A member of this board, Dawn Barber of Cristal Clear Charters, has made the following very generous offer:

Quoted from another thread:

After the recent discussions regarding Cristal Clear Charters I realized there are quite a few misconceptions about the company I work for.

Cristal Clear Charters was officially established in 2003 to provide the best dive experience the Florida Keys has to offer. (Joe and I opened Dive In in 2002) To this point, Cristal Clear Charters has relied heavily on word of mouth advertising only.

What we offer: modern dive boats and equipment; great customer service; staff’s excellent knowledge of the area, professionalism and friendliness and naturally the key geographic areas our dive shops are located. We offer the best customer service in the Keys and cater to individual divers. Whoever first books the trip…calls the trip. We have currently have operations in Key Largo, Tavernier and Marathon, Florida.

Cristal Clear Charters dive fleet consists of six custom dive boats. The fleet consists of one 46’ Newton, Two 42’ Newton’s, Two 45’ Corinthian Catamarans, and a 30’ ProSport Catamaran. All dive vessels have been customized for our customer’s diving pleasures and equipped with the most current marine electronics. Amenities on board our vessels include, clean working marine heads, freshwater showers, drinking water, juice, coolers, ice, camera and mask rinse buckets, dive platforms and ladders, DAN Oxygen and DAN First Aid Kits.

Cristal Clear Charters will not be going anywhere, we will be in service for a long time to come, and we feel we have the nicest boats, best equipment, great locations and undeniably the best staff in the keys. To illustrate this we are offering a FREE DIVE TRIP to any scubaboard member that brings in this posting along with a copy of their Scubaboard profile page for verification. This is going to be valid from now until March 1, 2007 and from May 1st to June 1st, 2007. This offer is good for one dive trip per person per print out per scubaboard id. I encourage you to pass this to all your friends. All I ask is that in return the member posts their experience to the board since I am sure it will be positive.

Thanks (and please excuse the rambling) I really do love my staff.

Wow thats a great offer

 

[CBulla]

Ahhh, my dear, thank you for volunteering to head up the Winter pre-Invasion dive trip! I'm open to the last weekend of February!

 

[DawnBarber]

Of course, Cinco de Mayo looks good. The Key Largo location (at the Pilot House) has lots of room and so does Bayside Resort (our hotel). Jacklyn (my group sales coordinator) is looking into the dates and rates for different hotels and we should have some comparisons for you shortly.

[CBulla]

Okay, I can do the last weekend of February as well. That will be in addition to Cinco de Mayo for me.

Hilary, do you want to share a room with John and I in May?

I am going to phone Dawn this afternoon and work out some details.

Hook, sounds like a heck of a way to celebrate a birthday to me

*I will wait to get more responses before I break this thread in two (February people and May people).
