Welcome Charmed1313...we are glad you are joining us! Bruce aka gobie is a lucky guy!

Our trip coordinators can not see the payments posted to Paypal and I am in the Maldives so will not have much if any internet access once I get on the boat later today.

A quick looks shows we have rec'd your membership dues via paypal but not the trip payment. PLEASE check your account and see if it went thru or not.

PLEASE do not use Paypal for trip payments as we can check them and truthfully they are difficult to work with. We use them for membership as they are integrated with our membership system but that is is.

Please us the link in my signature line to pay for the trip. It accepts checking account info or credit card info for either MC or Visa. It will also add the 3% non-cash convenience fee onto your payment if using credit card where paypal tries to charge me the same fee for both checking acct payments and credit card payments and they do not include the fee in your invoice amount so you typically have to make a 2nd payment to me to cover the fees and then they charge me another transaction fee.

Thank you and we look forward to you 'stalking your bf around the world with us'!

IMPORTANT TRIP UPDATE:

Thanks everyone for getting back to us on:

1. Flight info
2. Repeat diver info (it was for an extra chance at free nitrox and free oceanview upgrade


and now can you help with the following:

1. How many people will help the local orphanage/home on the island? They need LIFE SUPPLIES the most...deoderant, bandaids, neosporin, OTC meds, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shoes suitable for island wear in sizes for young adults and adults, even clothes suitable for island wear for ages 10 and older up to young adult, books to read of all kid levels (Many of the home's kids are educationally disabled and/or have some sort of learning disability but they are older than the typical kid. They have no where to go.

2. How many will participate in our Costume Contest? The theme is "O"...i.e. anything that starts with an "O" or sounds like an "O" or represents a concept that starts with an "O", etc. There is a list in the special discussion forums for replying but we need 10 peeps in order to sponsor the contest. It would be sad to have this be the first year where we did not get enough people to participate. The prizes include FREE DIVE TRAVEL, a personal nitrox analyzer and MORE!!! LOTS MORE!!!

p.s. The use of creativity is rewarded in our costume contests. Now being so esoteric that even when you explain your costume to us we still have to stretch to get it won't further your cause...a good story always will. So we'll ask you to tell us what you are if not totally self evident and then ask you why you should win the contest? Its great fun and low keyed and ONLY our group sees you as we do it in a private area in the resort. And its LOADS OF FUN!!! So come participate! Thank you, Kamala

[Divin' Dave]

I'll be bringing life supplies.

Not sure about the "O" contest.

Thank you for the life supplies...

Come on...the contest is pretty easy...ocean starts with an "O" so you have some creativity there!
