AVALON CLEANUP FEBRUARY 22 -
Just another reminder of this annual event that
helps clean the harbor and which benefits both
the Avalon Rotary and their "Beautify the
Underwater Park" campaign as well as benefitting
the Catalina Hyperbaric Chamber. And if you
don't want to dive, they're still looking for
volunteers for some of the day-of staff
positions as well. You can sign up for both by
going to this website: https://www.avalonharborcleanup.org/
ROATAN TRIP FILLING -
With our Easter Island trips (March) and our
Maldives trips (Sept/Oct) taking up my time, I
haven't been talking about our Roatan trip (June
28) as much as I might normally. So I've been
making up for that with newsletter blurbs and
TWARS mentions as well, and here we go again.
I'm happy to report it's filling nicely. We'll
be an Anthony's Key and the great thing about
that - other than that they run a really great
operation - is that it's all-inclusive. So the
$3,195 fee you'll pay to Reef Seekers includes a
double-occupancy room, three dives each day plus
two night dives, breakfast/lunch/dinner daily,
crew tip, airport transfers, and we've even
included the 19% government tax. One other great
thing about Anthony's - and this is one of the
better deals around - is that if you'd prefer a
room to yourself, their single supplement rate
is ridiculously cheap. Whereas most places will
charge you an additional 50-75% of the regular
rate, the add-on for Anthony's is around $275.
What a deal!!! Depending on where you're flying
in from, airfare will add another $750-1,000
(which is about what we paid last year). If you
want to join us, give us a call at 310/652-4990
or send an e-mail to this address.
VALENTINE'S DAY IS THIS FRIDAY -
The reminder applies for both men and women but
usually it's the guys who need the romantic
nudge so the point is, don't forget to do
something special for your valentine this week,
preferably on Friday (the Big Day).
And that'll do it for now. Have a great week and
let's go diving together in 2025!!!
