Dates: April 15- 17 2011 (Fri- Sun) Enjoy life after the hurly burly of tax season.
Dives: Sat 16 Apr= private charter, 4 hours on site. 3x rec dives, 2x tec dives. OUTSTANDING!
Location: Based out of AL, 2 hour trip to the Oriskany on a cracking 46'
swept-up dive vessel, a Newton dive special.

  • Deploy to Alabama on Friday car pooling, crash at a hotel for the night.
  • Dive the epic Oriskany Saturday and afterwards have dinner, cold oat sodas and hotel that evening.
  • Return Sunday morning.
  • Monday get on SB and tell everyone how great it was and that they should have been there!
  • PLUS of course there is the option to depart back home after diving the O, should you wish.
Temps around 60 degrees or so I am led to expect.

Dive details
  • All Divers Diving the Oriskany must be Advanced Openwater certified, have dive
  • computers, and have 20 logged dives.
  • USS Oriskany Rec Dives 2 or 3x dives, no deco/130' Max Depth. Cost per Diver: $165 (MAX. The more divers the cheaper it is= that's $50 a dive! On the Oriskany!)
  • USS Oriskany Tec dives, 2x dive! Per Diver: BARGAIN at $199 (again Max- the more divers..... you know how that works)
  • Boat ride out and return is around two hours ea way depending on conditions.
  • Boat departs at 8 am on Oriskany Trips
Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Diving, Oriskany Dive - Down Under Dive Shop

Hotel is likely to be of the order of 100 per person per night.

Quick calculations- these are rough but probably close enough for planning
  • Hotel + travel costs for 2 people travelling in 1 car Austin- Gulf shores, sharing a hotel room for 2 nights= 220 approx
  • the same for 4 people travelling together in 1 car all 4 sharing 1 room and staying only the one night= 84 approx


So somewhere around there.

Wow! that was quick. There's still places available despite the lots of responses- thank you. We are on.

I shall be asking for deposits in about the first week of Feb to allow for everyone to be paid and all that.

Keep asking questions, keep the names coming- this will be another outstanding trip.

Sounds like a fun trip. Are scooters allowed for those reserving tech spots?
 
No issues that I am aware of re scooters- I shall check and let you know. I won't be taking mine.
