Continental airlines now offers direct to Bonaire flights.. Saturday morning arrival to Saturday morning departure. No more transferring and waiting in Puerto Rico. This means you get there much quicker with less hassle and NO TRANSFERS. Our exclusive Wet Set de Mexico Bonaire special, May 1- May 9 2009 allows you to use your air miles to save on AIR FARE. Package price with no air is only 1995.00 ppdo plus taxes and fees. Non divers staying with a diver in the same room saves 126.00.
Some of our dive friends have asked for a more economical package. We went to the resort and worked out this deal just for you; If 4 divers or divers with non diving spouses are interested in staying in the same 2 bedroom deluxe villa with common kitchen and living area, we can get you all of the other add-ons like rental pick up, Dinners, breakfasts, boat dives, night dive excursions etc for only 1298.00 pp quad occupancy, no air. Air rack rate for Continental direct flight was 789.00 as of 8-29-08. If you are interested in this more economical plan, please email us and we will match you up. The resort has graciously allocated 2- 2 bedroom villas for our use, but we need to know you want the shared villa instead of the private one by deposit deadline, September 15. We have filled one 2 bedroom villa. We have one more available. If you want to book a complete or partial 2 bedroom villa on a share basis and are arranging your own air, please let us know ASAP.

Flash Alert. Continental only has 14 seats that we can buy at the bulk group rate which helps us keep your prices so low. Jennifer and I have committed to two of those. Some of you have already reserved your seats. That means that there are 6 bulk tickets still available at group rate pricing. After the 15th of Sep you will need to provide your own air fare. If space is available, you can still get the same room and ocean package only at the same discounted rate. Air fare as of 8-29-08 for rack rate direct seats are 789.00 plus taxes, coach. If we are able to purchase more bulk rate seats we will do so and send an announcement out in our newsletter.

This is a fantastic Holiday getaway with a whole lot more than JUST diving. See some of the optional activities below. We will be sending out an itinerary and "Things you should bring" list in the next few weeks to our reserved, confirmed dive friends. Jennifer and I are looking forward to spending a week with you in fabulous Bonaire. We hope you join us.
