Let's go diving! 2023 - 2024 Trips |
|

January 2023 Happy New Year! We finished 2022 strong, with trips at Thanksgiving to The Revillagigedo Archipelago (Soccoro) and over Christmas and New Year to Cuba. Both trips had no Covid related surprises, though I'm still hearing about folks dropping trips last minute due to a positive Covid test or a bout with the flu. Tis the season, so if you are traveling for diving or non-diving, make sure you self test and monitor your health before traveling, then you and only you will have your travel disrupted. For 2023 and beyond we're no longer working through backlog of rescheduled trips from 2020-2021, so it feels very fresh and new. We're traveling to Bonaire in April 2023, Egypt October 2023, and Raja Ampat in March of 2024. All three are available for conditional booking by using the waitlist registration feature. In the case of Bonaire we can take one more person, sharing with a female not presently assigned a roommate, and perhaps we can take a couple as well. Check with me if you are interested. For Egypt we have a few cabins still available, and can accommodate shares or couples. Raja Ampat is sold out, but a wait list is available. |

Egypt and the Red Sea
Egypt October 5, 2023
We're open for conditional registration, using the waitlist feature (we'll hold your spot and invoice you in a couple days, when we're sure we can match you with a cabin.) We'll have a week aboard the fantastic Emperor Elite and a week and half Nile Cruise and Tour hitting the hottest spots in Egypt - temples, tombs, pyramids, sphynx, museums and a very unique Nile river cruise. Diving highlights:
- The top 3 sites in the southern Red Sea: Brothers, Daedalus Reef and Elphinstone
- Sheer walls draped in colorful soft corals and gorgonian forests.
- Wrecks of Aida II and Numidia richly covered with soft and hard corals.
- Strong currents bring a diverse range of marine life such as tuna, barracuda, jacks and reef sharks. Occasional hammerheads, silky and oceanic white tips, dolphins and mantas.

Diving For Life DFL is back and stronger than ever! After a couple years off for Covid DFL resumed in Oct 2022 with a hugely successful trip to Fiji. 2023 will feature a Club Med stay at Turks & Caicos, with great diving and wonderful amenities for divers and non-diving partners. If you'd like to join the trip, go to divingforlife.org to enquire about availability. It isn't too late to join this amazing annual fundraiser, dive trip, and party all rolled into one big jamboree. |

Raja Ampat is open for wait list registration (we'll hold your place in line and invoice you if a spot becomes available.)

For those not able to get on our Raja Ampat trip for March 2024 we're thinking of offering a couple weeks of resort based diving in April of 2024. Philippines 2024 for details and to RSVP.
