(REVISED) HOW TO SIGN UP FOR A SPOT - MUST FOLLOW TO BE ASSURED A SPOT

 

Ok so after several attempts to get people signed up with Aggessor we have standardized the booking process further and ITS MUCH SIMPLER!!! YEAH!!!!  :wakawaka:

  1. Send an email to TRIPS@SINGLEDIVERS.COM with CUBA & The Charter Dates in the subject title and your name and inside the email we need your FULL LEGAL NAME AS IT APPEARS ON YOUR PASSPORT along with GENDER and PASSPORT COUNTRY OF ISSUANCE
  2. Our Trips Coordinator will email aggressor's MAIN YACHT FOR CUBA and give them the trip you want to be booked on along with your FULL LEGAL NAME, GENDER & PASSPORT COUNTRY OF ISSUANCE. 
  3. This will then get you on the manifest for 7 days until they receive your check for $1760 WHICH YOU NEED TO MAKE OUT AND MAIL to  Oceans For Youth 209 Hudson Trace, Augusta, GA 30907 within 7 days of signing up.
  4. MAKE SURE YOUR CHECK SPECIFIES THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: Charter #2950 for Jun 29 - Jul 6, 2019 and #2951 for Jul 6-13, 2019 ALONG with your FULL NAME AS IT APPEARS ON YOUR PASSPORT, GENDER & PASSPORT COUNTRY OF ISSUANCE.  Please ALSO reference SingleDivers.com
  5. Sometime after the 29th of Sept, SingleDivers.com will send you an electronic link to the Aggressor/Oceans For Youth Global Client Information System (GIS) and you can provide all your passport details, your cert levels, etc.
  6. As they receive checks they will let our Trip Coordinator know who's money has been rec'd and who has not. We will then Post that info in the #4 topic for the trip il.e. Who's Going List AND we will send you an email to let you know your money has been rec'd by Oceans For Youth
  7. Once you have mailed the check you should post HERE telling SingleDivers.com you have signed up for the trip and sent your money to Aggressor's Oceans for Youth. NOTE : If they do not receive your money you are not on the trip. You can check directly to see if they have rec'd your money by calling 706-993-2531 and asking for the CUBA YACHT and then telling them your name the CHARTER NUMBER of the trip you are on. #2950 For Jun 29-Jul 6 and #2951 for Jul 6-13.  If your sign up goes past them receiving the money by Sept 29th you will only qualify for the next lower rebate.
  8. NOTE: If you are close to the deadline you can pay via credit card BUT your rebate will be reduced by 3% of every payment so please allow enough time for A PERSONAL CHECK TO ARRIVE to:  Oceans for Youth Foundation 209 Hudson Trace, Augusta, GA 30907
  9. THE REBATE IS NOT MANAGED BY AGGRESSOR...instead it is managed by SingleDivers.com so pleases direct all questions regarding the rebate to trips@singledivers.com and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
  10. At any point in the process you NEED TO sign up for a $1 spot in the SingleDivers.com booking system. This is ONLY TO HELP MANAGE THE REBATE and ENABLE YOU TO FILL OUT OUR DOCUMENTS. The $1 will be refunded to you when we do the rebates and signing up in our system does NOT put you on the trip UNLESS YOU HAVE DONE THE FIRST PART BY MAILING YOUR CHECK TO OCEANS FOR YOUTH. Additionally it will give you an idea of who all is trying to get on the trip and ultimately who made it. If you sign up in our system and OFYouth does not receive your payment in 7 days we will cancel your spot so as to allow others to sign up.
  11. Direct your questions to trips@singledivers.com
  12. If you need to see if your money has arrived please CALL OCEANS FOR YOUTH to see if they have rec'd your money or not and reference the contract number and the date for the trip.
  13. SD.com will send a reminder around for the progress payment due 180 days out as well as the 90 day balance due in full payment.
  14. Late payments can cause the forfeit of your spot. Consider paying in full or early to avoid losing your spot.
  15. Buy TRIP INSURANCE from either Allianz and AG (both European companies) to cover your trip in the event of loss. (As far as we know these are the only companies that will ensure travelers to Cuba for TRIP INSURANCE.
  16. Get DIVE INSURANCE via www.DiveAssure.com They will cover diving related incidents.
  17. Once you are signed up have Aggressor email you a confirmation email and then forward that email to trips@singledivers.com putting CUBA the TRIP DATE and YOUR NAME in the subject line. We will use this to confirm you have a spot on the trip and add you to the official TRIP PM.
  18. QUESTIONS? Trips@SingleDivers.com

PRICING & BOOKING UPDATE:

 

OVERVIEW:

 

  1. Both trips are EXACTLY THE SAME...going to Garden of the Queens, Saltwater Crocs & other cool sites, however the Jun 30-Jul6 trip has more spots on it for our group i.e 12. The Jul 6-13 trip is over half full and so we have only 8 spots on it.
  2. Because early sign ups are VITALLY IMPORTANT we are rewarding you for signing up early using some incentives SD.com worked out with the boat. (Shhsshh this is our little secret our members get to benefit from!) :cool1:
  3. Unlike normal trips you ONLY HAVE TO MAKE THE DEPOSIT to hold your spot on this trip and of course make the progress payment TIMELY to Aggressor's Oceans for Youth. SD.com will track who's signed up, paid in full, and/or still need to complete things with OFYouth throughout the process to help you.
  4. The HUGE savings are at the end of the trip and will be in the form of a rebate to you. OFYouth will rebate SingleDivers.com the funds and we will immediately rebate you upon cleared payment in full and successful completion of the trip. No rebate can be given until you TAKE THE TRIP as the money sent in must match the person who sent it in and went on the trip. (This is part of the legal requirements of this program.)
  5. Trip ins will be VITALLY IMPORTANT to protect your investment. You will have EXTREMELY limited trip cancellation protection from Aggressor/and the People To People Exchange program so you MUST get trip ins to protect you.  (See cancellation terms below)

 

PRICING

 

The trip is $4399 for the week but those who have gone have said ITS WORTH IT. Because it is the first time we've done Cuba and its a special program, early sign ups are needed ...we have some AMAZING EARLY SIGN UP SAVINGS FOR YOU.  Normally we offer early booking discounts of $100 or so off a trip..but thru special negotiations for a VERY SHORT TIME ONLY we are able to offer some HUGE TOTAL SAVINGS ON THE TRIP VIA A TRIP REBATE/REFUND OF THE FOLLOWING....

 

$500 off,,...no that is not a typo... $500 off the trip price rebated at the end when paid in full.for doing Jun 30-Jul 6  Why? We have twice the spots for this trip and so its a supply and demand thing.... more spots = more savings but ONLY UNTIL Sept 29 ...SEE SPECIAL BOOKING REQUIREMENTS AS THEY ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Sign up wrong and you not only are NOT on the trip but you won't get the $500 or other rebate amounts back.
