Ok... decided better to start fresh with a new thread, rather than bump up an old one... with 4 pages of stuff to wade through...
So here goes...
The Cypress Sea (Frank -owner) gave us some pretty awesome pricing. They are setting this up as an Open boat for us. If only 6 - 8 people sign up, we stay in the bay. More than 9 people, it becomes a south carmel intermediate to advanced dive sites trip. The trip is listed as costing $95. It will include 3 dives, all AIR fills, and real food, water, and hot beverages between each dive. Nitrox IS avaiable for additional charges...that you pay on the boat at the end of the dive day.
Here's the cool part: If we have 6 or more people say they are part of the ScubaBoard group, the price will only be $85. GO.... :sblogo:
Cypress Sea CAN hold up to 20 divers...but we only need 9 divers to be a go. So, this is the plan.
If conditions are bad, obviously we won't make it to Lobos Rocks. However, Frank says if the divers are COLD WATER experienced (and I don't mean just got the advanced cert) and currents are running, but the divers on board are up to the challenge, we can do live boat drops. I've done about 20 live boat drops at the Oil Rigs (E's off Huntington Beach), and on drift dives in Thailand, so I am comfy with the idea...but If you're not, don't do the dive...duh! If not, we do some easier type dives... It is all up to the divers on board, we, as a group, make the decisions.
....Let's make this a rockin' boat!!! I have been arranging dive boats for the clubs I belong to down is SoCal for years. I will do my absolute best to bring great weather... from So Cal with me!
So bottom Line:
Sat. Feb. 3rd, 2007....Cypress Sea Dive Boat... 3 dives in south Carmel, garrapate areas, with main dive attempt to be Lobos Rocks....air fills included...food and soft drinks included...Nitrox available forr extra $$$...most importantly...diving with a bonafide SB group of funsters...for only $85!!!!!! Does it get better than this?
Call Frank at Any Water Sports, to reserve your spot on the Cypress Sea for Feb. 3rd. Just tell him you are with Laurel and ScubaBoard, so he knows to give you the discount. He says he'll be using your credit cards to hold the spot, but won't charge you until the dive day, so we can get the best price possible.
So, $95 is the normal price (and is what is listed on their website: http://www.cypresscharters.com/) . That is for 3 dives, includes Air fills, beverages, and food (inlcuding snacks and lunch). Nitrox is available for an additional $10 a fill.
Any Water Sports phone number is: 408-244-4433. I am so excited!!!! Be sure to tell your friends and get them to join us! Remember, this is a Carmel/Big Sur trip. Read the page on their website about "types of trips" and how seasoned a diver you should be, m'kay?
Wooooo Whoooooo!!!!!!!!!:bandsmlz: :wave-smil :multi: :multi: :multi:
