Post updated to include all the pertinent info, courtesy of MissDirected!!!

A member of this board, Dawn Barber of Cristal Clear Charters, has made the following very generous offer of a free dive to members of this board:

So with this in mind it is an SB Cinco de Mayo Party Dives are at 1p.m. on the Duane and the Eagle.
After Saturday¹s dives:

We're Havin' a Party/BBQ
:balloon :balloon,
​

​

Party/BBQ will take place at CCC's Pilot House Location After diving - go shower - if you'd like - and come on over. If you are a real pirate then just come straight over :winky: :arrr:
​

I will bring some Sheridan's (Walter) to share. Sheridan's, for those curious to know, are made up of vanilla vodka, pineapple juice, and a splash of lime.

*If you are here for the weekend, they are running a Spiegal Grove trip the following day/Sunday morning.

The Pilot House location
Mile Marker 99
5 Seagate Blvd
Key Largo, FL 33037​

Anyone else interested? If you are flying in, airline tickets will have dropped at that time, so you will save there.


So, put your name here and be sure to call Jaclyn as well:

[CAPT HOOK]

Hmm, Cinco de Mayo happens to be my 60th birthday, just might have to make this dive!

 

[Missdirected]

Ahhh, my dear, thank you for volunteering to head up the Winter pre-Invasion dive trip! I'm open to the last weekend of February!

:doh: Well since I have started planning anywhoozle! How much does this gig pay anyway? :winky:

Okay, I can do the last weekend of February as well. That will be in addition to Cinco de Mayo for me.

Hilary, do you want to share a room with John and I in May?

I am going to phone Dawn this afternoon and work out some details.

Hook, sounds like a heck of a way to celebrate a birthday to me

*I will wait to get more responses before I break this thread in two (February people and May people).

Hi everyone, this is Jaclyn with Cristal Clear Charters, The first brave one just called to take Dawn up on her offer! Cinco De Mayo baby! You can also send me a message here for your reservations, I am new to this scuba board thing so forgive me if I don't get back to you right away! Give us a call we are open 8-5 every day. (800) 226-0415. I'll see you all soon!

 

[CAPT HOOK]

Will give them a call tomorrow; Pat & I will be down for a couple of days the way it looks now!

 

[WVDiver]

As for May: Johnny and I have decided to head down for the weekend of Cinco de Mayo/May 5th. I will be in Ft. Lauderdale on the 4th diving, if anyone is interested. Perhaps, people coming from the norht.. a bit of a pit stop if you will. Then picking John up at the FTL airport on the morning of the 5th. After that will be heading straight to Key Largo and diving Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning in the Keys at Cristal's Pilot House location:

The Pilot House location
Mile Marker 99
5 Seagate Blvd
Key Largo, FL 33037

Anyone else interested in that weekend? If you are flying in, airline tickets will have dropped at that time, so you will save there.

Also, one of the boats that day will be for a Spiegal/Eagle dive which is strictly done AOW through Cristal.

*Please note, to make things easier, I will continue to update this post as needed.

Traci,

Clear Blue and I would love to dive with you and Johnny in May. We have already booked am dives on the 5th and 6th, I will reschedule for afternoon dives at Amy's if you guys want to dive with us Sunday the 6th in the morning.

Jaclyn,

I'm in for this one all day. I sent you a PM (private message) here on ScubaBoard and also left a message with Pam in the office for you. I wrote the Tavernier boat in my message since I wanted to do the Eagle but I'm guessing this trip is on the Key Largo boat.
Update: I spoke with Michaelynn and I'm formally booked now.

 

[CAPT HOOK]

We are booked for the May 5th and 6th dives.

 

[WVDiver]

I just spoke to Jaclyn and booked Clear Blue and I for the morning dive on 6 May 07 (Sunday). See you all there.

Jaclyn said they are still working on the website and to mapquest the address in the first post for directions. The mapquest directions are for 3 Seagate Blvd., a place called Paradise Charters, Cristal is right next door a blue building.
