CoCo View Resort in Roatan, Honduras from June 6 - 13, 2009.  CoCo View is a fantastic dive destination and is ranked consistently among the most popular dive destinations in the world.  All meals are included, BBQ and picnic on the cay (weather permitting), unlimited wreck, wall and night diving which can all be done from the shore in front of the resort.  In addition, you'll get two 2-tank boat dives per day.  You will arrive at the resort on Saturday and can get in the water that afternoon.  You will depart late in the afternoon of the following saturday so you will actually have 8 days (count 'em) to soak up the tropical atmosphere.

We've purposely omitted the airfare from this package since we've discovered that you, as an individual, can do much better than we were able to do with our "group airfare".  This will free you to shop for lower fares and also use your frequent flyer miles if you so choose. Here's what you do: Fly from your chosen airport to Roatan (RTB) on Saturday, June 6, 2009 and return on Saturday, June 13, 2009.  Continental and TACA both fly this direct route out of Houston (IAH).  I'd recommend Continental since TACA is a Houduran owned airline and we've had problems with them in the past.  Plan to arrive in Roatan on the 6th as early as practical and plan to leave on the 13th as late as possible.  This will give you more time on the island.  You will be met at the Roatan airport by CoCo View staff and transported to the resort as a part of your trip package.  Of course, return transportation to the airport is also included. If you need additional information, please give me a call at the shop (337-430-0073).  The new trip price is: $1,219.00, all inclusive except airfare.

Want to dive Nitrox? It's available at the resort for a very nonimal fee.  Not certified? We can certify you in advance or you can take a Nitrox course at the resort. Simply let me know what you'd like to do and we'll take care of it.  Our special price ($100) includes all course materials, tuition, taxes and certification card processing.

Want more?  O.K. if you want to get your Advanced Open Water Diver certification, we'll do that in CoCo View as well.  The cost will be $100.  Again, that includes all course materials, taxes and certification card processing.  This course normally runs $165.

Flyers for CoCo View are available by request or you can go to www.cocoviewresort.com and check out all the goodies.

I have 9 rooms.  All are over-water cabanas so you have the Caribbean Sea literally under your cabin floor.  All are air conditioned and have private porches with hammocks overlooking the Caribbean.  All rooms are double occupancy so bring your buddy!!  If you don't have a buddy, don't worry...we'll find one for you!

The price for this fantastic package is only $1,219.00, all inclusive except airfare.  Again, this includes all diving, all meals, all taxes and tranfers.  I don't like to be "nickel and dimed" to death so it's all here in one terrific and all-inclusive package.  We've got to get this thing rolling so grab your buddy and call me as soon as possible.  A deposit of $200 will hold each spot with the balance due by April 15, 2009.

Please call (337.430.0073) or e-mail me (mikescuba@earthlink.net) if you have any questions.  I want to see YOU in CoCo View with us!

FLORIDA

We have made several trips to the Pensacola area of Florida to dive the wrecks and structures.  Most of these trips require the use of a boat and we have contracted with dive operators in the Pensacola area to provide transportation to the sites.  Check with Mike's Dive Center to see what's coming up.

FLOWER GARDENS [Detailed Description]

The Flower Gardens and Stetson Bank make up a National Marine Sanctuary and is actually the tops of three ancient salt domes located over 100 miles offshore near the Texas-Louisiana border in 400 feet of cobalt blue water. The diveable part of the sanctuary is composed of live coral reefs on the tops of these salt domes with depths ranging from 60 feet to well over 100 feet. The Flower Gardens is consistently listed amoung the Top Ten diving destinations in the world according to reader surveys. We use two liveaboard dive boats, the M/V Spree and the M/V Fling. Both of these vessels are 100 feet long, fully air-conditioned and provide all the amenities expected on a modern liveaboard dive boat. Divers enjoy such things as a fully staffed galley for meals, private bunks, onboard air and Nitrox compressors, digital entertainment systems, dedicated camera tables and rinse tubs, 110 volt power stations and fully carpeted dive deck and sun deck.
