I've got a few open spots left for a 3-day week-end at Porpoise Bay Charters in Sechelt for the March 31 to April 02. If anyone's interested in joining the trip, send me a PM.
This will be a 3-day week-end … leaving early Friday morning to get up there. We'll be doing one dive Friday afternoon, three dives on Saturday, and two dives on Sunday morning. We'll be wrapping up our diving about 1 PM Sunday and making a mad dash for the 2:30 PM ferry out of Langdale. Assuming we make it (we all did last trip) that will put you home early evening on Sunday.
Cost of the trip to you will depend on the exchange rate that week-end … it's $325 Canadian plus 7% GST. I'll need a $100 deposit to hold your spot, then in mid-March I'll do a "best guess" to collect the balance, and during the trip I'll sit down with Kal and figure out the exact rate for the week-end based on the exchange rate at the time. You will either owe a bit more or get a bit back, depending on how the exchange rate fluctuated. I do it this way because Kal gives an extra 5% discount if we pay in cash or check … and I pass that back to you. FWIW – at today's exchange rate that's $287.17 USD.
The trip includes six dives, lodging, and five meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner on Saturday … breakfast & lunch on Sunday). We are responsible for our own dinner on Friday evening … this last trip we just went to the restaurant next door. You'll need cylinders for three dives on Saturday (we're out, basically, all day on the boat). Kal does fills in the evening, and nitrox is available for $10 Canadian per cylinder.
You will need at least an AOW certification, since we will be diving the Chaudierre (deep dive), Tzoonie Narrows (drift dive), and our Friday afternoon dive most likely won't end until after dark.
