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! :wakawaka:

 

Good evening! 

Sorry for my late reply... I had a family emergency earlier in the week.

1.  It's final, I can't make it out for the whole first week.   :(!!!  But we will get there on 27 May.  Coming in from San Juan, tix were a little cheaper.

2. I am interested in Diving on Friday (5 Jun), Fred is not.  

3. I am interested in Diving Thursday and Friday, Fred is not.  We will do a tour/shore dive/relax etc on Sat. 

4.  Bummed I missed the chance at the charter - your flight times are great!

Pam aka Blue151

 

 

Hello Pam, sorry for the fmaily emergency and we pray whatever occurred was resolved to the postitive. We are sorry you and Fred can't make both weeks in full, but there will be plenty of diving for the ten days you are with us!

 

Can you please help explain your bullet items 2 and 3 - do you mean Fred will pass on diving Friday 5 Jun PLUS Thursday  28 May and Friday 29 May? And that the Saturday for tour options and relaxing is 30 May?

 

Also please remember, though you conceivably can dive on the AM of Friday 5 Jun, PLEASE be certain that the time of your return flight 6 Jun allows a sufficient pre flight surface interval. Kamala may wish to chime in on the latest guidelines rom DAN regarding this. In an case, please forward your flight confirmation with itinerary to trips@singledivers.com (the COMPLETE itinerary for you both please), Kamala does use that information  :angel2:  and I can transcribe the info we need into each Booking Template.

 

Oh and remember also we need you and Fred both to subscrive to Premeir membership so we can include you in the Dominica Private Message (PM) thread, which contains among other trip specific and critical information, a link and password to both the Documents Forum as wll as Special Discussion (SD) topics whwn they open. Here is a direct link to a quick How to Subscribe topic. Please feel free to contact us at trips@singledivers.com if you have other questions. Thanks and you are going to LOVE Dominica!! :diver:

 

Thanks for your thoughts, yes, everything is on the mend and should end up positive!  :pray:

 

Sorry for the confusion above..

2.  I am interested in diving 5 Jun if there are enough people (6 I think) who want to do it.  My flight departs Dom @ 11 on Sat, so it will likely be about 22 - 23  hours when we get out of the water.... I should be ok by the new "18 hour rule".  If we don't get enough people who are interested, I will be ok sitting by the beach or doing a shore dive too!  :)

3.  Since we are coming in on 27 May (half way through week one).. I am interested in diving 28 and 29 May as well.... Sorry I forgot to put the dates above for clarity.  And the relax day is Saturday - 30 May.... But I am totally flexible, if we meet the 6 person min for a dive boat on Saturday instead of Friday I am good going that day too... I *should* take a break on one day.  :)

 

On the memberships, I sent an email to accounting@singledivers.com last night as well, but haven't heard back.  Fred is signed up/paid.  I had a question about my status.... But hope to get this all worked out soon so we can get the pw and get all of our docs back to you!  Thank you!

Local dive shop. I completed the pool part also. I never found time to do the open water dives. I will get the paperwork when I have my equipment serviced.

 

 

Ok I will see if we can finish it up in DOM and let you know.

 

Glen sending PM with pricing for you. Let me know so we can schedule this as instructors are in demand when the resort is full.

HI Glen, unfortunately Kamala just left for the Grenada trip and we volunteers are scattered all over the states from GA to PA to TX to NM.... and a couple I cannot think of off the top of my head! *grins* Please email trips@singledivers.com for options - we'll hammer something out.

Also, do not need to rent BC at resort. 

And, $50 credit might be applied to Friday AM extra boat dives -- assuming DOM-SXM is low altitude then I should have enough surface time before Saturday international flight.
