Bahamas Trek in 2022
Are you looking for a high adventure that is more like a vacation? We have just that! An entire week living and sailing the Xuma cays while scuba diving. Water temperatures around 88 degrees, warm breezes, and beautiful reefs and fish.
We will be living on a 65’ sailboat with air conditioning below deck and the Caribbean above. All meals and snacks are included. I have sailed with them before, didn’t lose an ounce even with all the swimming and diving. We will have the opportunity to get in 18 dives that will include wreck dives, shark dive, drift dives and much more. You will also have the opportunity to earn your advanced open water certification or one of several PADI specialties.
If this sounds like the adventure for you register today! Questions - contact Jefri Jones.
Note - Scouts that are considering participating in the 2022 Trek should sign up for SCUBA during summer camp in 2021 so they can "Be Prepared" by learning the basic skills needed.
Troop 246 Sea Base Scuba Adventure - Two Spots Available
Troop 246 from Northern Sky District is going to Florida in August and has two spots available. This could be two Scouts or one Scout and one adult.
The trip will be August 15-22, 2021. This is a seven-night, eight-day adventure. We expect to do two dives per day.
The Florida Keys are home to the only coral barrier reef in North America. If you are a certified diver, this program is for you. From our fleet of custom built Newton Dive Specials you will explore coral reefs, discover wrecks, underwater rock formations, and scuba dive alongside the over 6,000 organisms and underwater wildlife found in the Florida National Marine Sanctuary.
During this adventure (weather permitting) you will make as many as 11 dives, including a night dive. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to take part in evening Project Aware courses and conduct REEF Environmental Education fish surveys. Accommodations are in air conditioned dormitories overlooking the Florida Bay with great meals in the Sea Base galley. The diving equipment supplied for this adventure is new and state of the art. Medical restrictions apply.
The cost of the trip is $8800.00 plus a $400 Covid surcharge for the group, divided equally between a maximum of 8 participants, plus airfare, hotels, spending money for additional meals and attractions.
