I'll update this first post as a running synopsis of this thread.

For a complete list of all of the Mo2vation dives for the 2006 calendar year, see this thread:

http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=123220

When:
Saturday, September 23rd

Where:
The Sundiver - Captain Ray Arntz
Alamitos Bay Landing
160 Marina Drive
Long Beach, CA 90803

Directions (click here)

For reservations call:
800-555-9446
or
562-594-6968

Destination:
Catalina Island (Usually 3 dives)

Trips to Catalina leave at 7am, boarding begins at 6 am.

The boat returns between 5:00-6:00 pm.

Cost:
(includes AL-80 Tanks provided by the Sundiver)

This does not include food or tank fills and even though a full AL 80 is provided for your convenience, the 1st fill is not included.

0 - 9 divers = $85
10 - 19 divers = $80
20+ divers = $75

Don't wait until the last minute to sign up for any of these boats.

Remember that each of these boats is working on filling these open boats just like we are. If a shop comes along in February that wants to fill an October boat and we have only taken 3 spots. The rest of those spots will be sold. That's the only way that we can work with these boats and not make a financial commitment to them up front.

I've already given my credit card number to all of these boats to hold a spot for me. Keep in mind that they only use the card to hold the spot and will only charge it on the day of the trip, so if you book these trips now for the whole year, you won't be charged for a year's worth of boat diving all at once.


What is the Mo2vation Dive?

This is a monthly gathering of all divers in SoCal who can make it.

It was named after our SoCal member Mo2vation because of his love for boat dives and all of the friendly jabs he takes at our monthly Wrinkles Beach Dive and BBQ. :crafty:

We welcome both ScubaBoard members and non-ScubaBoard members that you know. It's open to divers of all skill levels from "What's an anchor line?" to "Do we really have to dive the Andrea Doria again?"

This is a great way to meet our fellow divers and make new dive buddies! You don't have to have a buddy to participate, lots of us would be happy to buddy up with you.


RSVP:

RSVP on the ScubaBoard Calendar once you have a confirmed reservation:

http://www.scubaboard.com/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=622&day=2006-9-23&c=32

(you can now rsvp and include your guest count for your non-ScubaBoard buddies!)
Please sign up on the Calendar and update your party size on the calendar with changes, so that we can compare our list with Ray's in advance and make sure that there are no discrepancies.


Confirmed Reservations:
Let me know if I've misrepresented anyone's confirmed reservations here.

With all of the signups we've had for June, July, August and October Mo2vation Dives over the last few days, I wanted to be sure that you remembered that we also have a September Mo2vation Boat Dive.

2006 is turning out to be a very successful first year for us with all of these Mo2vation Boat Dives.

2007 will really rock now that we've got it rolling!

Heya Christian,

I just got off the phone with Ray. This date has become a charter with LACUPS or something. Need to find another boat.... :(

This is why I recommend that people get signed up for these boats far in advance.

Since these boats are all officially open boats, they will simply be taken by anyone else who wants them if we don't have reservations in.

That's how we were able to get these great deals with boats up and down the coast without a financial commitment to buying the whole boat up front.
