  • How to Book

Q. Why can't I seem to be able to book this trip? It won't let me log in and I have tried the recover password several times but it does not help?  4-11-23

A. You must be a premium member aka Premier or above to book our trips. The price is $35 a year of which you can file for a $25 member rebate after every trip you take with us or private travel booking you make. So your membership dues are only $10 after one trip and you are saving even more money with two or more!  SO....please verify your premium membership is current and if you are still having issues please email admin@singledivers.com for add'l help.  NOTE:  Click the #3 Topic for How to Upgrade your membership and other helpful info.

 
Q. When I click Add to Cart I get a message that says "Limit reached. You can't add the product: DOMINICA DIVING OR DIVING/WHALE COMBO Oct, 2023: D/O Diver  Limit reached. You can't add the product: Payment Option: Deposit"?  4-11-23

A. The Add to Cart button was press more than once.  It is already in your cart so press the cart button at the top and you can simply check out.  It does NOT mean you can't buy the item...you just can't buy 2 of them.

  • What's Included

     

    Q. What dive equipment is included in this package? I would assume rental equipment would be available for anything not included? And if so is there an option to pay for that in advance??  (4-11-23)

    A.The pkg price includes air tanks, lead and weight belts if you need them.  ALL other rental gear EXCEPT FOR A DIVE COMPUTER & PERSONAL GEAR i.e mask, snorkel, etc.  is available for rent. (Some places including Dominica will rent the personal gear such as mask, fins etc) You should plan to supply or buy your personal gear i.e. mask, fins, snorkel (if you use one) The resort will rent bcd, regulator, computer, and optional items such as a wetsuit. Only shorty wetsuits are available.

     

    NOTE: if you plan to do a night dive or just want to video, take pictures, look into nooks and crannies or simple see the TRUE COLOR of the REEF washed in its true brilliant colors!  But you are in luck... our uber cool Corporate Sponsor Big Blue Dive Lights is supplying a variety of dive lights and video lights you can USE FOR FREE to see how amazing they are.  Most people wait to pay for rental gear IF THERE IS A CHARGE at the resort for several reasons.... sometimes we get multiple corporate sponsors who will allow you to TRY BEFORE YOU BUY and so you get the use of something like a light or computer FOR FREE!!!   And sometimes other members on the trip are happy to loan extras which save ou money so we typically do not collect rental fees in advance

     

    Q. How do I find out what is included in this trip pkg?  4-11-23 

    A. Please click on the #1 Topic with the Trip Name in it and read that topic. It will tell you what is included and what is not. Sometimes when we open a trip we are missing some information so as it is available we will add it below in this TRIP FAQ as well as add it to the  #1TRIP DETAILS POST.   NOTE:  You can also click on the LINK BOX AT THE TOP OF THIS POST entitled TRIP DETAILS
