Full Details below:
Come join us for a Wreck and Reef Fantasy in the Spice Capital of the World and Home of the Carribean Titanic...the Bianca 'C' sunk in the shallow waters off beautiful Grenada teeming with abundant marine life, pristine reefs and corals, and viturally untouched by Hurricane Ivan. (The damage was on the leeward side of the island opposite of where all the diving is!)
We will be staying at a lovely resort True Blue Bay with full service inhouse dive shop and dive boats conveniently docked at the hotel. True Blue took minor damage from the storm and has already rebuilt and remodeled that which was damaged to even nicer accommodations than when I was there last September. And speaking of last September...I was not only able to set up this fantastic dive trip for SingleDivers.com but I was part of a underwater story written on Grenada that is featured this month in the Winter 2004 issue of WreckDiving Magazine. You'll see my blond mugshot several places in the article which I've also attached for everyone to read more about the absolutely fabulous diving in Grenada.
Although the article talks about the wrecks of Grenada...they are VERY easy diving for all diving skills....fully encrusted which means that they are prettier than many of the traditional reefs yet they represent only a fraction of the diving available in Grenada!
This will be a limited space trip...only 16 spots...once the spots are full they are full and it is doubtful we can get more space so don't wait too long to sign up for this one!
The Package:
September 3-10, 2005 (Sat to Sat)
This is a very unique opportunity to see a pristine diving destination that has full amenities and infrasture due to its active spice trade and medical university yet has only recently been 'discovered' and becoming popular for its diving. Grenada diving is what Cozumel and other destinations used to be! We'll have optional land tours where you can tour the nutmeg processing factory...the nutmeg farms and countryside...the beautiful waterfalls...and other island offerings! They are well worth it and allow you to really experience the ambiance of the island. You can also extend your trip beyond 7 days as well as add additional diving to your package!
