My wife and I have a trip scheduled to Cocos in September with Argo which was rescheduled from 2020. You mind me asking when in September you will be on the Argo?

Hi James. I will be on September 10-20, 2021. This trip was also rescheduled from last year.

You can find more details of my trip in this latest post about the trip, Cocos with Argo, September 10-20, 2021, $1000 off

This reminds me to update the status of the trip for others, who are thinking of going to Cocos this year. I had a great time there in September 2018. I went also to Cocos last December 2020. Unfortunately the weather was a bit rough. I actually got sea sick on the way to Cocos. No fun! September seems to be a better weather.

As stated on the link above, one of my buddies would not be able to go on this trip & willing to discount his $1000 off if anyone is interested to take over his spot.

We also still have 3 more spots for $450 off. If I can get to fill out these 3 spots, then everyone in my group would get another $345 off, So $795 off for everyone, except for the take over spot one, above, which would still be for $1000 off.

I have been using Greg at Liquid Diving Adventures for about a decade. I've been very pleased with the personal service and the pricing has always been better than I'd have managed on my own.
