THE CHANCE TO SNORKEL WITH BIG WHALES!

ICELAND EXPEDITION 28TH -31ST JULY

The final prices have been negotiated and are as follows:

The plan is to get a total of 12 divers. There are 2 confirmed definites already who have signed up and commited the money!
So that leaves a maximum of 10 places for this exped.

The departure date is Friday 28th July 2006.

Flights can be booked independantly or via the cheapest option I have found which is www.icelandexpress.com

(Between £50 and £80 each way)

Arrive Rejkjavik Friday 28th
Collected and transported to B&B accomodation.
3 nights B&B accomodation in Reykjavik about 10-15 mins walk from harbour.

Saturday 29th July collected from accomodation > harbour

Full day out on 44ft long boat Gestur out to whale grounds to search for whales Minke Humpback etc.. see the operator who has agreed to work with us:

Snorkel with whales once located. Zodiac will also be used.

Return to harbour transfer to accomodation.

Sunday 30th July collected from accomodation > harbour

Full day out on 44ft long boat Gestur out to whale grounds to search for whales Minke / Humpback etc.. Snorkel with whales once located. Zodiac will also be used.

Return to harbour transfer to accomodation.

Monday 31st July transfer to airport > Home.

The price is inclusive of weights IF you would like them... bring your own weight belt..

Divers wishing to hire drysuits can do so for an additional £27 per day diving. (i.e total £54).

The cost is simply split between 12 people.

£320pp based on 2 sharing (add £60 if you need a single room) + flights (includes accomodation 3 nights B&B, boat & crew for 2 days to whale grounds off shore, weights & transfers)

Flights are likely to total £120 pp.

This will give a total cost of about £440 per person.

If people just wish to book a place on the boat and transfers they can and the cost will be £190 per person.

You would then have to arrange your own accomodation / flights.

Weights are £9 per day per person.

I am open to suggestions by those wishing to partake is this adventure.
All costs are transparent. There's no profit in it for me!!! Just a straight split between those going.

DRYSUITS ONLY. COMPETENT SNORKELLERS ONLY.

Names to me asap to confirm interest and secure provisional place.
