The "Official" 7 Days in Paradise Dive Vactati
« on: March 29, 2006, 11:51:00 PM »
Well, it looks like we are a go for a Dive Trip
 
 (Marty, Dave, Warren, Mike, are you listening???)
 
 Johnnycastaway and I will be your dive hosts for the trip.  All we know for sure (sort of) is that we will be leaving on the weekend of May 20...
 
 The actual destination, is yet to be determined, but if there are other divers interested, we could work out a group package with whomever we go with.
 
 So, Who wants some great warm water diving?

What a great idea.
 
 I would be really interested, for me it depends on getting the time off from work which will be my main hurdle but May is usually O.K.
 
 If we could get some more details together then its a 'definately maybe', work depending !
 
 Any ideas on location ?

That's Great!
 
 The current "working idea" is to go to Cozumel Mexico and I was just checking and First Choice is flying direct, Manchester to Cozumel, starting May 5.

Not sure what deals there are from England but right now Air Canada Vacations has a one week deal to the Allegro cozumel on May 20th for $604 plus tax.
 
 that's a steal!!

Hola Buceadores,
 I'll be in Varadero starting May 28. Who can make it that week??  I see there are quite a few dive shops in Varadero -- can anyone tell me which is the best??

Kewl!!
 
 just having a chat with one of my employees who was there a few weeks ago, he says that if you book dives through the tour rep (he went with sunwing), they put you onto a different dive organization, off resort   :confused:   called "Dive with Martin".  he didn't have as a good a dive with them as his wife did with with the dive shop that is on the resort.  So remember, don't book through the tour operator, go down to the dive shop directly and book.
 
 he's going to get me the pricing and contact information for them.  I'll keep you more info as I can get it.

You may have company in the form of Wossa and myself.
 
 We can fly from Manchester for 2 weeks arriving May 17th at a price of £669.10 per person, sharing a room.
 
 That is nearly £100 cheaper than I can fly back to the PCV on the same date, where for some reason My Travel are not adding on a single supplement.
 
 The ball is now in Wossa's court to sort out whether he can get the time off work.     Hopefully he'll find out in the next day or so.
 
 It's either Iberostar Cozumel with Wossa on May 17th or back to the PCV (for the third time in 8 weeks) - I'm hoping it's the Cozumel as it will make a nice change and I'll be having a Bailey's challenge with flopnfly (and maybe even Mojitomiss!!!!!!).
