General Questions about the Bonaire Invasion

[MeraSonnet]

Nitrox is good for everyone, even teens. The only possible hitch would be whether your computer supports Nitrox. If it does your are good to go. If it doesn't you'll need to dive an air profile, but it does not mean you can't have Nitrox in the tank. You just won't get all of the extended NDL times and shorter SI.

:cool3:

Look forward to meeting another Georgia diver. I think that makes 5 on this Invasion.

That's great! Looking forward to the trip and meeting the crew!

Insta-Gator info is correct regarding the nitrox pm NetDoc or mselenaous they can guide you.

As for Bribes LOL... There is no need. You are eligible by just attending.
The prizes donated for the Invasion are given as door prizes,raffles or contest prizes. Such as the underwater scavenger hunt. The sponsor attach no strings and we very appreciative for that.

A nice THANK YOU is enough for them when you redeem any prize you win.

Or Scuba_Dad.

NASE does have a higher age limit than other agencies. Your teen has to be 16 prior to starting the course. One of us will send you a key to get the online portion of the course completed. Once we get to BoNitrox... one of us will go over your test with you, answer any questions, and show you how to analyze your gas. Once we're done with that... you'll receive a digital card from NASE to your smart phone (if you have one)...

I just found out we'll be ordering hard cards....

Anyone know if the in-room safe is big enough for a macbook w/15" screen? I emailed the resort, and will update this if I get a reply.

Thanks,

James please keep us posted as to the hotels response. I pasted this from the plaza website, so I guess the answer is yes.

Complimentary in-room safe (appropriate for laptops)

 

[James R]

Here's what they sent back this morning...I guess we'll see when the time comes, huh? haha


The in room safes with fit normal laptops, ipads, notebooks, mac books, ect.

Is the schedule for the boat dives posted anywhere?

Also, where is the rental company for the people renting trucks?

I see that transportation from the airport to the hotel is included in the package. Do we need to schedule a ride with the transportation company or do they just give you a ride on a regular schedule when you arrive?

Boat dives are in the morning except for first day due to Marine park Mandatory check out dive. That will be afternoon I believe.

Call Al for trucks he is handling that for us also.

I've already have a truck reserved, I was just wondering where to pick it up from.

My flight doesn't arrive in Bonaire until 2:00 in the afternoon so if there is an afternoon boat dive I don't see how I can make that, unless it's very late in the afternoon.
