Book your dives for Invade the Keys 2008!

Book your diving now @ https://reservations.scubaboard.com

Click on Invade The Keys - Reserve Diving to get to the diving schedule.

At this point we have 4 boats per day... if that fills up we'll add more boats. You can change your boat assignments yourself at ANY TIME up until June 15, when we'll lock the events, and people will be charged for their diving.

We're also working on setting up a tek trip to the "Northern Lights" wreck in 190 FSW for Sunday Morning.

We have also posted the big party which you can also reserve now. The big party is $25 per person, but for each dive trip you book, you'll get $5 off of the party. If you book 5 or more dives, the party is FREE! The Friday night BBQ, and Sunday night Pizza party will be added shortly!

Some NOTES ABOUT THE DIVES:
All diving is ONLY $65 per trip, and all operators have agreed to include air fills (if you have your own tanks) or to provide air tanks and weights if you need it. Nitrox will be available at an additional charge on top of the $65 per tank, and varies by operator (because of how they get their gas).

These schedules are NOT SET IN STONE. We'll try to be as accommodating as possible with what YOU ALL WANT, since this is YOUR INVASION!!!


Note RE: Reservation System...

The username and password you use for the reservation system CAN BE UNIQUE to your SB account. You can retrieve your reservations, and change them at any time on our system.

ALSO: (brought to my attention 3/19/08) - The charges are not instantly run when you click submit. Charges will be run manually, and some charges will not be run at all until June or July. You will not be charged for parties until the date it says on the cancellation policy. The system DOES NOT autotmatically calculate a rate for the party based on dives booked. We'll do that manually as well when we run the credit cards for the parties (if any charges apply)

Way cool, the schedule of dives is most impressive. Wreck/reef, reef/reef, wreck/wreck, spearo, Tech, etc., all the bases are covered and there's some spots that aren't dove that often in there as well.

I'm booked for six dives and the Saturday night Pig Roast Party.

Let me add that if dives (Like Bibb / Duane) fills up really fast... We'll change that trip to a bigger boat.

I know this question is going to come up. I have two children and they are 8 and 10. For the Pig Roast do I pay $50 so they can attend and eat? I know other people will be bringing their children also for this event and would like a heads up on their kids.
Thanks
Becky

I was so sorry that I missed last year's Friday night dive so I jumped right on it!

Scheduled Sat and Sun afternoon dives so I can sleep in a bit.

Scheduled the pig roast but it is billing me $25, it should be $10 because I booked three trips...I know y'all will get that fixed.

Some of the back end functions are not up and working yet, but we felt the system was 95% done.

For the pig roast we are manually keeping track of that on the back in. You will only be charged according to the number of trips reserved.
