I hope everyone is doing great. Just a quick update. We currently have 6 divers reserved with deposit paid. There are at least 4 other people who are likely to sign up the next few weeks. Our package deal was for 8-15 people, so we will need to get at least two more to make our minimum head count. I’m not worried that we will, but of course, it would be great to have a gang of 12-15 going. So spread the word.
Atlantis Resorts put me in touch with the US rep. for Philippine Airlines and he send me the following on their currently available fare:

Of course, this is not guaranteed for the long-term, but I thought I’d share the info. with you.
Our first deadline is October 16th when the first payment is due. (the second and final payment is due February 16, 2026).
On November 16 we will need to “release” any unused rooms. We will still be able to add folks to the trip, but subject to availability.
I’ll send out another reminder in the next couple of weeks or sooner if there are some other developments. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to me.
