The rate that they are offering us is a special rate of $72.00 for one bed and $89.00 for two beds.
(The regular rate without discount is $139.00 1 bed and $149.00 for 2 beds.)
When you call ask for a ScubaBoard Room to get the discounted rate. I've 15 rooms on hold (7 single beds and 8 double beds).
Phone: 831-373-3381
They have a free continental breakfast and free high speed internet for those of us that need to stay connected. For those that like a heartier breakfast there is a restaurant on site. There is also a pool.
Please be aware, this is a scheduled fun dive. No one is instructing, guiding, supervising, or in any way responsible for anyone other than ourselves. It is each diver's responsibility to plan and conduct his/her own dives.

I'm going to shoot them an email to see what they can do for us on our weekend as far as group rates. I also want to check to make sure that they can accommodate many of us. Once I hear back, I'll post the information.
We'll definitely have to have some excursions to the Aquarium and to Cannery Row for shopping. I know that my husband (non-diver) will want to golf so we can plan that for those that want to do that too.

You might not be able to get a lot of rooms at the Lone Oak as they are kind of small. That being said, there are several other motel-ish places nearby as well. Let me know what I can do to help with anything Ann Marie.

Okay peeps, do we want to do shore or boat diving?
Is there much difference?
Sarita, since it sounds like you are familiar, would you either give me your favorite boat name, or contact them to see if we can get on the boat and get a group rate?
I'm thinking that I personally would like to do a boat dive on Saturday (unless shore diving is really good), go out to dinner as a group Saturday night, and then play around Monterey on Sunday. Those that want to get in some beach diving could on Sunday too. Since I'm bringing a non-diver, unless he golfs both days, I have to plan some time above water.
It looks like Lone Oak has no vacancies for that weekend. :(
Ann Marie - I actually have only ever done one boat dive in Monterey. I am sure that there are others in NorCal that are more knowledgeable. I will ask around - or please, post any suggestions here. Much depends on the #s of people... Shore diving in Monterey is good - there are many different sites to choose from.

Do you have kids? I think the going rate at Pebble Beach is 1 first born The others on the peninsula are a little under that.
There are also some nice wineries in the area (and on the way up) that some of the guys know about if that is your thing
Additionally, there is the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz - about 45 miles up the Peninsula. Good for kids and we should be in the "indian summer" then as well.

I took my husband to Pebble for his 40th B-Day (he is much older than I am! ) We actually stayed at Spanish Bay, because I thought it was nicer. But he did play Pebble. Don't know if he'd want to again. At Spanish Bay during sunset a bagpiper closes the course by walking up the 18th hole to stop at the green. We had cocktails on the patio there and watched him. It was very memorable.
