Hello everyone and Welcome to the SD Wholesale Travel Network!

We are a wholesale travel service that leverages our group contracts for the benefit of our members. Our focus is to offer our members great dive and adventure travel deals which can save you a few bucks upwards of several hunded dollars depending on the destination, the package, and the number of people traveling. While we specialize in dive travel, we can set up any trip you want, be it diving in Belize, Disney with the kids, or walking the Great Wall of China. In order to save you money, we ask that you research your desired destination, check the pricing and availability for the dates you want or the timeframe you are interested in, and then let us beat the best pricing you've found.

We have contracts with most of the major liveaboards including Explorer Ventures, the Aggressor Fleet, Peter Hughes, Nautilus Explorer and more! Our contracts with land based operators such as our newest contract with Wakatobi encompass all our group trip operators as well as numerous resorts, dive boats and destinations all of which will cater to your vacation and travel needs. If you have a particular resort in mind, we'll still get you a better deal even if we aren't an existing reseller!

If the world is your diving destination and you can't decide where you want to dive, just tell us what part of the world you want to dive in, how many days you are planning to be gone, what you want to see, if you are supplying your own air via miles or would like us to research air for you and we'll put a custom package together for you. Ask us for our dive travel survey and it will guide you thru the selection process to help create a unique dive vacation and adventure.

Then tell us if you want to travel on your own, dive with a group of friends or family or find a dive buddy via SingleDivers.com. The choice is yours...the pleasure of serving you is ours.

As always, happy and safe diving!!

Hey, Fingrabber!

I recently won 2 tickets on Continental to anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere between Hawaii and the Bahamas. I want to go diving in Belize. Do you have a suggestion for hotel and dive company? I'd be paying for that and, being a teacher, need something safe but inexpensive...

So glad you brought this up! I wanna go to Belize too. It's on the SD trip list for 2006.

Kim - Is this trip going to happen? It's already pretty late for getting airfare.

Lee offered some information on different places to stay in Belize, in this thread:

By the way, I'll be happy to take that extra ticket off your hands!

Kamala and I talked about this today...we're looking at Belize for June and she, being at BTS this weekend, is planning to have it locked down when she gets back; so, we should have details for you next week!

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am interested in doing the Cayman Aggressor on the "back to school"
special early September. I live in Seattle and need air and Aggressor reservations. I am a married/buddyless diver and would appreciate anything you can do to help.

thank you,
Troy

Hi there,
I booked my trip (resort) directly with Fantasy Island Beach Resort and also booked my own airfare. My question is, "how do I purchase travel insurance?" Thanks.

Chris

There's a few companies suggested in THIS! area. I haven't used any myself, other folks feel it's needful. Since the insurance companies are in business to make money, I don't bother to insure anything I can afford to replace, and *I* assume the risk (and save money, on average). It's all professional gambling, whether it's called an 'extended warranty' or 'insurance'. If the odds are stacked in favor of the insurance company, there's no need to play. :P
