It sounds fun, but got a Bonaire trip planned in August, so I will have no $$$.

[maggs_the]

would LOVE to go (back) to the Flower Gardens with ST.. how fun would that be???

but, alas, we will be in stupid old Curacao

I recieved a PM from Bill today saying he was 100% a go on the trip! Illini_Fan (Tom) I believe is about 90% but I am sure he will go for it....

bvrsteegh (Bruce) sounds like he wants to add some Whale Shark photos to his collection as well, we will see.

If anyone is interested PM me for details.

I am also 100%, just haven't actually booked it yet, but I'm going.

[DevilDiver]

Cool!! Looks like we have a dive trip going now!

This will be right after the 1 year anniversary for the forum as well. Perfect timing for a bunch of the members to hook up for some great diving.

I am about 90% sure - and maybe my best friend from high school and his wife

I noticed on their website that they have added a 50.00 fuel surcharge. Do you know if that is just for the Florida trips or does it include the FG trips also?

I saw that as well. My understanding from talking to devil diver is that the charge applies to all trips. I don't like it, but i certainly understand it.

The fuel surcharge will cover all 08 trips unless fuel cost drops. I don't like it but totally understand. I attached the email that was sent out to explain...

Fuel prices in Key West were $3.79 on the 10th of May, $4.25 last week, and $4.45 today. Sorry, guys, I held off the fuel surcharge as long as I could, but I want to be here next year too. There will be a $50 fuel surcharge assessed upon boarding cash or check only please. This pains me as much as you.
If fuel reaches $5.00 per gallon, we will revisit the amount of the fuel surcharge.
Thanks for your understanding.
