Little Cayman Island is one of the top ten dive destinations in the Caribbean, and we will be there from June 23-30 of 2012. It features spectacular wall dives, healthy reefs, and diverse fish populations. It is also a great environment for photography and videography. We will stay at the Little Cayman Beach Resort, which has been a New Horizons favorite for over ten years. Trip Leader Clare McEachin knows the resort and diving staff like family, so we always have a wonderful time and are treated to only the best service. The staff even carries your gear and changes your tanks for you after each dive! Clare is also an instructor with R.E.E.F., the fish identification, survey, and conservation program, so if you want to participate in some work that makes a positive impact in the marine world, this is a great opportunity.

This trip includes 17 boat dives, all meals on Little Cayman, double occupancy lodging, and airfare from Lexington. You can also add more dives for a few bucks if you want to squeeze in more than the initial 17 The trip cost is $3000; a $500 deposit will hold a place for you.

The Resort is top notch, very comfortable, and has great food. There’s not much to do on Little Cayman other than diving, so we don’t recommend this trip for non-divers.

Want to get the BIGGEST return on your diving dollar? Join us for our summer 2012 Bonaire trip from July 14 – 21!

Instructor Ed Gabe will lead you to a true diver’s paradise…unlimited shore diving everywhere, and boat dives too. You will enjoy free Enriched Air/Nitrox, so you can maximize your time under water. This is also easy diving; beginners will have a great time and build solid experience. Bonaire has dense coral reefs with beautiful fish and small critters. You can go on guided dives with our staff, or head out with buddies and find your own private dive spot on the island. The reef starts within a few feet of shore in almost all places! Think about it: dive as much as you want, wherever you want! Many of our divers do 20 to 25 dives on our Bonaire trips!!!

The cost is $1099 per person for a double occupancy room in a three room, fully appointed condominium. This is a super low price for seven nights of lodging, daily breakfast, unlimited shore diving, three two-tank boat dive trips, unlimited air & enriched air, and the use of one pickup truck for each condo. Want a more private rooming option? You can also opt for a two room or one room condo for a slightly higher price.

Airfare will run approximately $900 per person round trip from Lexington, but it changes from time to time. So to get the best rate, come in and make your arrangements soon. Or, if you wish, you can make your own air arrangements with frequent flier miles, etc.

We are staying at (and diving with) our long-time friends at the Buddy Dive Resort. They offer superior service and safety, with all the amenities of a full resort, and fantastic shore diving just steps away from our rooms!

Bonaire is a VERY safe and friendly place to visit. It is NOT a primitive third-world country. Bonaire is a Dutch territory; it is very clean, has safe drinking water, great restaurants, etc. The infrastructure is solid, with good roads, good phone service, and internet access.

Want to take a class while you are on the trip? Just let us know what you are interested in. Popular courses that are great to take in Bonaire include Advanced Open Water, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Reef Fish Identification, Deep Diver, Night Diver, and Digital Underwater Photographer, and more.
