Event Information

Description

Join us in warm, sunny Key Largo for a 6-dive trip this January! 

Transportation

Arrive in Key Largo on 1/9 midday. Depart on 1/14 midday. 

Transportation is not included in the cost that you will pay to Hoofers. You will be required to coordinate transportation (flights or driving) on your own, but trip participants will coordinate flights to the same airport (Fort Lauderdale) or to drive together if desired. Transportation from the airport (Fort Lauderdale) to Key Largo will be provided. If you desire to fly into a different airport, you will be required to find your own transportation to Key Largo. If driving to Florida is desired by trip participants, University or rental vehicles can be reserved through Hoofers. 

Diving

Hoofers has planned 6 dives for the trip through a local dive shop in Key Largo. Each dive will be suitable to Open Water divers. Cost of dives is $180. Gear rentals are $75 for everything for the entire trip through the dive shop. If you would rather fly with your own gear, or rent gear from Hoofers and bring it, that is another option but the cost of bringing gear is up to you. You will be required to show proof of diving certification prior to leaving on the trip.

Housing

Housing will be provided through Hoofers at a hotel in Key Largo. Rooms will be shared with other participants. Cost of housing is $365 per person for 5 nights. Hoofer Scuba is not responsible for any incidental expenses that could occur. 

Food

Food is not included in the cost you will pay to Hoofers. We can only estimate that the cost of food will be about $100 for the week, but this can be subject to personal perference. Bring a personal card / money for food. Please notify us of any food allergies or dietary restrictions. 

Cancellation Policy & Rules

$375 is required upon sign-up and is non-refundable. The remaining $244 is required on December 21st and will be non-refundable afterwards. There will be an informational trip planning meeting on December 14th at 7 PM in Mendota Lodge for those who sign up before then to introduce trip participants and go over the required documents needed, the trip plan, expectations, and packing suggestions. If you cannot make this meeting, please let us know so we can schedule a separate time to meet. If you are unable to make the trip closer to the deadline due to extreme circumstances, please contact us and we will see what we can do surrounding costs. 

The PADI medical form and emergency contact form will need to be filled out and turned in before the trip.

Hoofers Scuba will try to offer a pool refresher dive time for participants to refresh their skills before the trip. This is not set in stone yet, but more information will be provided at a later date. 

The Hoofer Scuba Club trip leaders reserve the right to eject any trip member at the participant's expense if the member does not follow University policy, does not follow Florida state and federal laws, acts in an unsafe manner, does not follow dive safety protocols or causes unusual and undue problems for the trip leaders or other participants. Each participant is responsible for any incidental costs that may occur on the trip. 

Please reach out with any questions or concerns!
