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.
