INVADE FT. Lauderdale INFO: (From Marvel)
For starters.....

July 10
3-Tank dive
70' Wreck / 70' Wreck / 30' Reef ***

***This is a kind of a "tune up" day in case y'all haven't been diving in a while. If everyone is comfortable though, this can be changed to a deeper wreck for the first dive- since we booked first, we call the shots!!

July 11
2-Tank dive
Tenneco Towers / Tenneco Towers***
Tenneco Towers

***My favorite "wreck dive" in Ft Lauderdale- actually oil rigs that were sunk as part of our artificial reef program. Absolutely teeming with life!

July 12
3-Tank dive
Jim Atria / 70' Wreck / 30' Reef
Jim Atria

July 13
2-tank dive
90' Reef / 60' Reef

We will be going out with Captain Todd & his crew on the American Dream II- absolutely my favorite dive boat in SE FL.

SPECIAL PRICES FOR SCUBABOARD!!!!!

Captain Todd is giving us a heck of a deal on our dives. These prices are MUCH lower that his regular prices & are guaranteed not to change even if his prices go up between now & July- a distinct possibility with rising fuel costs:

2-TANK DAY $40.00 + 6% sales tax

3-TANK DAY $55.00 + 6% sales tax

For those of you who will be diving air, the cost of aluminum tanks will be $7/each. The AD II does not have Nitrox so.....
For those who wish to dive Nitrox, please let us know ASAP. We are going to have to arrange a daily run to pick up tanks from a (couple of) local dive shops.

Of course, for the true die hards, there will be beach diving in the afternoons/evenings available in my side yard.


FT LAUDERDALE HOTEL INFO:

Windjammer on the beach in Lauderdale By the Sea. We can just step out onto the beach & go diving in my side yard!!! The hotel has 2 pools & a BBQ & both rooms have kitchens. One block to get to several RESTAURANTS.

Room 5

Room 204

Cost for #5 is $147/night + tax & sleeps 4- 1 queen bed & 2 twin pull outs
Cost for #204 is $185 + tax & sleeps 6- 2 queen beds & 2 twin pull outs

This price includes a 5% discount.Our reservations are from the 9th through the 13th when we are moving down to the Keys




IF you are interested in diving in Ft. Lauderdale, Please contact Marvel for additional information.
