie has updated her template to reflect SO vice DO room. I took the liberty of emailing Jeannie aka NeutralBuoyancy directly encouraging her to confirm her claim on the remaining SO room. Hopefully we will hear from her soon.

Sorry to be so indecisive. I am going to change my template back to DO I think. So the SO room is still up for grabs.
