OFFICIAL NOTICE !!!
Effective immediately Ocean Explorers, our students, customers and friends are no longer participating in the current global economic slowdown. We have had enough! Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, and divers gotta dive! So that’s just what we’re doingHere is a list of dive events for the Spring and Summer:
MAY3-10 we will be in Bonaire. Always rated one of the best dive destinations in the Caribbean. Large schools of fish, seahorses, frogfish and unlimited beach diving make this a perfect place for U/W photos. We stay at thePlaza Resort. We have the direct flight from Newark to Bonaire.
MAY 23-26, over the Memorial Day weekend we will be going back to the Florida Keys. If you missed the November trip here’s your chance to join us.
JULY3-5 will take us to the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Our annual Wreck Diving trip to North Carolina. Start your collection of Sand Tiger Shark teeth.

SEPTEMBER 4-6 Ride to the Wrecks This year’s ride is to the St. Lawrence Seaway.
JANUARY 23-30, 2001 Survivor Costa Rica. Once again we will be wrangling wild broncos, leaping off 100’ cliffs, attempting land speed records on ATV’s, challenging the dreaded Devil Fish, and braving the scalding volcanic waters of the jungle hot springs. If you have the “Right Stuff” sigh up for this adventure.
