When you travel with Reef Seekers, all you need to do is get yourself to
LAX (well, after you've paid us for the trip of course). Then turn off your brain (within
reason) because we'll take
it from there. All of our trips are escorted, usually by Reef
Seekers owner Ken Kurtis, so that you don't have to deal
with the minutia and hassles of putting together a vacation. (The idea is for
you to relax.) Generally, the prices you see quoted include airfare, diving,
meals for live-a-boards (some of the land-based trips also include meals), airport
transfers, and crew tip/gratuity. Prices quoted are cash or check.
Credit cards are okay but will be billed at a slightly higher rate.
To get the exact details on a specific trip, either e-mail
Ken or call him at 310/652-4990.

|
This is going to be one of those
fun trips that when you hear us ranting and raving about what a
good time we had, you'll be saying, "Why didn't I go on
that???" Well, you still can.
We'll fly into Orlando on Sunday, February 10, and drive down to
crystal River. Monday we'll spend the morning snorkeling with the
manatees who winter in Crystal River, and in the afternoon, we'll
explore the Rainbow River during a leisurely drift dive down it's
length. On Tuesday, we'll spend the full day on crystal River,
seeing the manatees and exploring some dive sites. Wednesday,
we'll head north to Williston to explore some deep caverns there
and then continue on to the High Springs area. That means that on
Thursday, we can spend the entire day at Ginnie Springs, exploring
as much of that special place as we can stand. We'll wrap up on
Friday by heading (literally) into the woods of north central
Florida to find such places as Orange Grove Sink, Troy Springs,
and others.
Cost of the whole thing is $1395 (cash or check - credit card
slightly higher). That covers a shared vehicle for the week
(with gas), the hotels, boats at crystal River, all entrance
fees, tanks & weights, a few breakfasts, airport transfers, and
tips. You can arrange airfare on your own (many people are using
miles) or through us.

| SOCORRO
ISLAND - April 6-15 ($3195 plus airfare) |

 |
Wanna have some Manta Rays pester
you? Wanna see some hammerheads? Wanna spend a week 300+ miles south
of Cabo, enjoying some incredible diving??? Then you'd better join
us for this one.
We're going to spend a glorious nine days on the Nautilus Explorer
seeing all that the Revillagigedos have to offer. To quote their
website: "These islands are famous for very close,
extraordinary and intimate interaction with giant mantas. We know of
no other place in the world where mantas seek out interaction with
humans the way they do here. The shark diving here isn't bad
either!"
Some people are using miles so we've priced this one without
airfare. Our cost covers your diving, meals on board, crew tip, park
fee, and airport transfers. We've only reserved 12 spots (half the
boat) so make sure you don't get left behind.

BONAIRE
- May 17-25 (includes Atlanta stopover and one day at the Georgia
Aquarium - $2595) |

|
Bonaire offers the best of both boat
and shore diving and we'll exploit them to the fullest during our
stay at Buddy Dive Resort. We'll be doing at least two boat dives
daily, and we'll also have time (and vehicles) to search out some of
Bonaire's best shore dives as well. Plus, we'll have a chance to
observe the flamingoes that flock to the island as well as the
friendly and curious native burros of Bonaire. Our dives will allow
us to explore Klein Bonaire, and also visit such sites as the Hilma
Hooker, Rappel, Andrea I & II, Angel City, Larry's Lair (a
favorite from our last trip), the Salt Pier, and many more. The
diving is easy, wonderful, and memorable. Makes plans to join us.
Price includes airfare, transfers, double-occupancy 1- or 2-bedroom
apartment, breakfast daily, all diving, use of a vehicle (one per
room), most taxes, and DM/crew/staff tip.

| YAP
- July11-20 ($1995 plus airfare - approx. another $2200) |
 |
To say that we love both Yap is an understatement. This will be our 5th trip to
the region and we wouldn't keep going back if the diving and the
experience wasn't good. Once we arrive in Yap (yes, it takes a
loooong time to get there - but it's a direct flight), we'll be settling in
at the Manta Ray Bay Hotel, which has got to be the nicest dive
resort in the world. e love the facility, the diving, and - as
importantly - the staff.. During our dives, we'll seek out Mantas and Madarinfish
and plenty in between. We'll also do a shark feed and enjoy some
incredible macro dives. Plus, there's Stone Money!!! All in
all, it will be a memorable trip and one you won't want to miss.

INDONESIA
(Sulawesi) - August 30 - SEPTEMBER 12
(Land pkg $1900 - plus airfare, including 2-day Singapore stopover) |

|
We haven't been back here since 2005
and that's simply been too long. So in August (exact dates still TBA)
we're going to trek on back for another fascinating week plus diving
with our friends at Murex Dive Resort. We'll spend many days
exploring the wonders of Bunaken marine Park and we'll also spend
one day diving the incredible Lembeh Straits, where you will likely
see more amazing macro creatures (including Pygmy Seahorses) that
you ever thought possible in one place. It's a really nicely-paced
trip and you'll come back not only full of great stories to tell
your friends, but you'll be relaxed too. We'll be ending the trip
with a 2-day stopover in Singapore so that we have time to explore
one of the most fascinating (and modern) of Asian cities. Give us a
call to get signed up for this one.

| SEA
OF CORTEZ - October 11-18, 2008 ($2695 - SOLD OUT) |

 |
This year will mark our 21st time heading south to La Paz, Baja Sur.
The diving can be spectacular, the crew of the Don Jose takes
phenomenally good care of us, and it's just an all-around great
experience. We're actually starting off with a half-day 10/12) of
looking for Whales Sharks just outside of La Paz Harbor. Then
we board the Don Jose, leave Monday morning, and will start off at the
Fang Ming, which was simply an
incredibly fishy dive in 2007. The it's on to Los Islotes and some of the most amazing sea
lion encounters in the world. We'll also make stops at Las Animas
(where the Pinnacles is a world-class breath-taking journey through
countless schools of fish), El Bajo, Suwannee Reef, and
wherever else our whims may dictate. During the trip, we might see
hammerheads, manta rays, dolphins, marlin, squid, jawfish, and who
knows what else? In the Sea of Cortez, you
simply never know what might be lurking around the corner. And
because we're on a boat the whole time, we get to places out of
reach of the day boats of La Paz and dive areas that few
divers get to experience.
