Reserve your space now for our annual get-away to Fort Lauderdale
Yes, Key Largo is “out” (due to technical difficulties) and Fort Lauderdale is “in” for 2008
Great Diving !!! Reefs, wrecks, and an abundance of marine life !!! It’s no wonder that South Florida is known as “The Dive Capital of the World”. Come for the entire time, or just a few days — this flex-trip fits your schedule!! Make your own travel arrangements, and meet the group in Fort Lauderdale. This trip is ideal for families with non-divers, as there are plenty of activities in the area to keep everyone happy !
We have a block of rooms at Sands Harbor Hotel & Marina. The resort is located on the Intercoastal Waterway, just off the beach (Atlantic Ocean). The on-site amenities include a pool, multiple restaurants, fishing charters, casino cruise, and of course the dive shop. Each room has its own private balcony, overlooking the water. Room Rate: $100 per night, including all taxes (pre-paid to Elite Divers). ** Other room types may be available at additional cost **
We will be diving with South Florida Diving Headquarters. They provide gear storage, so there is no need to drag your stuff back and forth to your room. Their fleet of dive boats include two glass-bottom catamarans, making it ideal for snorkelers and bubble-watchers to also enjoy the dive sites. Price per Dive Trip, 2-tank, Morning: $60.00 + tax (payable to dive operator). ** Multiple trips, on same day, are available at reduced rate **
A $100 per person deposit to Elite Divers will hold your room reservation, and final payment will be due to Elite by 5/15/08. We will need to know which dives you plan to do so we can give the dive operator a count.
This is a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to complete your Open Water Diver certification in Florida’s warm water. Advanced Open Water and Specialty Diver certification dives may also be completed on the trip. Check with Elite Divers for prices and availability.

Socorro Island 2008
Dec 8-16, 2008
Elite Divers is going to Socorro. The Nautilus
Explorer Liveaboard will be our home for the trip. Diving in the
Revillagigedos (of which Socorro is one island) definitely has an edge to it.
These islands are famous for very close, extraordinary and intimate interaction
with giant mantas. We know of no other place in the world where mantas seek out
interaction with humans the way they do here. The shark diving here isn't bad
either!
This is a trip for more experienced divers. The boat's staff specializes in
looking after photographers and rebreather divers as well. The cabins are
air-conditioned, have room for storage and a private washbasin and shower. The
dive deck was built for divers, with plenty of room for all of your stuff. A 42
Inch plasma is mounted above the ship's library and adjacent to a well stocked
bar (cash). A large projection screen is fitted on the
opposite wall and a PC fitted with card readers, CD burner and Adobe Photoshop
Elements is secured onto a corner table. Attentive staff members are on duty
during mealtimes to make sure that you are completely looked after. A fruit bowl
and a bakery basket are kept well stocked just in case you are still hungry
after a pre-dive continental breakfast, full breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack,
dinner and dessert! Beverage dispensers provide an endless supply of coffee,
filtered water, juice, sodas and hot chocolate.
Our package included round-trip airfare from
