Just Let Them Know You Are With ScubaBoard​

 

[The Chairman]

This should go without saying, but I don't think you can find a deal this great anywhere. We are one of the largest dive clubs (shops?) in the world, so @cardzard and @ROXANNE can be brutal in getting the best price for us. Then he makes them handle all the money, so you know that there's no mark-up from ScubaBoard. You're getting a better than wholesale rate and get to dive with some pretty awesome divers who will mentor you. I'll be turning 67 on the trip, so think of it as a grand ol' birthday bash!

Let the shenanigans commence!
