Is there such a thing? I have been looking into diving the Empress of Ireland and have found some very nice options for charters and liveaboards but at prices well beyond what I had in mind.
Is there a way to do the dive(s) for less? As in, drive up there, find a local motel then charter a boat (or find a local charter) that does day trips to the wreck?
I understand that the dives would be weather/water permitting and that is why I don not want to commit the $2600 on something that is not a certainty, but instead take my chances on a daily basis and try to get out to the wreck each day.
Also, if there main attraction is off limits, are there any other wrecks/dive sites worth doing in that neck of the woods?
So in short, could I be able to make the drive from TO, stay at a local motel/hotel for the duration and get out on the water on a daily basis (if no dive on the empress that day, to do local sites or land based activities) as opposed to committing to a full operation and hope that my money won't go to waste?
Any local shops/charters you guys can recommend for such a trip?
