Ok
Sole Searchers...
it's time to dive Curacao!
Our annual resort dive trip for 2009 is Curacao. "You know... the island between Aruba and Bonaire." So why Curacao? Like Bonaire, there’s plenty of great shore dives, but we're in for two tank boat dives daily on some of the most pristine reefs in the Caribbean. And if that doesn’t fulfill your diving appetite, you'll have unlimited shore dives in this package deal. It'll be dive, eat, party, sleep, rinse and repeat. Curacao is also great for non-divers. There's the main town of Willemstad (35 minutes from the resort) for visiting 17th century architecture sites, shopping, museums, galleries, sea aquarium, and even an Amstel Brewery. See the Curacao website at http://www.curacao.com
Dates:
Friday May 15 to Saturday May 23
The week of diving fun starts on Friday May 15 leaving LAX, and returning
Saturday May 23 LAX. We'll be staying at the Sunset Waters Beach Resort
located on the Western shores of Curacao where the diving is superior.
Resort: We will be staying at Sunsetwaters, and here is the package deal.
6 days of unlimited shore diving, 6 days of two tank boat dives, roundtrip airport transfers, three meals a day and all beverages, including alcohol (top shelf extra).

4 AA1290N 23MAY MIA-LAX* 900P 1145P
Note: that your flights depart
LAX at 10:40 pm on Friday, May 15. In some ways, this is a better option
than before…Other than the hassle of the overnight flight to Miami,
you are at least departing for home at 2:10 in the afternoon rather than
early in the morning as before.
This fare
includes all taxes, fuel surcharges and the ticketing fee. The airline
will guarantee the base fare, but will not guarantee the taxes and fuel
surcharges. Currently the taxes and fuel surcharges represent $125.80
of this fare.
American requires a $100 per person deposit. If you cancel at anytime,
you will be charged $10 for each seat that you held. If you drop space
between 90 and 30 days before travel, you will have a $100 per seat penalty.
If you drop seats less than 30 days before travel, you have a $200 per
seat penalty.
