“The trip of a lifetime, every time we go!”
Hey Divers!
The time has come! “The trip of a lifetime, every time we go!”. We will be on board Blackbeards Dive Cruises for January 8-14th 2022, and from the 15th-21st 2022 – That’s two weeks, and you can pick one or the other for joining us! Now that we have the second week, that means there is room on either of the two weeks! Feel free to reach out to me if you want to know which one has your friend/family on it 🙂 Those are the days on the boat itself, add a couple of days for travel. If you have never been with us, just ask those that have, this is an amazing experience, and if you’ve never done international SCUBA travel, this is one of the best and most affordable trips to do! I absolutely love these trips, this will be year 9, and I can’t wait already.
Let’s get you the nitty gritty right off the bat:
The price of the trip is 1045 for the week aboard the sailboat – covers all food and dives (not rental gear if needed)
Then there are 145 in fee’s- port taxes and Bahamian park conservation fee’s.
That puts you at 1190 for a week of paradise and dives in 75-80 degree water, crystal clear, with relaxation and fun and warmth!
Other costs, but that don’t go to me:
Flight- usually around 600 for most people, but not uncommon for people to get it around 500 if they shop smart.
Tip for the crew- 150 is a good starting point, and trust me, the crew rocks!
Costs for hotel and food if you extend your trip to spend some time on the island before or after the week on the boat. I usually stay an extra day and it adds about another 100 to my trip, but I like checking out the local scene/hotspots.
A shark dive, night dives, air fills for the whole week of sailing around the Bahama’s and diving in gin clear waters that are as warm as a heated pool! We are expected to bring our own gear aside from tanks and weights, though they rent gear if you need it. There’s a questions page all about our particular trip at the bottom of this page with all sorts of information about the trip, the diving- everything you’d want to know!
So here’s where the rubber meets the road- this trip sells out every year, and I know this year will be the same. I’m a first come first served kind of guy. Saying you’re interested is good, but your spot yours only once you’ve gotten your initial 250 dollar non refundable deposit in. The payment schedule is very approachable, and you can pay ahead of time, in full, as long as you’ve paid these amounts by these milestones:
250 holds your spot/non-refundable deposit
01-01-2021= 250 more
04-01-2021= 250
07-01-2021= 250
09-01-2021= 190
Payments can be with the CashApp ($jimmynemo2), Venmo (@Jimmynemo42), or actual cash.
If you’re interested, please call/email/text/facebook- whatever form of communication you like! I can’t wait to do this trip with you!
Non-Diving friends and family are totally welcome, but do know that non-divers pay the same rate as divers, and the boat is really a dive boat, not a luxury yacht. So if you’re not into diving, it’s unlikely to be their cup of tea, though anyone’s welcome if they want to come! Feel free to call and ask any questions about the boat, the plan, the costs, or the diving!
