I just signed up for both parts of this trip.  I have been thinking about that amazing grouper and shark interaction that Brad got to enjoy a couple of years ago, and I have been wanting to get back there ever since.  I am so looking forward to the amazing Florida diving again.  I am also excited to give the Black water dive a try.  I have seen so many amazing pictured from those dives, and never knew that the best spot in the world for that kind of diving is right here in Florida.  Please also put me down for a hotel room for Aug 31, on the off day between the two trips.  Thanks.  Ed

Hi Kamala. I need to pay for my add on room for August 31st d/o and cant find where to do so. Sorry but I am confused. Thank you

If you haven't already notified that you need extra night(s) then email trips@singledivers.com (it appears you already did that since I see "(requested awaiting reservation confirmation)" next to your name).  So if you got the confirmation do this next:

To pay for any extras or add-ons log in to the main site at https://www.singledivers.com

Click on the booking link for this trip.

Scroll down to the add-ons and click the Add to Cart button

Go to your cart and pay for it.

If you have a +1 repeat this process using that +1 userid.

Teresa wants to join the group doing BHB Saturday evening (27th). As she is diving nitrox that week, she will need a nitrox tank for that dive. We have just added and paid for the dive and tank via her trip add-ons. Any questions, let me know; thanks.

Teresa's BHB dive 27 Aug nd extra Ntrox rental have been added to the Add Ons section for Week One Goliaths!

I am going through the extras, and the only thing to add for me is that I will be bringing my own tanks.  Thank you.  See you in a few weeks.
