Hi all,
I have actually been meaning to do this for a while so here it goes.
How about a Carib-LEM? (Thanks for the logo Jon)
I manage a dive resort on the island of Utila on the coast of Honduras.
I have been thinking of hosting a meet here with diving by day and lasers by night.
I have plenty of space at the resort. We have 26 rooms - so we can sleep plenty of people. We have conference room which is a reasonable size but we have plenty of outdoor space. Power is no problem, we even have 3 phase, but I guess if anyone brings anything with them it will be running off 110V anyway.
Those that are already certified divers can spend their time fun diving with the guidance of an experienced Divemaster and those that aren't can choose to do their PADI open water course with on of my instructors.
We have reveal parties here on Utila each month so I am sure sure I can have one arranged to coincide with the LEM. This would be a hugh laser extravaganza. And I am sure nothing like this has been done in Honduras before.
As a rough ball park figure you are looking at about $600 for 7 night accommodation, 3 meals a day, all diving (fun diving or course). The only thing you'll need is flights and transfers o Utila. This price will change depending on numbers. I can even arrange a bus form San Pedro Sula airport to the ferry port in La Ceiba where you will then take the ferry to Utila. I can even meet and greet at the airport if needed.
Flights leave from Miami, Atlanta and Houston.
What dates do you think would be suitable and how long would you like it to run for? How about Aug 22 to Aug 29 this year to start with. Any other suggestions.
So those are my rough thoughts - what do you all think?
Cheers
Rich
