Official Vortoberfest Offshore Dives 10/10

[LIVES4SHARKS]

So far they have quoted me the $80.50 per diver. Send me a PM Krak on how I should go about getting a better price. I never had the pleasure of booking so many divers before.

Call down there under a pseudonym and ask how much it costs to charter the boat for a day for 2 off shore dives. They should quote a flat rate.

At that point you have some bargaining leverage if the cost per diver exceeds a prorated individual diver rate.

WOW ...having the one an only Mr. Scubaboard.. Netdoc on board is just fantastic. I think Carolyn really deserves kudos and great big thanks from all of us for all the work she does every year on getting this gig up and running.

I called and inquired about privately chartering the boat for two offshore dives and they didn't want to give me a flat rate. Possibly someone more persuasive and experienced could nail them down if necessary. The price they quoted me was $89ea for 2 tank offshore and $109 for a 3 tank. Looks like Carolyn shaved a good amount off the price I was quoted. Good job!

Thanks y'all. I am very excited to have such a big group this year! It's definitely going to be a fun dive! So far the marine forecast is calling for waves about 2-3'. Chance of rain...but we can hold out for a good weekend!

If anyone's prone to sea sickness I'll offer this advice: Take preventative measures BEFORE stepping foot on the boat. It seems to make a difference.

That said, I'll take 2-3s any day of the week as long as it doesn't rain. I don't want my hair getting wet before a dive

I already bought a box of ginger root pills. My last trip out with 5' swells was not vety kind to me.

Tips on best sea sickness aids / pills? I've been in 5 foot rollers before and was starting to get a little green but fortunately focused on the horizon and it cleared up.. Would rather be safe than sorry..

Stay on deck, watch the horizon, no heavy, greasy or acidic foods the night/morning before.

Get in the water as quick as possible.
