Dry Tortugas Back on Our Schedule!
January 19, 2008 1:50 pm Dive TravelAs many of you know, we are pretty well known for our live-aboard trips to the Dry Tortugas aboard the Ultimate Getaway. After a “vacation” from this trip for a season, we now can offer it again for the 2008 season. Our customers love spearfishing and lobster hunting, so we have a Dry Tortuga’s trip that should suit them well.
We now have a fall date scheduled with the Ultimate Getaway. We will again have an extended 5 day trip leaving Ft. Myers on Wednesday evening, September 17, 2008. With a 7PM departure time, everyone will wake up in the Tortugas banks on Thursday morning ready to dive! With our return to dock scheduled for Sunday afternoon, September 21, 2008, this will give everyone an opportunity to do all of the dive they could possibly want to do in this short time. In fact, we expect to do 25 or more dives over these four days. Once again, for our local customers, all you need to do is walk on your flight in your shorts and t-shirt. We will have a truck going down will all of the dive gear, all of the bedding, and even your suitcases! When you get to the airport in Ft. Myers, we will be waiting for you in the terminal. You gear will already be on the boat, ready for your setup and diving! We think it couldn’t possibly be any easier.
When we launch the new site later this month, I will post a link to the information page about this trip. Space is very limited, so if you want to go on this trip, you should phone us at (800) 601-DIVE! We want you there and we want you to have fun!

How much experience do we need for this? Could we meet you guys in Tortugas?

Josh…
the trip departs out of Ft Myers and is a live aboard trip. You’d want to meet them there.
No easy way to get to the Tortugas (unless you count the tourist day ferry to Ft Jefferson), but you’re just adding $150 bucks to the trip by doing that and cutting yourself out of a day of diving.
trip details at the travel section of the Dive Sports website.
