I think i need to pay for Premier membership and look into dive assure. Not sure what else.
Really excited!

I see you got the membership paid for! Dive Assure is what I carry. Pls reference us in the drop down box under global partners.  If you can not find it do not reference anyone and send me the email confirmation and I will have corporate do it for us.

p.s. This allows me a deeper level of access when I call on your behalf in the event of an emergency.  It also helps us build reputation points with the company and they will seek us out for input on future products etc.

Pam and Fred you are in luck Normally we can not allow extra days that overlap a week but we are a bit light the first week so will make the exception.  Do you want diving the extra days?  I will send the pricing once I know.

[WreckWench]

Pam & Fred: (continued)

 

1. I see you are trying for both weeks...GREAT! Obviously we can extend you if you get the days off. How soon do you think you will know? Or have you just decided to do the 3 extra days and settle on that since you are buying air?2.

2. Yes diving pkg is Sunday to Thursday (almost everyone adds the last day of diving since it is that good)

3. As mentioned before do you want  to add extra diving days during the 3 extra days you are on the isldn or do youwant to try and do some touring?

4. Are you using the local flight via our contract? We need the air authorization form filled out and payment for it to book it. We have this week to get that done but I have to know TODAY! Thank you! kamalap.s.

 

So glad you are joining us!

I have completed my advanced open water course and would be interested in doing the check out dives. Would this be possible?

Usually yes. How did you do the AOW? Online? Via your local dive shop? I ask because you have to get referral paperwork and sometimes there is not a huge cost break in doing it this way.

So what do you want for your BD - or do I have to call Bill?!?

 

 

 

LOL!!!  Since I've spent my last 5 birthdays in Dominica I already have my BD plan!  The only present I want is more people to party with! LOL !  So if you have any friends who might be interested please tell them! The more the merry!

 

OF COURSE I would my hubby to join me but its high season for him so a 'no go'. In fact he is usually so busy he does not have time to even celebrate it so I started extending my Memorlal Day trip and then that led to doing 2 weeks in Dominica and now you know the "rest of the story"!
