2007 TRIPS

Cozumel Trip   Trip Report!  Trip started out pretty good, right from the start.  Flying directly into Cozumel is a real plus.  When we arrived the hotel receptionist was waiting for us to get us in our rooms right away so we could get registered to dive.  Some divers got wet the same afternoon as we arrived. Great time, weather was a lot warmer than here.  Everyone enjoyed the sun, warm water for diving, (water temp back home below 40 degrees) vis was great, food was great, for some shopping was good,  the whole trip was just a good time. Even the shore diving was nice, so of us got up early and did a night dive first thing in the morning, then breakfast before going out on our morning boat dives. Joanna entered some pictures in their photo contest and took 2nd place go check it out. Scuba Club Winners   Everyone had a great time.... Check Joanna's page for more pictures...

Australia-We would like to go, but need to get a commit from you before we plan this trip. With airfare quotes we can't get confirmed pricing yet, but we are working on dive package & land package prices. I will post when we get more information or give us a call to let us know to keep you informed of details as I receive them.  Also check out our trip report below from our 1st trip to Australia. Please if you are interested in this trip contact us so we can get an idea how many are going, with a trip this size it takes a lot of preparation time.  If we don't get a approximate number on  how many interested persons we can't get actuate prices.

Our past trip! 2001 Australia "Our Best Trip Yet" This was the best of the best. Weather was beautiful, seas were calm, crew was exceptional, food was great and the boat was fabulous.  We did a week live aboard on the Elizabeth E ll and dove the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea. Seen sharks, turtles, rays, all different kinds of stars, and every fish imaginable.  Diving ranged from diving right off the boat to the corals bottoms, wall diving, night diving, we even were taken in the inflatable and dropped off and did a drift dive back to the boat.  We traveled over 550 miles thru the Great Barrier Reef into the Coral Sea.  Our last day of we dove the famous Yongula Wreck. We did 3 dives, seeing sharks, turtles and the wreck was completely intact. We could of dove 23 dives total in the week with visibility being 80 feet on the Great Barrier Reef to 150+ in the Coral Sea.  Are schedule was eat, dive, sleep, eat, dive, sleep. The week was fantastic, I will be posting more pictures of the trip including the land base package with details also of Denny's Great White Adventure! 

Our Land package was arranged by Agtour Australia we visited the outback, rain forests and Sydney.  It was a very rememberable trip. We seen everything from kangaroos, koala bears, lava tubes, rain forests, to the Harbor Bridge.  Many beautiful views. 

 Denny, Bill Allenbaugh, and Steve Logue did an adventure of their own while we did the land package. Check out these pictures!

Yes we plan on going again,  maybe you would like to join us.

After this experience when Denny met up with us in Sydney he informed me we will be booking another Australia Trip in 2008 and he said the Great White Encounter is a must. So if interested give us a call and we can keep you posted on details.
