Trips on the Schedule for 2010

The Belize trip was a great success, the Curacao trip was a blast, and the St. Lucia trip is going on right now. Husker Divers has all sorts of trips still to come in 2010, with some closer to home and others further afield. Check your calendar and see if one of these trips will work for you!

Bull Shoals, June 11-14. Bull Shoals offers something for everyone, whether you're a brand new diver needing your open water dives for certification or you're an experienced diver looking for fun and adventure. We dive from pontoon boats during the day, with multiple dives per day at a variety of sites.

Nassau, Bahamas July 17-21. This is a closer-to-home trip than our winter Caribbean trips, and features stellar diving. It's also a bit shorter trip, so you can make a long weekend of it and not have to schedule a whole week away.

Oahe Reservior, Pierre, South Dakota, August 6-9 and August 13-16. This trip has become so popular that we've taken two groups to South Dakota for the past few years! During the day you'll dive and spearfish from pontoon boats. At night, drop in to the Missouri River in the tailrace (the water flowing out of the dam) and let the current carry you downstream while your dive light shows you all the fish!

La Paz, Mexico, October 16-23. This is the trip to take if you want to play with sea lions and see lots of other larger marine life!

Cozumel, Mexico, January 22-29, 2011. Cozumel is a premier dive spot, and we're excited to be returning there! This trip is on the books, but details are still to be finalized. Stay tuned!

Dominica, February 19-27, 2011. This is a beautiful place to dive, and we're also super excited to be returning there! This trip is also on the books and awaiting finalization of details, so stay tuned!

New Trips Added to the 2010 Schedule!

Husker Divers is your one-stop dive travel shop, whether you're looking for a destination or gear for your trip. For this summer, we've recently added two new destinations to the lineup.

Stuart's Cove, Nassau, Bahamas, July 17-21, 2010: This fun island has a variety of great dives for you to experience. Try one of several wall dives. Explore a shallow reef. Check out the 200' freighter sunk in 35-50 feet of water, making it accessible even to new divers!

We'll be staying at the Orange Hill Inn, which is a quiet, country-style resort that was once an orange orchard plantation.

This trip package includes four nights at the Orange Hill Inn; Bahamas government taxes for hotels, hotel gratuities and maid service fees; three days of 2 tank dives; transportation to and from Stuart's Cove, and tanks, weights, and weight belt. An optional afternoon shark dive is available for an additional fee.

Not included in the package price are: airfare to Nassau (you can get some really good internet deals, but please contact us for help arranging your airfare if needed. Keep in mind that if you will dive on the third day, your flight cannot be scheduled to depart Nassau before noon on Wednesday), diving on arrival or departure day, meals, optional divemaster tips, and airport transfers.

Diver price is just $570 based on double occupancy. A $100 deposit reserves your spot.

La Paz, Mexico, October 16-23, 2009: Experience some of the world's most incredible diving! October is the season for the migration of thousands of whales and dolphins. We've seen bottlenose dolphins, spinner dolphins, pilot whales, giant manta rays, baby rays, whale sharks, and hammerhead sharks.

Package includes round trip airfare from Omaha to Cabo; round trip bus transfer from Cabo to Club Cantamar; seven nights at Club Cantamar; five days of 3-tank boat dives; breakfast each morning and lunch on dive days and hotel taxes. Nitrox is available for an extra fee.

The price per diver is $1,750, and for non-divers it's $1,476. Price is based on double occupancy and is subject to any tax increases. A deposit of $300 reserves your spot.

If you want to see the "big stuff," this is the trip for you!
