The dive club’s annual Florida Keys trip will be June 15-20, 2016. We will have a 5 night stay at the Ocean Pointe condos and 4 full days of diving with Florida Keys Dive Center (aka “Flakeys”). The costs included here are tentative depending on how many divers join the trip. These costs are based on 8 divers and 4 people per room.
This trip is so much fun. A typical day starts with breakfast at the condo, pack lunches to eat between dives and go out for dinners. Last year we had cocktail hour in the pool every late afternoon. Sometimes before dinner and sometimes after. We go grocery shopping the day we get there. Dan and I stop at Costco on drive down to the Keys sometimes.
The condos are 2 bedroom, full kitchen, 2 bathrooms. We can fit 4-5 people in a room, there is a pull out for the 5th person. We have stayed at Ocean Pointe condos every year we have been going and they’ve been great, clean, and well furnished. Very nice pool and small beach also.
Room and reef dives only for $595 (8 dives = 2 afternoon dives each day)
Room and all dives for $919 (16 dives = 2 morning wreck/deep dives, 2 afternoon reef dives).
Night dive not included in the costs above as we don’t always get to offer a night dive.
Night dive $76
Nitrox (8 tanks for wrecks, typically not needed for afternoon reef dives) $64 total
If anyone is bringing a spouse or significant that does not dive, the room cost is $315pp if we have 4 in a room.
Dan and I have already booked flights on Southwest MDW to FLL:
June 15: flight 1426 departs 6am
June 20: flight 3513 departs 6pm
