*URGENT* turtle dig season

[rick00001967]

hi all. we are trying to finalize details today for a trip to coz. i have done the turtle dig on the island a couple of times but the wife has never been able to. we are planning this trip specifically so she can do it this time.

unfortunately we cannot get to the island as soon as we would like. probably not until nov 9 or so. i have read that the digs are usually over by then but sometimes go til about the 15th.

can anyone confirm when the latest dates would be to "guarantee" to be able to do the dig ? i know turtles dont exactly follow our schedules haha but if anyone has experience with this pls let me know. i would hate to plan this whole trip and find out when we get there that we are just too late.

thx very much for any quick help you can offer

Normally they end on the 15th of Nov. I spoke with Pantera early last month and the Green's nest counts were abnormaly low but earlier this week I heard they have picked up closer to normal. If you can contact Jeanie at dive@trespelicanos.com she can probably give you the best answer to your question. Jeanie teaches the class over at the conservation site on Tuesdays and Fridays.

I will be on the island during that period and my wife will probably come down on that trip as she loves going over and doing turtle rescue.

I usually start one, then after a couple weeks, someone else takes over the "updates" .... works for me

He's talking about "roll call" threads, I believe. Somehow his post got into the wrong thread.
