Need to recheck flights to Palm Beach, but hopefully we can find something that works. It is possible to take trirail from Fort Lauderdale up to Palm Beach then short cab. If it works out, I would pick you up but probably wont have time since I have class going on but may be able to arrange that for you. I want to make this special so may have a buddy able to pick you up.
A few questions:
(1) Are all the dives in the recreational range (say max 100')? Yes, the dive for Hole in the Wall is a little deeper but it is a great reef dive that you can stay above 100' Entrance to Hole in Wall is 110' and dumps out at 130-140fsw. That is only deeper option but dive groups will stay on top while some go through the "cave" then meet back up on top of reef
(2) Any estimates for charter costs? $50-60 I believe with tanks and weights, waiting for confirmation
(3) Cylinder rentals and gas fills (32%)? Included in charter or will take care of logistics for you
(4) Any plans for a night dive on Fri (I think this had been mentioned earlier)? Probably
(5) Any plans in place for those wanting to arrive a day early and dive on Friday as well? Yes. Dan Volker from South Florida Dive Journal will guide and arrange the dives, some other out of town divers are definately doing this as I have spoke to them already.
(6) Is a rental car going to be needed? Seemed like we could get away without in Ft Lauderdale, but I've no idea about PB. You could probably get away without one, especially if you fly into Palm Beach as all activities are at the hotel and boat is like 2 minutes away so you can hop ride with someone for sure. Maybe we will even have a van shuttle for everyone or whatever.
Thanks!
