Get your AOW, or a specialty course for just $75. Just need to let us know, so we have the books you’ll need when we arrive. **Nitrox! The resort only has 40 enriched air tanks available to us. So I am thinking we will each use enriched air for our first dive of the day, and then air for the remaining two. Looking at the dive site profiles, I think we can make this work for us, and still get in nice long dives. A lot of this is wall diving so we will get plenty of bottom time. We just have to face it that enriched air just isn’t as easy to come by as here at home. Everyone will pay for any enriched air fee at the end of the week. It will be $5 per tank just so you know. So price listed is for only our air tank use. Reservations/Payments A $250 deposit is required for everyone wanting to save space on the trip. There is limited boat space available, and once we reach our limit of divers, reservations will no longer be excepted, we will however put you on a waiting list, and if there are any cancellations, or somebody can‘t go last minute you maybe able to purchase their spot. There is a $25 non-refundable deposit for cancellation of your reservation at anytime. Cancellation within 45 days of our planned arrival, there is no refund. However, we have always tried to help fill those spaces with divers on the waiting list, but everyone should purchase some sort of travel insurance, in the event of an emergency. Resort Information: I tell you the more I look at the resort and talk to the people there, this may very well be the best place we’ve ever visited. The resort is pristine, with a private beach, and it is secluded on the quiet side of the island nested up against the rainforest. We’ll have complete control of the resort, beaches, activities everything. I encourage you to go on their face book page, they have a great photo gallery, and I think you’ll really fall in love with this place. Bright white sandy beach, hammocks, beach chairs and umbrellas with drink service available right on the beach. There is a sand volleyball net, kayaks, beautiful pool and scenery. I am actually very proud of this pick! The price is awesome, we get six more dives then last year, all of our meals, and for those of you that want, you can add an unlimited alcohol to your package. I want to plan some on beach activities, a volleyball tournament, hermit crab races, kayak and paddle board races…and yes, Ocean Quest will be providing some prizes! This will be another great Ocean Quest Adventure. The activities on the island include zip lining, and a nature preserve, we can also shuttle into town one night for some dancing! I will have excursion prices soon and will pass those on also, so you can plan your budget. I am researching the medical facility, chamber, security and all my normal activities prior to our trip. This resort has nothing but outstanding reviews, and I think we will be very happy. The dive operation has agreed to dive “Sandy” style, and we’ll have plenty of underwater time to enjoy our dives, take photo’s and make new memories. The list for this trip is already long, so you need to shoot me an email, get your name on the list, and get your deposit into us by Feb 15th. Once your deposit is paid your space is official reserved. www.turquoisebayresort.com I know it seems like a long way away, but we all know how fast time flies. Pay your deposit asap to ensure your space. Second payment due 6/1 and final payment due 8/1. This is a great price...and you can fly right into Roatan, you don't have to go through mainland Honduras. |
