[dhammer]

Hi guys,
I'd love to come on some of these dives, but i am still a novice. (12 dives) Plus, i am only 13.
Could i tag along on some of these dives?

(once they are all planned out and such)

thanks,
josh

It would probably be good to have some kind of written permission from one of your parents.

Can anyone recommend a good seafood restaurant for the group on Fri night and a good breakfast place for Sun morning?

Hi, I'm planning to join you at the M&G next weekend. I'd like to confirm the dive site plans.

Saturday 9am: North Monastery, in the water by 10am
Saturday PM: Coral Street
Saturday Night Dive: Location TBD
Dinner: Gianni's @ 6PM
Sunday AM: Location TBD

Interestingly, I called to book a room at the Travel Lodge that Ann Marie reserved a block of rooms at and the front desk said that they had all been canceled. Does anyone know why?

Welcome back Greg! That's the plan. I'm not sure about the rooms at the Travelodge but I know the M&G is still on. I'll be on the boat Sat, so I'll see you at dinner.

I just called to verify my reservation and it was still good. Maybe at this late date they are either full or do not have that rate available.

I'll call TravelLodge right now. It is possible that they released the remaining rooms so that others (outside ScubaBoard) could book them.

I was going to call and see if I could get reservations for around 8pm. Anyone interested?

Just called Travelodge. They still have our rooms open for SCUBABOARD. Did you call the right one?

Check this thread for number and instructions.

They will cancel any remaining rooms on Wednesday if no one books them. All reserved rooms are safe.
