ANNUAL WEST PALM BEACH TRIP

JUNE 27TH – JULY 1ST, 2019

West Palm Beach is known as America’s First Resort Destination, established in 1894. Scuba Diving and Snorkeling in West Palm Beach took a little bit longer. Because of the Gulf Stream currents along the coast, West Palm Beach was one of the first areas in Florida to establish drift diving. West Palm Beach now offers great reef and wreck dives.

Drift Diving, also nicknamed “Valet Diving” is extremely popular. South Florida’s reef tract is linear and the warm Gulfstream current flows parallel to the shoreline creating perfect drift diving conditions. Unlike many dive destinations that make you swim out and back to the boat, with drift diving they simply drop you in with a flag and you drift until you are ready to surface, then pick you up.

Advantages to Drift Diving:

* Less stressful

* Explore more reef

* See more marine life

* More bottom time

* More Freedom

INCLUDES:

• 4 Nights Hilton Singer Island Hotel
• 3 Days of diving with Walkers Dive Charters (8 total dives)
• Tanks & Weights

NOT INCLUDED:

• Transportation
• Meals
• Dive Equipment (Excluding tanks & weights)
• Gratuities

TRIP COST: $825.00

Deposit $200
