November

Belize Dive -- Nov 4-11

Hey folks! At long last, the details for this year's NOVEMBER Belize trip are ready and attached below. The listed trip fees includes 1-day diving at Blue Hole. This was a pricey add-on but who goes to Belize without experiencing Blue Hole?  

The resort is close to restaurants and shopping in San Pedro so we've just included a daily continental breakfast to give us something before morning dives and we'll have freedom to choose where to eat lunch and dinner. The fee also includes the short flight from Belize International to Ambergris Caye where the resort is located. Airfare to and from Belize International is on your own. 

I've booked the minimum number of rooms required for our group (estimated total of 22 divers). Additional rooms can be added if available BUT there are only 21 rooms on site, so get your deposit in early. Trip fees are listed on the flyer. Fee payment breakdown schedule is as follows:

• $300 deposit due by May 1.
• 50% down by July 1
• Balance due by Sept. 1 

Of course you may pay it all up front or pretty much any other increment as long as the minimums are met by the above dates. There's a 4% fee for credit card payments. 

Your deposit locks you in (find your own roommate if desired) and no payments are refundable. We highly recommend trip insurance. The Travel Agency we work with recommends Travel Insured International and if you're a DAN Member, both dive accident insurance AND Travel insurance are available through them. I did a quick check through the first agency and depending on coverage chosen, a double occupancy diver trip fee will cost you $106 - $138 for travel insurance (trip only, not  JAX-Belize airfare). 

We're excited to offer this to you and hope to see you there!
