Scheduled Club Trips and Spots
These trips and spots are scheduled specifically for Club Members at 40% off.
These spots can be reserved starting one month prior to the trip start date. They typically become availabe on Wednesdays, 30 days prior to the trip.
PADI Instructors and Divemasters are available to guide scuba divers.
Snorkelers welcome on boat charters, with a minimum of two paying snorkelers, or a private guide.
If space is available, your friends are welcome to come, but they will be charged full price for their spots on the boat. We also reserve the right to open up available spaces to regular paying guests, as the trip approaches if there aren’t enough Club Members to fill the boat.
