    Dive Trip end of April

    I am taking a dive trip the end of April down in Lantana, Fl. Its going to be the weekend of 26 and 27th. Sat we will be diving with a dive boat and sunday we can go somewhere else for collecting or go back on the boat. Anyone interested?

    Which dive boat company are you going with? Are you planning a wreck or reef dive, or both?

    Do they have a problem with collectors and their gear on their boat? Do they have space for a cooler or two?

    Im not sure how they would handle the collecting for tanks. Yes they have plenty of room for a cooler. The last time I dove with them, there were about 5 people with big camera's and they all had there own cooler for the camera.

    I have a flyer with there 2 dives were $50.00. I dont know the prices for this year but I would imagine $60 or $65.00 with the prices of fuel going up.

    We have a friend coming from out of state the very beginning of April and are going for a re-union / dive trip to Lauderdale By The Sea, but this one isn't going to be a big group trip....just oldest friend in te world type visit....I want to get back down around then for a collecting trip....

    Is that a BIG boat, or like a 6Pack or 8Pack?

    Starfish Enterprises is a great team to go diving with - very professional. Boats can seat plenty of people - I think the last one we were on had 12-15 divers.

    You can get all the info at their website or by calling.

I figured I didnt mind missing this meeting cause its a frag auction meeting and I dont any corals. Sorry I wont be at this meeting either.

    I dont know if your interested but im planning a dive trip the end of July in Puerto Rico. Were going there for 6 or 7 days and were looking at 3 or 4 of those days to be diving. Anyone on here is invited on that trip also.

    I would definently be interested, let me know the info when you find out about flight and hotel pricing... Me and Natalie would probably enjoy that.
