FULL
doesn't always mean full. When
our dives fill up the original
number of spaces booked, we can
always ask for more space from the
dive shop. And when the boats are at
capacity you can always ask to be
put on the waitlist. We always have
cancellations, so many of our
members on the waitlist get on the
dive, sometimes the night before or
the morning of the dive. So don't
miss out. If you're favorite dive
says full, just ask to be put on the
waitlist by contacting Rachel at
786-316-9852 or simply reply to this
email. Waitlisted spots are filled
on a first come first served basis
so do it soon! See you on the boat!
