Costs:

$15 per person per day for pontoon usage.  This is a Non refundable fee.  Individuals bringing their own boat DO NOT need to pay, but are still required to submit a reservation and activity waiver.

Payment Schedule

First come, first serve through May 1st, 2010.  First 12 payments/reservations will secure a spot on the reserved pontoon boat.

Payments/reservations exceeding 12 people will be accommodated if an additional pontoon boat is available from the marina.  (Bottom line – the marina charges a $75 non-refundable deposit; the Club will not reserve a 2nd pontoon boat unless a sufficient number of reservations and payments are received.)

Notes:

This is great trip for divers and non-divers.  Last year we had 21 people participate!  We will have our tremendously fun pot-luck dinner on Saturday evening.  Bring a couple of dishes that will serve at least 10 people.  Everyone works up quite an appetite being on the water all day.  Bring your own lunch, snacks, water, drinks in a small cooler (or if you only have a larger cooler, plan on sharing it with others as space is limited on the boat with all of the dive gear.).  Also, if you don't want to fool with bringing breakfast items, many of us drive over to the Park Lodge for breakfast before heading to the boat dock.  RSVP so you don't miss out! 

It is highly recommended that if you need gear like tanks and weights that you reserve them at New Horizons Diving well before the weekend of the trip
