Organize a trip to Thailand that is cost effective and will allow cave diving (for those so certified) and I will become single (if that is a pre-req)
Yesterday I spent all day laying the groundwork for being able to invite others to a group dive trip so we have a sufficient number.
Last week I spoke with a large dive travel agency I had previously met with at a trade show and the magic # is 10 paid in full.
There are a handful of resorts awaiting me doing a review and doing some HD video productions of the resort and the diving.
Somewhere there was also a resort in Bonaire that wanted me out, but I hear Bonaire is all beach diving where you drag your equipment all over and I prefer to do resort diving with boats, as lugging around 70lbs of gear and a 40lb HD videocam system ranks right along with having a massive c02 hit on the rebreather or discovering posthumously there was carbon monoxide in the airfill.
As an option, if we did any of those resorts such as Davao, etc, I could do an HD video production where we are all in it, and it gets posted to about 41 video file sharing sites including YouTube, etc. and all attendees would get a CD.
The end of October/beginning of November we'll be in Florida to do an HD video production of Diving with the Manatees courtesy of Captain Mike of Sunshine River Tours and his ever lovely colleague Captain Doreen.
While in Florida we'll be covering the DEMA show and really putting our nose to the grinder with resorts and dive travel agencies and getting some fun trips together.
Thanks for all of the great work.
As far as Bonaire, there is boat as well as beach diving, but don't give up on the beach diving. We can just rent some Jeeps and drive them right to the water. SCUBA magazine rated Bonaire the top destination this year.
I also like the idea of something that is reasonably close to most of us. I know there are users all over the globe, but I believe most of us are in the U.S. or nearby (Lottie).
Hi everybody,
I operate a beautiful dive resort in Indonesia and everybody is more then welcome! Groups or individuals, no problem ;-)
The publisher is coming to my resort within the next couple of weeks, so expact to see a lot more info about diving around Bangka Island in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Hope to see all of you with the first ScubaMagazine group travel !
hi, i am new to thi but i'll try. i think the trip would be a blast. i would need to know more details before i could commit, but sounds like a great idea. i like the original version best since i didn't take up scuba till i got divorced, lol. but either way i'm sure it would be fun, keep me posted please.
I will guess we would have about a dozen separate people interested in going on a group trip so it become an issue of finding resorts that can accomodate that many individual rooms unless all you guys are ok sleeping with other men in the same bed.

I am sure your better 1/2 would empty your deco gas while you were submerged if she saw that.
Bama,and I will become single (if that is a pre-req)
Just to clear this up - I mentioned in an earlier post in response to Ace, that this should be open to all (not just us that are single)
