Hi everyone I recently had a trip booked on a liveaboard in Pensacola, Florida but captain canceled due to health reasons. My airline tickets are non refundable & besides I do not want to miss this trip. Im leaving on February 25th & returning March 3rd. Diving will start on the Monday the 26th & end on Friday the 2nd. Details are as follows:

Location: Pensacola, Florida
Dive Days: 5
Accomidations: Suburban Resort (1 mile from Charter Boat)
2 Bedroom at a rate of $225.00 (Plus tax) Per Person for 6 Days. The Rate is $75.00 Per night.
Oriskany Charter rate is $145.00 Per Person (Per Charter) on BMT Dive Charter Boat on the 27th & 28th. As for the 26th, 1st, & 2nd we can dive Oriskany all week or we can do a different charter operation all together. I've contacted BMT, Might O, & Dive Pro's which are all within a mile radius of each other. Dive Pro's has opening for these dates with a minimum of 4 Divers to go out. We can dive Oriskany all week or we can dive Oriskany 3 days & dive 2 on different wrecks. Fee's range from inland: 0-14 miles at a rate of $80.00 or offshore at a rate of $145.00.

I will share rental car with any buddy that is interested in the trip at a cost provided by me. So all fee's without Tax, Airfare, Food, & Tips would be approximately $835.00 based on Diving Oriskany 3 Days with 2 on different inland wrecks. If we decided to Dive Oriskany all 5 Days then add another $125.00.

Expedia has round trip tickets around $250.00 on several different airlines. Im arriving on Sunday at 3:00pm. Anybody needing any extra equipement like a regulator, mask, snorkler lol, or a dive computer I can provide as well.

All monies will be paid directly to charter boat & Resort accommodations by you. Im very excited about this trip & hope there is some folks here that are interested.

If we can get a group of 6 together we can rent the Charter Boat for the entire week.

God Bless !!!

Update 1 Buddy Interested ( 100% Going )

If I can get 2 other Divers to go I will book the Charter Boat & provide everyone with payment details to Lodge & Dive Shop ( Owner of Boat ).

Thanks All & God Bless !!!

Good luck finding your dive buddies. I'm in my extended range training right now, otherwise I would definitely be in. The Oriskany is what all my training is geared toward. I know you can reach the site in relatively shallow water, but if I dive it, I want to hit the sand. Fill us in on the trip when you return. Good luck & happy diving.
