Notes:

1. Airfare (Delta $550) and rental car ($164) are individual responsibilities. Since many travelers have traveler program discounts, each can get their own best deal, or share.  We can assist if requested.  The dive and lodging package is $1,170 plus tax, with breakfast included.  Other meals are separate.
2. Puerto Rico does not require a passport, money or power conversion.  Away from tourists the cost of living is generally inexpensive.
3. You may still join this trip if airfare, lodging and diving arrangements can be confirmed.  The price is a good estimate without prepaying for dives and lodging.  We are past the cut-off date, but with the current economic fear dampening the demand, you may still be able to get in on a great dive trip.  Any questions call George cell 332-3726.
