These are all two tank trips. The cost is $45 (equipment rental and tanks
extra).
E-Divers, Yahoo go to Groups, go to E-Divers . This is a Great Group of Experienced Divers mostly between West Palm and Miami that dive many times a week!
The KSC Barracudas also has a Nekton Pilot trip . We're going out July 8th-15th. We have 3 spaces left-one for a single guy and two for whoever wants to pair up in a cabin. Cost is $1716-and possibly less if you fill our trip, since we get one free with the 10th person and we split that up among the group. We are diving the Northwest Bahamas (Mt.Olympus and the Gingerbreads) and leaving from Ft. Lauderdale, so no air is involved. If interested, email Beth Shaffer (bbshaffr@aol.com) or call me at 453-6522. Beth

Hope this helps...
A 15 knot East wind will generate 6 ft waves in West Palm and a "Good" Dive Boat will not go out! Wind Forecast at NOAA at: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS52.KMFL.html
