I have paid the Flight Assistance Fee but not the Nightly Dive. In fact, I did not see that option for night dives in the add-ons page.

The dives are included in the trip price. We just track who plans to do them! We will be working on flights for people soon.

Debbie great questions. Just getting back from Cozumel so thank you for your patience.  So far no changes that are material. I will verify what the boat is doing regarding covid safety practices but I'm sure it is top notch as the procedures have been thus far in NC, FL & now last week Mexico.

Regarding the group hotel I will re-evaluate the locale now that things have changed. We need to also apply the same process to the group hotel that we do our prime diving suppliers. I am also seeing if we can obtain any 'covid discounts' so bear with me a little to ensure we get a great hotel in a great location and for a great price. I won't let you down... I never have! Tks, Kamala
