Description: I will be going on a month long trip aboard the FeBrina. We will be doing exploratory diving on the South Shore of New Britain Island. This shore has been relatively unexplored, due to its remoteness. Alan Raabe has done some exploring there and has found some exceptional new sites, including wonderful new "muck" sites. It can be a real crapshoot, and you have to be willing to take what you get. I was on another exploratory dive trip to the Duke of York Islands and the Gazelle Peninsula in PNG with Alan. We found stunning new sites, where Alan put down new moorings for future use. Alan is a dive conservationist who has put down many of the permanent moorings used by all of the PNG liveaboards. There are a few spots left on the boat, but, due to the length of the trip (it COULD be broken in half for people who can`t stay the whole time)it is a bit pricey.

Contact/Price: varies depending on where you departa & numbe

Description: My husband and I just got back from a week of diving on Grand Turk. We had a blast and are planning a return trip over the new year break. We are travel agents and can get discounts if at least 10 people go. We would divide the discount amongst everyone. We are planning to spend 3-4 days diving on Prove with Dive Prove and Alan. We met him on our way to Grand Turk and he was a wonderful person. He’s got 3 large dive boats which can hold up to 16 people. After diving in Prove we will take a hopper over to Grand Turk which is less than an hours flight. This round trip is around $200 or less. Depending on where you choose to stay on Grand Turk may depend on who we go diving with. Different places usually dive with different dive shops, but most of them will pick you up on the beach in front of where you are staying. So if we all dive with the same shop, again the discount will be distributed evenly making everyones cost less. Some resorts offer continental breakfast or other meal packages. You really don’t want to buy more than breakfast or take the included breakfast only. There are so many places you will want to sample the great food. Most resorts vary in price from $75/night up to $250+ depending on the accommodations you want. The lower end is for a room in a house sharing 1 bath. This is where we stayed and loved it, however if you need/want TV and all the extras, you won’t get them here. You will get a free continental breakfast of fruit, cheese and toast. We need confirmations no later than mid Aug. 2008 if interested. Pleaes email us and we can arrange your flight for you on our travel site: KBParadiseTravel.com

We will be exploring new sites and, probably, setting new permanent moorings on sites deemed worthy. We have room for more divers and the trip is being split into two 10 days trips going out of Rabaul, so you don’t have to afford the full itenerary. We are looking for experienced divers, as this will not be a "babysitting" trip for new divers. If you like big pelagics, this may not be the trip for you. We are critter diving.

Description: I’m going to Maui next February. I’ve got friends there who work for Lahaina Divers - a dive charter company. I plan to do most of my diving with them, but if anyone plans to be in Maui and wants to hook up, or if you’re a solo traveler like me and want to go to Maui, feel free to let me know. This is not a group trip so you’ll have to make your own flight and hotel reservations. If you’re a solo traveler, there is a possibility of sharing the room I already reserved. Keep in mind, if you’re travelling from continental US, Canada, Central or South America, it’s an overnight return flight. So even though we leave Maui on the 23rd, we don’t get back to this side of the Pacific until the 24th.

Description: The springs of North-Central Florida offer spectacular diving in placid, clear pools with visibility no less than 100 feet and water temperature of 72 degrees year round. The springs are made up of the most pure water boiling up to the surface making their way to the many rivers in Florida’s north central region. It is these springs that draw so many divers each year to explore the many sinkholes, underwater limestone caverns and caves. Many of these unique dive spots offer easy diving opportunities for beginners to explore these crystal clear springs. In addition to awesome diving, this region of Florida is home to the endangered West Indian Manatee. The gentile giants move here during the winter for the warm waters. This is one of the last places in North America you’ll be able to interact with these lovable animals. Our trip is based out of the Best Western Resort in Crystal River, Florida, centrally located among Florida’s best in-land dive sites. The first morning you will get up close and personal with the endangered West Indian Manatee. Snorkeling allows this amazing interaction. After lunch we are on our way to the Rainbow River, a gin clear river with visibility exceeding 150 feet! Later, we’ll explore Devils Den, an underground lake, and Blue Grotto, a crystal-clear sinkhole with a maximum depth of 100 feet! This unique cavern is set up to allow beginning divers opportunity to safely explore this cavern. This trip is perfect for training. Each location we use enables us to complete your certification dives in an environment that is truly unique. In addition, you may opt to do your Advanced Open Water, Rescue or Cavern diver! A couple important items: A car is a must! Many sites are up to 30 minutes from the hotel. The closest airports are Orlando (MCO) and Tampa/St. Petersburg (TPA) and are about a 90 minute drive to Crystal River. Other activities available are sea kayaking, snorkeling or just chillin’ out. Crystal River is a nice small town great for afternoon strolls. The trip costs $399/diver ($300/snorkeler). Training fees, if any, are additional. For more information, call us at (703) 263-0427.

Description: This month discussion is about Planning a Dive Trip Straight from the pages of "Dive Training" Nondiving vacationers have one advantage over us dive travelers. They don’t have to pack and haul as much luggage. Their needs are quite basic compared with ours; a few changes of clothes, a toothbrush, some sunscreen, a bathing suit and a pair of flip-flops and they’re all set to lounge around the pool or loll about on the beach for a week. If they’ve forgotten their cheap sunglasses or floppy hat, they can purchase these items at their destination. But for us divers, equipping for a scuba vacation requires a few more accessories and a little planning. Join us for this discussion and learn how to become a seasoned "Dive Traveler" Meadowlands SCUBA Meetup is a group of local divers dedicated to promote SCUBA Diving for everyone. "Education Beyond that C-Card", safe diving and having fun. Visitors are always welcome! We meet the fourth Tuesday of each month in Carlstadt, NJ. Basic membership is FREE Location Waterfront Cafe Outwater Ln & Paterson Plank Rd Carlstadt, NJ 07072
