Add a drawbridge/zipline/catapult??? across the canal. So if you are diving RR and OD the same day it is quick to get from one to the other. Also the RR folks can quickly hop over to get fish tacos for lunch. Said only slightly in jest.I have dove OD and the old Horizon on the same day more than once and the connection was not always convenient.
More seriously it would be nice if dive packages can be split between the two locations.
Steve, We are looking into an underwater tunnel made from acrylic so that you can watch the fish swim by as you make your way between the 2 locations.. Haha. Obviously, saying that in jest, but it certainly would be cool, we'd probably try it if I actually thought we could get the permit from Monroe County..
As for being able to use a package at both locations, you absolutely can do that, we will be running all the same computer, and reservations systems, so effectively it doesn't matter which side of the canal you are on, we get you onto the trips you want to be on. That being said, we won't intentionally schedule you on the same day, in the morning on one side of the canal, and in the PM on the other side of the canal. So then that being said, it will be possible to go between the sides of the canal, but we will inform you that you'll need to do it based on the locations or trip you are choosing, make sure you are ok with it, and then everyone is on the same page. We are going to try to schedule the boats compatible so that you won't need to move from one side to the other most of the time, however if you just choose to dive the Spiegel Grove in the AM, and that trip happens to be on the OD side, and then you wanted to dive the Christ Statue in the PM, and that happened to be on the RRDC side, we don't mind if you do that, but we'd make sure you know where you need to be, and that would actually be the customer electing to do it, because on the OD side, for example, they didn't want to be on any of the 3 trips/locations that PM, and prefered a trip or location on the RRDC side. Does that make sense? If I lost you or explained the intention unclearly, then, basically we will schedule everything we can so no one has to move sides, unless they want to.
As a side note to any OD customers who hold trip cards, tank fill cards, gift certificates or whatever, we will honor any and all of those going forward, so that will be able to use them. We have our own loyalty programs so we may switch you over to them after that, but anything you have OD will work until it's done or expired as it normally would have been.
