DDI 2004

Hear ye! Hear he! Hear ye!

First of all, I want to thank everyone for their input and suggestions. Believe me we considered each and every one of them (some longer than others ).

We wanted someplace that addressed what we perceived as problems at our first gathering, and after much consideration and gnashing of teeth, we settled on September 4-11 at Little Cayman Beach Resort on Little Cayman, BWI. This is a very highly rated all-inclusive resort, that met all of our criteria and offered us a great package for DDI 2004.

Airfare from Miami to Little Cayman, transfers and taxes, and resort (not divemaster) gratuities are included. Also included are breakfast/lunch/dinner incl. coffee/tea/juices (no more Taco Bell for Steve and Belinda).

We will have 6 days of 2-tank dives, one nite dive, and (conditionally) one dive on the MV Keith Tibbets.

Afternoon dives and one additional nite dive are optional and can be purchased on island. Nitrox is available as an extra cost option as well.

We're still working on guest speakers, but in general we're leaning more toward peer to peer photo sharing/critiques and group discussions that we never quite found time for last time.

Good news on the DDI competition front, Rand has declined to compete this year and will be a judge instead giving others a chance at some prizes!

All of the details and the price structure are at http://www.digitaldiver.net/ddi.php.


We sincerely hope you can join us for what promises to be another great DDI!

Barbara and I are in even if she does use a Nikonos V.

Ah, the rewards of posting a trip report (even if it is several months late)!

BTW, thanks Tio.

Congrats to Jeff and Tio for picking a great spot!
I just toured their website and I'm really impressed with all they offer.
I'm gonna have to check out the "Body Polish" at their Spa. I'm really overdue for one of those.

BVI sounds like great fun - but it conflicts with our Labor Day Weekend 4 day dive charter!    Looks like we can't make it - and I needed a body polish!

Or Baltimore Washington International where we'll be leaving from to go on this great journey.

Tio, air is included out of Miami...  You must have so many seats on hold with flight times already set? 

I wonder if it would work for us to stay four extra nights. I know the LCBR would accept the rack rate for extra nights, but would working in the return air be a problem?
