Good morning, afternoon, evening to everyone.
Well all it is getting so much closer now to the Dive Party 2012 at Key Largo and BHB, October 18th thru the 24th it is only 4 weeks away. : )
I just talked to Ocean Divers and I need to start to get everyones names that are planning on going on the Dive Charter with us on October 22, 2012. We will be meeting at Ocean Divers at 12:30 pm and Sailing at 1:00 pm We will be going to The Christ of Abysee and North Dry Rock Reef. I would appreciate if you are planning on going on the dive charter to let me know with your name by October 12, 2012. This way I can give Ocean Divers an accurate count. The prices are further down on this post. The more divers we get on the dive charter the cheaper it will be for all. I would love to see us fill the boat.
I know I am so excited to be coming back down to Florida once again.
Also Reminders about the Dive Party itself at Blue Heron Bridge on October 20, 2012. We will be diving around 12:30 pm and the party afterwards. We will be needing all kinds of things for the party. Like plates, cups, drinks. plastic silverware. and of course some kind of food covered dishes to pass around. ( yes I did put food in there for a funny.) Anyway, If we are planning on hotdogs and/or hamburgers we will need the rolls and catchup and mustard for that and cooking utensils. Oh cannot forget to find someone to cook them too. lol So please if you would let me know what you are planning on bringing for that, so I can keep a record of what we will have and what we might need.
Thank you. Also reminders that there is No alcoholic beverages aloud in the park.
Force E at 155 East Blue Heron Boulevard, Riviera Beach, Florida, (561) 845-2333 or toll free (866) 845-2333. It is real close to BHB. For any rentals and filling of scuba tanks. I talked with the owner today and they are donating a door prize to us to be given out at the dive party.
Also when we go to Lauderdale by the Sea they have a center there at 1312 North Federal Highway, Pompano Beach, Fl. (954) 943-3489 or toll free (866) 943-3489. They are really a good shop and they have everything you would need for your diving needs.
To let everyone know as well. Weekends especially can be very hard to find parking spaces. So I highly recommend coming a lot earlier to find a space to park.
See above posts for the link to the BHB Troll Tee Shirts. They have long sleeves, short sleeves and a nice range of colors. Thank you DMDavid from Scuba Board.
Here is the itinerary for the Dive Party week:
As you all know we are going to be going on a Dive Charter with Ocean Divers. I need to start getting a count on who all is going to go with us. I am hoping we are able to get a full boat. I talked to Ocean Divers again today and they gave me the rates for the dives. They are as follows: 9 to 16 people it is $70, 17 to 24 is $65, and 25+ is $60. I have to let them know how many people we are going to have two weeks before we would sail. I have to have the down payment to them to reserve the boat. As of right now we are the only ones that will be on the boat.
The itinerary is staying the same.
the 18th - Arriving and doing some site seeing.
19th - Relaxation Day and go to Harry Harris Outlet. Dinner, watching the gorgeous sunset and music.
20th is Dive/party at Blue Heron Bridge, West Palm, FL , We are able to dive at 12:30pm and We will have the picnic afterwards.
21st Beach and site seeing in Key Largo.
22nd Dive Charter.... The Christ of Abyss and North Dry Rock Reef. This is a 4 to 4.5 hour charter. We meet at Ocean Divers at 12:30 pm and sail at 1pm.
23rd Lauderdale by the Sea. ..... 2 dives.
24th Swim with the dolphins.
I am so much looking forward to seeing everyone for a wonderful week of diving, site seeing and spending the time with other Scuba Board Members.
Seeing friends and making new ones.
Ok all I will keep trying to update more frequently now with the time getting much closer. Please reminder let me know if you are planning on the dive charter as well as BHB.
God Bless You All
Have a wonderful and safe day.
