Here's looking at you Sweet Lips! Photo from Australia's Great Barrier Reef by ADA member Rachel Davis. Read more about the trip and state of the reef in this month's ADA Newsletter.

Highlights from your February Newsletter:
Dive season inches closer with each passing month so start getting in shape now with Lon. Before it's too late, renew your ADA membership for 2018 for the low early-bird rate of just $35 valid until March 31st. After that you'll pay $49 so hurry now! Here are the details of you're due a refund or credit from last year. Our ADA international dive trip to Grand Cayman is already sold out, but we can add you to the wait list. Or opt for the dive cruise in November where there's still plenty of space and great specials on now. Travel with Rachel on an awesome adventure to Australia's Great Barrier reef and check out her underwater photos while you're at it. Speaking of Australia, we're concerned about why there are fewer and fewer male sea turtles there, and how the reef has changed over the past decade. Plastic in the ocean is an increasing problem that poses a significant threat to marine life. Read Jerry's fun facts about sharks, and how to survive a satirical shark attack: if you dare!

Are you Due a Refund?

--by Lon Von Lintel

ARE YOU DUE FOR A REFUND?

ADA members will be issued a refund for the 2017 dive season -

if you paid for a dive with insurance and did not attend...or
if you paid for a dive and ADA canceled that dive...or
if you paid for a dive and then you canceled one week in advance

If you paid for a missed dive that did not include insurance or you did not cancel one week in advance, we cannot issue any refund.

If you are due for a refund, you may choose one of the following options-

Apply $35 (the cost of early renewals) to extend your membership one year. You need not act, ADA will automatically extend it for you. Your refund (less the $35) will be sent to your mailing address on record.
Request a full refund, with no extension of yearly membership. Your request must be made by email to Lon before Feb.1, 2018 lon@diverlon.com

We anticipate that this process will be completed by Feb 1 and refunds will then be mailed to those opting for an extension. Those opting for a full refund can expect their refund at about the same time.

If you have not received your refund by the middle of Feb. please contact me via email. If your records indicate I have made a mistake in calculating your refund, give me a call. 305 251 4975

Thanks, happy diving next year.
