Kona Fundamentals (6/24-27/06) deadline extended to Tuesday, April 18th, 2006. They found out they have just a little more time to confirm the roster.

Of six spots available, 2 are taken, 2 tentatives.

Benefits to Training in Kona
- Warm water allows significant in-water time (more water time=more practice=more improvement)
- Good visiability actually allows you to see the video
- Very little chance of blow-outs
- Tons of stuff to see if you stay to dive a few extra days
- You can bring the family and they will have something to do above water
- You can bring the family and there will be dives they want to do (and can do)
- Can do tech dives and shallow reef dives off the same mooring
- Kona Brewing Company (nuf said)

Benefits to GUE Training at Dive Tek Hawaii
- Dive Tek typically runs only one charter a day, so you can stay at each site as long as the instructor needs you to
- No schlepping of tanks
- No wasted time getting air fills, nitrox fills or mix fills (this is significant!!)
- A crew that understands your gear
- Local instructors in BP/W or traditional gear if you have a family member who would like to learn to dive or take a traditional specialty class
- Charters, breathing gas, and tank rentals rolled into one extremely low fee for fundamentals (I think Dive Tek Keith has lost it - contact mer@ne-ue.com off list for pricing information)
