Successful dive shops are always on the lookout to learn and add to their skills.  The exclusive Dive Travel Business Course, offered by Fly & Sea Dive Adventures on all their fam trips, offers such an opportunity for continued education.
“Our fam trips with the interactive dive travel business course are just one way we support dive shops in their dive travel program”, says owner Petra Hermes. “We are committed to helping dive shops develop and improve their dive travel program, be it for their groups or for their individual customers”.
The 2014 program includes:
Trip 1: Fiji: April 24-May 4. Visit Kadavu and Toberua Islands. Only $899 + $229 tax from LAX includes airfare, accommodation, meals and diving.
Trip #2: Sulawesi, Indonesia: October 4-11.  Visit the world famous reefs of Bunaken Marine Park, and the best critter diving in the world at Lembeh Straits. Only $799 plus your international flight. Includes accommodation, meals and diving.
