We traditionally have a fun and zany costume contest on our Single's Weeks Trips.  We pick a theme and you interpret that theme in any way you wish for the contest.

 

We judge based on:

 

  • Creativeness
  • Originality in interpreting the theme
  • Fun factor
  • How well you tell your story... WHAT I HAVE TO TALK?????  (You'll simply explain what you are and how it relates to the theme and/or why you should win. Super easy and where a simple costume becomes POWERFUL and often the winner)

Notice we did not say we judge on.... cost of the costume, weight of the costume, or how fancy it is.... and while they are not discouraged we understand everyone has luggage limits so we are uber creative in our judging to compensate for all the obstacles you face in even getting a costume of any type to the island.

 

 

 

So what do we need from you?

 

We need at least 10 people to participate or else our sponsors will not give us the GOOD PRIZES.

 

This year's theme will be an old classic and EASY TO DO....

 

We are bringing back the TACKY TOURIST theme. Come as the tackiest tourist you can and WIN BIG!!!

 

OK THE NEW THEME IS "M"  anything that starts with an "M"... so monkey, motorcycle, mountain, etc and you ARE IN... or is that "M"!!!

 

 

We'll have FREE DIVING, free nitrox, free dive gear and loads of other free stuff.....  Be there or be square!!!

 

 

WHO'S IN THE "M" Theme CONTEST - WE NEED 10 PEOPLE:

 

0. Kamala aka WreckWench (I will participate but I can't win and I am one of the judges)

1. John aka Tandoori

2. Colleen aka DivingBelle

3. Patty aka NJ Turtle

4. Marcia aka LovestoDive

5. Chris aka CLH418

6. Kim aka KimBuddha

7. Joe aka Joe Likes To Dive

8. Nathan aka SeaBoor

9. Terra aka TeRRable

 

 

JUST NEED ONE MORE!!!!

Here is a link to a description of the costume for a tacky tourist and some ideas for clothes - of course following this is probably getting a zero in the creativity department!
