Met SD reps at Beneath the Sea last weekend & picked up info. Dominica looks interesting. Not many have signed up - is there a minimum # to keep trip, or will trip happen even with just a few? 

Richard, one of Kamala's biggest selling points on her trips is once a trip opens for booking it is a go regardless how many (or few) are signed up. (Of course it is incumbent on us then to market for sufficient attendees to avoid a loss; because of several unfortunate family losses and illnesses, we got some of our 2015 trips off to a very late start so come join the group in Dominica!)

I plan to sign up for one of the weeks (soon).  I have some business conflicts in each week that I need to reschedule. I'll see what reschedules easiest.

YEA!  Let us know if you will use our charter flight as I have to release unsold spots and they will price out higher in the system if they are still available.

[StillDiving]

Yes, I would like to use your charter, but don't know what week yet.  When do you have to release seats?
