Hi there,

Had a great great time at last year's "Sinko de Mayo" in Key Largo/Tavernier, and recently several buddies asked me whether I had info on this year's event. Since I didn't, I decided to get the ball rolling myself. :cool2:

Sinko III will be May 8-10!

Last year's model worked well, so I say we repeat it. Lodging arrangements should be similar to last year, and Capt. Gary of Conch Republic Divers is onboard as well.

I believe that last year's schedule was:
- Sat morning: Duane/Bibb
- Sat afternoon: Spiegel Grove/reef
- Sun morning: Eagle/reef

Don't necessarily need the same schedule, but in the theme of "Sink-O", let's keep a focus on the heavy metal and do some wreck diving!

Looking forward to a great mini reunion in the Keys (just hope that this year I won't have to come straight from MIA and spend the weekend jet-lagged... :lotsalove: )! See you in May!

Here's the links to register, added for your convenience, keep in mind that even though the price says $80 ConchRepublic will honor special SB pricing as follows:

If you are riding w/ someone, only the driver needs to give their name. As you come to the gate you will tell the guard you are there for the Sink-O Party in R5, He will give you a pass to let you in and give you directions to R5 (behind the building of (R5) you will see a Big Tiki Hut).

More info, direct from Conch Republic's Capt. Gary:
Hey Laura,

Great...We can do the same itinerary as last year, but also do Reefs on the other boat so everyone is happy. Cost will be at $60 without tanks, $2.50 per tank of air, and $7.50 per tank for a nitrox upgrade.

So without tanks the trips are $60
We furnish air 2 tanks trip is $65
We furnish nitrox 2 tanks trip is $75

So, we have special ScubaBoard pricing in place from Conch Republic, and dive options available for those who are not into "heavy metal".

Thanks, Captain - let's go diving!
 
We'll have the trips on the calendar so you can book on-line shortly, but wanted to give everyone the pricing for this years trip.

$60 if you have your own tanks
$2.50 per tank of air
$7.50 per tank of nitrox 32% or less

Also if the interest is there we'll have one boat do the wrecks and the other one do the reefs. That way we'll cover all dive profiles.

Look forward to another great Sinko trip and seeing all you SBer's.

Good Diving,
 
:goingdown::goingdown: and more :goingdown: sounds good to me:D See everyone in May :kiss2:
