Shark
Tooth Diving 2010 Trip One - Memorial Day Weekend,
May 28-31, Venice, FL
Pam is running more of her very popular shark tooth
diving trips off of Venice, This first trip is 3 days of
diving over Memorial Day Weekend. These trips are being made
with Florida West
Scuba.
The trip is currently full, so if you're not booked you'll
have to hope someone bows out. If you haven't seen the kind
of artifacts Pam's dives produce, you're
in for a treat! Here's an example picture from Florida
Web Scuba's web site. Some
of the teeth really ARE this big!
Florida West Scuba is located
at 509B Tamiami Trail, North Venice, FL. Their phone is
941-486-1400.
The Scubanauts
have the whole boat. The trip includes
expert
tips from
retired Archeologist (and Captain) Steve Thacker. (You WILL
find something to take home). The hotel rooms are booked
starting Friday night. Since Monday is Memorial Day, we're
diving Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
Trip accommodations are at Best Western Ambassador Suites
at 400
Commercial Court just outside of Venice, FL. This
is right behind the Holiday Inn Express where we stayed last
year. The room includes pool, cable, refrigerator, microwave,
and coffee makers in suite and also comes with a complimentary
breakfast. We have a late checkout at 1:00pm.
Contact Pam Kurtz
or one of your officers for more information |
Pompano,
Florida Dive Weekend Trip - July 3-4, 2010
We'll be diving Pompano, Florida 4th of July weekend. The trip
can be tailored by those who only want to do part of the dives,
so here is the scoop for each piece.
There will be two hotel options:
- Best Western Deerfield
Beach at 1050
E Newport Center Dr Deerfield Beach, FL, 33442. Cost is $88.85
Double occupancy/night. This hotel is newer than The Sands
Harbor, but is approximately 5 miles from the
boat docks and west of the imtercoastal. It also does have
a more friendly cancelation policy than The Sands.
- Sands Harbor Hotel and Marina at
125 N Riverside Dr Pompano Beach, F,. 33062. Cost is $80.00
Double occupancy/night. The advantage to using this location
is that it is very close
to either docks that South Florida Diving uses as well as
being walking distance
to the beach
for Fire Works. The hotel management is not giving us a
ton of flexibility. So the best package we've negotiated
only allows us to cancel a week from out
first night stay. The hotel is aging which is another disadvantage
of this location.
The schedule will be:
- Friday PM · Arrive and check
in.
- Saturday AM South
Florida Diving (www.southfloridadiving.com) · 8AM
2 tank Dive ($55.00). One wreck dive; one drift dive.
- Saturday PM · 1PM 2 tank
Dive ($55.00) One wreck dive; one drift dive.
- Saturday Night · 6PM
2 tank Dive ($55.00) One wreck dive; one drift dive.
- Sunday AM · 8AM 2 tank
Dive ($55.00) One wreck dive; one drift dive.
- Sunday afternoon · Return
to Jacksonville
Rental tanks will be available at $8.00/per tank for air or $12.00/per
tank for Nitrox or you can bring your own.
