Anacortes Diving Enews-February

Here we are staring at the start of February and the weather is still a bit chilly outside, but the visibility is really getting good. The dive sites for the most part are not crowded, so it really is the best time to get out and enjoy the best of the Northwest! Bob has been working on the web page a bit and we finally were able to get our trip report from our Papua New Guinea trip posted. It is a long one, so grab a cup of coffee before you settle down to give it a good read, it really was quite an adventure. Be sure to check out the courses for February, there’s several to choose from and we have added a few new trips to the schedule.

UPCOMING CHANGES FOR STORE HOURS:

Wednesday February 11-CLOSED

Wednesday February 18-CLOSED

We will be traveling and Griffin deserves a couple of days off.

Capt’n Jacks Tide and Current Guides are in!  

Because our promo with the ½ price rentals was so popular, we are going to run it again for the month of February! Wow, I must really need that vacation! Please remember that you need to bring the coupon in for the special.

Congratulations to our newly certified divers: Gabe A., Mike R., Troy M. and Sky G.

Trips/Charters:

PHILIPPINES NOVEMBER 6-21, 2009  This trip is a great value, for a two week vacation that literally includes everything from airfare, to food, to diving (and more diving than you can imagine), this will be the place to go for 2009.

BARKLEY SOUND, B.C JULY 23-26, or OCTOBER 1-4, 2009  Our July trip is now sold out but we have added an October trip. October generally brings incredible visibility, usually around 80 ft or more! Follow the link for all the details.

We have added a trip to the Caribbean February 13-20, 2010 aboard Explorer Ventures Liveaboard to Saba/St. Kitts. We will be able to cement our airfare in March, so we should have pricing sometime then.

Africa 2010 We are on the final negotiations on our White Shark Cage Diving/Sardine Run/Bicycle Safari trip. I spoke with Nic the owner on Friday and he is getting me final pricing and there will also be a slight change in the schedule. So, the one that is posted on the website right now will change in length, mainly having to do with the Sardine Run. Keep watching for updates, as soon as I have them I will get them out to you. THIS TRIP WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
