Hey gang....I was looking at doing Bonaire or Curacao in June of this year and have found good deals for both.

But I just got a phone call from Rodales ScubaDiving Magazine and they want to do a "Don't be Buddyless in Bonaire Singles Week" and they want us to be their exclusive singles partner! The only catch is that in order to do it right they need to have about 5-6 months advertising which would make the event in November vs. June. November is actually an excellent time to do Bonaire as it is low season which means lower pricing...there are more LARGE animals to see...you can more easily dive the east side which is fabulous and with 5 resorts involved...we can REALLY have a blow out singles extravaganza!

So what do you all think?

Do we go for it or pass on November and just do our own thing in June? (If we do it the dates would include Veterans Day since it is a holiday for many!)

Let's go in November and pick up the free publicity.

I don't see how you could possibly ignore free publicity from Rodales. The potential to increase your business would be priceless.

I don't know how others feel about this, but I would probably do it if it were incorporated into Thanksgiving holidays! (i.e, give thanks for being single.. er... uh... I mean... buddyless... no that's not what I meant either.... well.... ). I'm sure some travel for Thanksgiving, but it would mean I would only have to take 3 days of vacation if I could go at all!

Well traveling over Thanksgiving would give Carla another chance to lose her luggage in a bigger crowd.
Maybe some other week in November would have better airfare and people burning FF miles wouldn't have blackout dates.
BTW, it's not really "Rodales" Scuba Diving anymore.

Well I know I'll probably be able to swing this one as I won't probably have to use vacation time if it's right around the holiday... so count me in! :cool1:

...you can more easily dive the east side which is fabulous and with 5 resorts involved...we can REALLY have a blow out singles extravaganza!

Question - Are you saying the group would be staying at 5 different resorts, or we would be at one resort and there would be other groups/singles staying at the others? Is there a limit to the number from Singledivers.com?

We would be at one resort but there would be 5 resorts involved!


Tell us how the other 4 would be involved. This sounds intriguing
