2012 Dive Adventures
Pearl Lake:
June 21
July 19
August 16
Details:
Pearl Lake is located near South Beloit, Illinois, and is a fun place to dive, due to the attractions and easy conditions. We generally meet at the Delafield store around 730am, and caravan or carpool down, or if it is more convenient to meet at Pearl, we should arrive by 930am.
We bring brats, buns and condiments, and everyone is responsible for their own beverages and side dishes. There is no need to bring enough for everyone in the group, but if you feel inclined to do so, great!
At least 3 dives are the norm, but if you want to stay later for more dives or leave earlier, that's just fine. Rental gear is available, but please reserve any gear well in advance. Sorry, we do not transport any rental gear to and from the lake. These days are perfect for newer divers, as you can have a really fun dive in 25 feet of water or less. We appreciate advance sign ups, so we know how much food to bring. There is a diving fee that is paid when we arrive. Please don't forget your certification card! For more particulars and to sign up call the Delafield store at 262-646-8283.
Lake Wazee:June 8,9,10
August 10,11,12
Details:
Lake Wazee, located near Black River Falls, Wisconsin is one of the best places in the state to dive, due to the good visibility, fish life and easy access to numerous dive sites. These weekends are usually set up as training weekends, with Advanced Open Water, Deep Diver, Underwater Photography and other classes, but if you wish to join us just for fun, you are more than welcome! We usually meet at the Delafield store around 5pm on Friday and head to Black River Falls. Saturday starts at 9am meeting at one of the dive sites to do either class work or fun dives. If you care to join us, we will be having dinner on Saturday as a group at one of the local restaurants in Black River Falls. On Sunday we start at 8am, and are on the road heading home by 1pm. We usually arrive back at the Delafield store by 5pm at the latest.
Everyone is responsible for making their own motel or camping arrangements; there are a number of motels in the Black River Falls area, including a Days Inn, Super 8, Best Western. There is also a campground right at the lake, along with other campgrounds in the area.
Rental gear is available, but advance reservations are required. Sorry, we cannot transport and rental gear to and from the lake. There is a dive shop in Black River Falls for air fills.
The Lake assesses both a daily parking fee as well as a diving fee. For more details and to sign up, please call the Delafield store at 262-646-8283

Wakatobi, October 11-28, 2013
By request, we are headed back to Wakatobi, a private resort in Indonesia. In October 2009 we went to Wakatobi and once we all got home decided it was some of the best diving we had ever done. Unspoiled reefs, clouds of fish, all the macro life you can imagine, and the best service anywhere in the Pacific. This is truly a dream trip that is on every diver's bucket list.
Here are some details as we have them so far:
We are planning on all meeting in Los Angeles due to the fact we have many folks who prefer to use frequent flyer miles or points to help with expenses. We typically fly Singapore Air from LAX to Singapore, stay overnight in the transit hotel right inside Singapore's airport (Changi) and then catch the morning flight from Singapore to Bali. Wakatobi requires everyone to be in Bali at least one day early, to ensure all bags arrive, and everyone in the group is together. We will stay at the Kartika Plaza hotel in Bali, where we stayed the last time. It's a beautiful hotel with access to the ocean at the back of it's property.
The day we leave for Wakatobi, we will be transferred from the Kartika Plaza to the airport's private departure area for the private charter flight to Wakatobi. Upon arrival, we will be met be the staff from the resort who will transfer us and all bags to the resort via the dive boats. It's about a 20 minute boat ride, and quite scenic.
We have scheduled 10 days on-island at the resort.....here is the partial list of other inclusions:
- VIP greeting and assistance upon your arrival in Bali, Indonesia
- Your chosen resort accommodation
- All meals (delicious and highly varied multi-course chef-prepared meals and snacks)
- Three boat dives per day on our main boats
- House reef tender boat taxi service. (choose when and where you want to dive our famous house reef)
- Shore diving on World's Best House Reef - just walk in. Anytime.
- Multilingual Western, highly trained, instructor-level dive guides
- Tanks, weights and unlimited air refills
- A traditional village tour
- A reef protection and community development contribution.
- We provide 20MB of free broadband on arrival. More time may be purchased.
- In-room aromatherapy soaps and lotion
- In-room amenities such as minibar, coffee pot, towels and hair dryer and safe
- Afternoon turn-down service and, of course,
- daily housekeeping by our gentle and friendly crew
- Remoteness from the rest of the world, free of city lights and traffic
We have Select Bungalows reserved for our group, and are on a waiting list for other levels of accommodation should they arise.
Partial Trip Pricing:
Select Bungalow accommodations at Wakatobi, including round trip charter airfare from Bali to Wakatobi: $5100.00 per person cash or check. For Credit Card use, please add 3%.
We will have the LAX/Singapore/Bali airfare rate sometime in late 2012/early 2013 from Singapore Air as well as the rate for the Kartika Plaza Hotel in Bali. We are also planning extra days either in Bali or Singapore after our stay at Wakatobi which will be extra.
We are taking deposits now at the Delafield store, please call Colin at 262-646-8283 for more information. Or go to
