DEMA Show in Las Vegas 2010

My airfare is booked, my tickets are purchased and I am excited about going to the DEMA convention in Las Vegas this November!!  It will be my 3rd DEMA convention and I cannot wait!!

What is DEMA?  The DEMA convention is for Scuba Diving Professionals – people in the dive industry that range from Dive Instructors, Dive Shop Owners to Travel Agents, like myself, who specialize in Scuba Diving Travel.

So get ready, because I will be sharing all of the newest gadgets, hottest specials, and the NEWEST upcoming diving information with you on a hour-by-hour bases via TWEETS and BLOGS!  My cell phone will be charged so YOU can be the first to hear and see what’s new in the scuba diving industry!!

 

Meet me in Vegas!  Yes, it’s a personal invitation for you to join me!  You may not be able to get into the convention, but I would love to meet you, my fellow diver-friend!  Come 'on, you know you want to go!  Drop me a request at christy@barediver.com or christy@caribbeanjourney.com.  November 17-21 – see you there!

Vacations under $1500 including Air and All-Inclusive Hotel!

Hey, I know the economy is tough right now -  many of us watching our pennies and living paycheck to paycheck but that doesn't mean you can't afford a great vacation!



I did some research and  found some great All-Inclusive hotels that are having fantastic sales right now!  I found airfare and all-inclusive hotel packages for $1500 and less!  This price is per person, based on double occupancy. 



My prices do not have any hidden fees!  Many of my clients come to me frustrated after trying to book their own vacation on-line.  Most on-line booking engines will offer you great prices until it comes time for you to pay....then suddenly there are enormous taxes, surcharges, and hidden fees!  You will NEVER have that experience with me.  No one likes to feel taken advantage of and this is just the feeling you get when you get that increased cost on your bottom line. 



Contact me today with your travel dates and budget and let me see what I can find for you!  It doesn't cost you anything so drop me a line! You deserve a vacation - even in these tough times and I want to help make that happen.

Cozumel All-Inclusive for $400!

As mentioned in my last blog post, Bare Diver is going to Cozumel and we want YOU to join us!  Save the dates:  November 14-17! You know what they say, “The more the merrier!” and that’s always true on vacation!

You do not need to be a diver to participate in this trip because we will be staying at El Cozumeleno, which is an all-inclusive hotel.  Guess what’s included in this great price?  Yes, all of your food, snacks, meals, and drinks, tennis, volleyball, kayaks, windsurfing, miniature golf, outdoor and indoor swimming pools, Jacuzzi, fitness room, snorkeling excursions, powder white sand beach, room service, and much more!  So, for our non-diver friends, we’ll make sure you keep busy, or not so busy if that’s your preference, while the divers are away!

For my diving comrades, you can dive as much as you please.  Diving does cost extra but it’s only like $75 for a 2-tank boat dive.  I plan on diving both the 14th and 15th. 

The cool thing about diving in Cozumel is that it is all drift diving from the boats!  If you don’t yet have your PADI Drift Diving certification card, this is your chance!  David is a PADI instructor and will be ready to sign off on any of your Drift Diving certs – just have your bookwork done prior to vacation as we don’t want to bog David down on his vacation.

What is Drift Diving?  It is like floating!  The dive boat will drop us at one end of Cozumel’s 40 great dive sites and we will flow with the current and a luxurious pace, watching the ocean life as we float by – if you haven’t done this yet, it is awesome and Cozumel is the best Drift Diving in the Caribbean!

WHO:    You, your friends, my friends, and all Bare Diver fans!

WHERE:  Cozumel, Mexico

WHEN:  November 14-17 (or come earlier/stay later if you can!)

COST OF HOTEL:  $400 per couple for 3 Nights/4 Days All-Inclusive!

COST OF DIVING: Depends how much you dive but about $75 for a 2-tank boat dive and $45 for a night dive - with a cash discount!

BONUS:  Not only do you get a great vacation (which you deserve, may I add) with fantastic people (as all Bare Diver Fans are), but I will also personally give you a brand new Bare Diver T-shirt!
