Cheap Price, dive in Roatan, CoCoView

I am making not penny one here, so call it spam if you must- I think it's
just a good deal.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^
I am running two trips to CoCoView Roatan and have some loose ends to
liquidate. I'm putting these out here at Usenet rec.scuba first, rather than
RSD-D2D or ScubaBoard. These are Saturday to Saturday trips.

May 15-22, 2004 for $1110 with TACA airfare included Houston IAH>RTB
Roatan. To get this rate, mention: "Doc's May Trip". This is selling right
now from CCV for $1390 ($850+$540 air), but I have 6 spaces left at the
$1110 price. Tax and tip not included, but pretty much so everything else!
See www.cocoviewresort.com, as you get the full run of the resort as any
other guest. These are the 'over the water' cabanas, which was my choice and
preference. WHALE SHARKS are a deffinite maybe. Contact Roatan Charter (as
below) for booking and air to Houston to link up- or book it yourself. Gotta
pull the trigger by April 14th.

December 11-18, 2004 for $650, CoCo View ground package only. Air available,
it's named "Doc's December Trip" Otherwise, same as above. Call Roatan
Charter at 800 282-8932 ext 307 and ask Liz for the trip by name to get this
deal.

The trip is to Roatan's CoCoView which is known for easy and great "at your
room door" shore diving as well as great dive boats that have many features
for photographers. It is quite common to do 5x per day. NitrOx is available
at an extra cost (see the website) and they have hot tub, massuese,
pedicures, bar, etc. Of course, all meals are included (great chow!) and
welcome drink.

I will be there to take my group (you!) out shore diving and night diving
(maybe twice a night!) and play with very bright UV BlackLights to see what
corals will fluoresce quite brilliantly. You'll see Caribbean Anemones and
Banded Coral Shrimp exhibit this reaction as well.

Get your "ticket punched" by seeing the fairly common Garden Eels, Spotted
Eagles, Scorpions, Frog, Toad, big Groupers and Puffers, as well as the
lesser seen noctournal Orange Ball Corellamorphs and Yellow Cup Coral. I
will be leading an "Aquatic Critter Handshake Class"... showing you how to
make Octopus and Squid want to play with your hand. We'll dive 'Mary's
Place' as well as the much better (imho) Calvin's Crack. Most sites are less
than 10 minutes from the resort- plus they've just dropped a new "wreck" for
a total of 3 diveable from CCV.

Less than 300 feet from your room lies an intact 140' tanker ship sitting
upright in 35-65fsw, as well as the remnants of a DC3 aircraft. On either
side lies two beautiful walls- all from the shore dive. From the steps of
your room to the wreck is a five minute snorkel through an aquarium of
delights. Night diving navigation is such a snap... an anchor chain connects
the huge wreck to the resort.

Roatan is macro heaven, but you can sign up for the "Shark Dive" at an extra
cost, or head over to AKR for the snorkel Dolphin Experience on our
off-gassing day.

I really like CCV and may have bought more trips than could sell at retail,
so if you want a deal, here they are!

It would be great to dive with others on the Usenet rec.scuba combat zone.
Let's quit yacking and go diving.

What have you got available in October for after DEMA?

Are you at least getting a freebie trip? Most trip organizers get at least
that much out of it.

I only booked these two at 'dive industry rates', and those are the net-net
numbers you are seeing.

What they will offer after DEMA, only the resort Parrot could know.

Oh, b.t.w.- everyone gets a glass 10x magnifying glass and the short course
(if they want it) in hunting for little critters.

No, you were right in the first place. It's spam and you're just another
lowly spammer.

I get them at a local gun show. (See- this thread has now hit the gun
topic!)

They cost me about a dollar in bulk.

A great source is from American Science and Surplus, www.sciplus.com We
are lucky to have retail stores in Chicago and Milwaukee and I'm going there
today. I notice that the web page has "optics", then drop down on
"magnifier"... I dont see the exact thing, but look at item 7418 and 34749,
but their 800# will have someone there who will know what you want.

PS- Item 91476 is the best $50 I ever spent on a binocular microscope. (Not
for u/w use)

I get a lot of stuff from here (just ask El Stroko Guapo) that I make dive
gear out of.

Roughly, what you are looking for is a single element magnifier that is no
smaller than 1.5" across. It should be too powerful to use above water- you
should get tremendous abberation just away from the center of the lens.

Most of these require some drilling and cocking around to attach a lanyard.
Not rocket science.
