OK, not really a specific dive-related question, but it's related to a dive trip...
Does anyone have info on the Super 8 Motel in Sitka versus the Shee Atika Totem Square Inn? We need to stay somewhere one night before a trip on the Nautilus Swell in June. The Inn costs more but I haven't seen great reviews of the Super 8.
Actually, I always wonder about asking the locals about the local hotels... I mean, you likely never stay there! I guess I can also look at the travel forums...
Anyhoo, my local dive club here in San Jose (the San Jose Flipper Dippers) was volunteering at the recent Santa Clara Dive & Travel Expo and I won one of the door prizes. A trip to Alaska/BC on the Nautilus Swell. Yahoo! (I'm SO excited!) When I found out I could pick ANY trip I wanted, I signed up for the 11-day Alaska trip in late June. I did a trip on the Nautilus Explorer to Alaska in 2006 and it was one of my favorite trips, so I'm looking forward to this! (And now I have real incentive to fix that little leak in my drysuit...)
Also, does anyone have experience diving both the Explorer and the Swell? How do they compare? (I know the Swell is smaller.)
Thanks!
