Island Tour to include the donkeys etc:

Note: This is not set up yet but it we get 5+ people we can easily set it up. I would estimate about $25-30  $70-90 US per person if we can get 5 people for the gas and the guide. It could be a bit more but should be in that vicinity price wise. Let us know if interested so we can work to arrange it.

 

NOTE THIS ACTUALLY HAS TO BE A PRIVATE TOUR SO IT'S $90 for 5-9 people and $70 for 10 or more. I've marked who has RECONFIRMED that $90 is ok...

  1. Tanya aka TigerSharkT
  2.  Joel aka GigemDiver (Accepts $90 charge) - Prefers Friday afternoon
  3.  Cecile aka Zil - (Accepts $90 charge) - Prefers Friday afternoon
  4.  Marvin aka marvo - (Accepts $90 charge)
  5.  Nanci aka PB Girl - (Accepts $90 charge)
  6.  Joy aka ChaparritaDiver - (Accepts $90 charge)
  7.  Tanya aka TigersharkT - (Accepts $90 charge)

Chez Neal/ Chez SD Volunteer Supply List: (A longtime SD tradition of a designated Happy Hour room)
This is a totally volunteer contribution effort, but between Duty Free and selecting your own favorite libations this has proven a super Social Hour solution!
We also solicit snacks, so if you prefer not to contribute alcohol please consider chips, crackers, etc.
LOCATION: The Wench's room (plus 1-2 rooms near the dive shop in case of overflow!)
WHEN: When diving is over! Come join us for Happy Hour drinks and snacks (concludes at dinnertime)
HOW: Get a bottle at Duty Free and snacks from home (nuts, pretzels etc) Mixers as well as beer can be found a block away at Sunshine Grocery.
OTHER: We ask a few volunteers to bring cups plus ice from the ice machine. We may need a few extra mixers depending on what people bring.
AFTER: After HH each night we store the beverages as well as snacks in the host studio that includes a kitchen and bring them out for the next HH.
NOTE: Please feel free to take your 'bottle' back to your room with you if you  wish and/or leave it until the next day for the HH (Happy Hour)

  1.  Kamala aka WreckWench - Whatever booze the budget allows + Snacks
  2.  Tanya aka TigerSharkT - will pick up something in duty free (coming from Europe so super limited on space)
  3.  Joel aka Gigemdiver - I will bring something from the Duty Free shop for Happy Hours
  4.  Nanci aka PB Girl - I will bring something from the Duty Free shop for Happy Hours
  5.  .

Something to Celebrate!!

NOPE!!! Only guilty of common sense...but since this trip was a repeat it was easy to open up compared to a NEW TRIP with NEW VENDORS like the Red Sea is.  Thank you for a chance to explain things! :respect:

Happy to contribute with some duty free to happy hour room :-) I think I will go Nitrox but want to see how I get on with my other dive trips because I may not do every dive, I also want to explore the island one day, so can we tack it on once we get there?

:welcome: Tanya!!! We are so thrilled you found us and will be JOINING US DIVING!!! WOO!!! HOO!!!

 

Most of our divers DO Nitrox not only for longer bottom times BUT also to offset 3 boat dives a day and unlimited shorediving AND to offset the chronicles of age... basically anyone over 50 should be diving nitrox for the increased 02 benefits.

 

If we have enough people interested we can set up an island tour for Friday our last day. We will track people interested. If we have enough it will be about $25-30 US per person for the gas and the guide.  We will start a list NOW for others to show interest and add you to it!

 

Let us know if you have any other questions! Kamala

I am not sure if its the same for the US or not but I just paid £300 EXTRA to book my flights than if I had booked 2 weeks ago :verysad:  :verysad:  :verysad:  :verysad:

 

So I would encourage others to book their flights ASAP because it seems like with the world opening up again, there is a mad rush to book flights

Tanya yes we have seen similar increases over the last few weeks to various destinations, it appears to be linked to the spike in oil prices. :verysad:

 

However congratulations are in order to you and yours for beating us Yanks back to something resembling normalcy!  :diver:

This may have something to do with the UK COVID rules which are now encouraging Plan A vs American rules.  I just checked the flights from DFW and they a little less or similar than precovid but there are only 2 viable flights on Saturday.

Now that the cool people have joined it will be fun to see who else does.   :cool:  

 

FYI flights out of DFW are only about 20% full and priced right now... hint hint  :whistle:  :whistle:  :whistle:

 

Something to Celebrate: First dive trip after conquering a long term illness... and 2020/2021.   :cheerleader:

 

Forms are mostly done but I will wait for insurance until we get closer so I can't complete insurance or medical liability yet.

 

On another note, this was the first time I have booked a trip on this site in years.  While filling out the forms I was struck with the thought that whoever put this together must be brilliant.  Its so easy to use and so attractive that the developer must be very talented.  Anybody that talented must be HOT as HELL also.  I can't believe how lucky you guys are!!!  :dry:

 

However I had a hard time navigating the forums.  Whoever put that number forum business together must have been sick on a boat in Thailand and trying to find something to do.  That person could have done better although after thinking about it more I am not sure how.  There may have been some quiet brilliance there but in general you are probable better off without that loser though.   :angry:  :whip:
