I have put together a tropical dive trip over Thanksgiving for members
of 2 dive clubs plus friends.  It is only about 6 weeks off and we still
have a few spaces left.  SO...  this is your opportunity to make a 
last minute decision to go on a great LIVEABOARD dive trip plus see
one of the best preserved Mayan cities in Central America. We have
singles as well as couples, so don't worry if you don't have a buddy
to go with.

       THIS IS A 9-DAY FULLY(*) INCLUSIVE TROPICAL DIVE TRIP
          INCLUDING A VISIT TO THE RUINS OF A MAYAN CITY

Join us for a great liveaboard dive trip from the beautiful,
verdant island of Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras over
THANKSGIVING '92. We have chartered the M.V. "Isla Mia", a 75'
liveaboard dive boat for a week of unlimited wall and reef diving
in one of the best (but least known) areas of the Caribbean.
Visibility is typically 60-100 ft, with water about 80 degrees.
Gung-ho divers can easily get in 25 or more dives, while others
may choose to relax on the sundecks and contemplate the tropical
paradise ashore on the volcanic islands.

At the end of the week we go by plane and bus into rural Honduras to
visit the ancient Mayan city of Copan, where ongoing archaeological
studies continue to unearth knowledge about the Mayan civilization.

The trip includes the best of both worlds:  5 1/2  Dive Days
    PLUS  3 1/2  days of land activities.

Diving in the Bay Islands of Honduras has been growing in popularity
over the last few years, but is still not widely known.  It has been
rated by some widely-travelled divers as one of the best locations in
the Caribbean, "...even better than Belize."  And the boat we have
chartered is rated by Norbert Wu, a well-known underwater photographer
and marine biologist, as "one of the best liveaboard dive boats I have
been on."  So come experience the best of the Bay Islands before they
are dived out.

The price of $1,749 includes ALMOST EVERYTHING (*) on the trip:
   >   Round trip airfare from San Francisco to Roatan
   >   7 nights on the M.V. Isla Mia dive boat in air-conditioned
           twin-share cabins with portholes
   >   All meals on the Isla Mia
   >   5 1/2 days of unlimited diving from the Isla Mia with use of
           tanks, weight belts & weights
   >   Transportation between San Pedro Sula & Copan
   >   Overnight hotel in the village of Copan Ruinas & most meals
   >   Guided tour of Mayan ruins & museum at Copan

Compare this to typical land-based dive trips where meals, extra dives
and miscellaneous expenses can easily increase the cost by 50% or more
above quoted "package" prices.  By reserving for a group, we are 
offering this trip at this great low price (over $200 less than normal
prices.)  There are only a few spaces left, so don't delay.
