HOW TO USE THIS TOPIC TO ASK QUESTIONS:
 

Hello and :welcome: not only to our club but to the topic you can ask any questions you want about this trip. Please use this topic you are reading right now to ask your questions. You will need to be registered on the SingleDivers.com site and logged into our forums to be able to post. See below for links on how to do these things or email admin@singledivers.com for help.  We will answer your questions here AND update the main trip topic if necessary as well as keep the TRIP FAQ updated in the 2nd topic related to this trip.

 

TYPICAL QUESTIONS NEW MEMBERS ASK:

 

How is the trip information organized so I can find what I need?

 

We use our forums to organize a lot of information that is ALSO easy to update and manage real time. If you are familiar with forums you'll see the logic pretty quickly. If you are new to forums please feel free to email admin@singledivers.com with questions. We try to allow you to navigate several different ways but if you don't get it or aren't sure you can post a question in our forums pretty much anyplace you think looks ok (we can move it for you if needed) or just email us for help. When we are above water not leading a trip you can reach us via 864-557-6079.

 

Every trip has a series of boiler plated topics as seen below. Each of these topics have hot link buttons to the other topics for that trip at the top of the topic post.

 

So when you click on the TRIP DETAILS button from our trip table...if the trip is not open for booking yet then you'll be taken to the "Notify me when this trip is open" topic. Log in and post to be notified and we will add you to the list. If the trip is open for booking then when you click on the DETAILS link in the table it will take you to the #1 Topic aka Trip Topic aka The Full Details, Pricing, Discounts etc. Once inside that topic you can use the hot link buttons at the top to find the other topics mentioned below including a hot link back to the BOOK NOW area of the site.

 

#1 Trip Topic =  Full trip details, pricing, discounts, accommodations, travel details, etc.  (Locked. Only Admins can post to this)

#2 Trip Topic =  Ongoing Trip FAQ and Answers to the questions from topic #3  (Locked. Only Admins can post to this)

#3 Trip Topic = Questions Topic... ask all your questions in this topic  (Open to anyone to post who is registered and logged in)

#4 Trip Topic = Who's Going, Who's doing what extras, Tours, Add On's etc. (Open to anyone who is GOING on the trip to post in if registered and logged in)

#5 Seeing Is Believing = The trip in pictures...you know the whole one pic = 10,000 words thing (Locked. Only Admins can post to this)

BOOK NOW = A hotlink back to the shopping cart for the trip you are viewing so you can book a spot or add on's etc.

More detailed information is available in the thread title "How to Use this Forum to Manage Your Trip"

Kamala - we want to come on this trip!!!  Can you add me to the list from here or do I need to go somewhere else on the site?  Pat will be coming too as a non-diver. She'll hang in the pool at the hotel.  I'd like to do all the morning dives and the Monday BHB dive!!!  Thanks for your help - I'm having a little trouble navigating the site to sign up.  I guess I need a remedial lesson ; )

Hope this all works out!!!

You did great! Unlike our NORMAL trips where you put what you want in the shopping cart and pay...this one is a throw back to our roots where we did everything manually and people just posted what they wanted. So you are signed up no problem.  Sorry we were a bit slow in responding... being run by volunteers means some days we reply immediately and some days its takes a bit longer. 

 

So glad to have you both joining us. Brad had some questions about your tanks but reply in the #4 topic where we track everything that people are doing. :thankyou:
