I assume the hotel cost would not include the daily parking fee (hotel website says parking is $16/day self-park) - ? Not sure yet whether I'd be renting a car for the trip (all or part).

The parking lot does not belong to the hotel so we have negotiated a $8 per day per vehicle. rate. If anyone rents a car and agrees to share with others we will help offset those expenses from the people benefiting.  Its one of the really cool things about our club!

Does the hotel have anywhere outside to rinse our gear at the end of the dive day, or do the boat dive ops have that at their shops?

There are hoses near the boat but I found them hard to use when there over Memorial Day weekend.  We ended up going to ScubaWorks since one of those picking up the tanks we rented mentioned they had a rinse tank.  It's not far from the hotel.  Kamala also mentioned tubs to put our gear in after the dive.

I will bring evreryone an 18 gall tub for you to put your gear in. I am checking where we can store...dive shop? Hotel? etc. This is a new hotel for us so we are still working out hte final logistics. Thank you!

   Since I haven't seen the anticipated flurry of trip emails and it's now under two days from my flight down, one last question: how much cash would you recommend bringing for the tips? I'd prefer hearing at least a ballpark figure, since I'm never completely sure whether I'm giving enough/too much on these weeklong trips and have relied on the trip organizers in the past to get my cash together. TIA.

I'm sorry...the flurry is beginning...forgot you were traveling early.

So cash in the US is EASY TO GET. And we have a private bank (of Kamala) that allows 24/hr withdraws with no ATM or banking fee, available wherever you are on this trip. Simply bring a blank check or check book and you can get all the extra cash you need.

More details coming NOW!!!
