SAILING/FREEDIVING TRIP IN TURKEY

Dates:
1st to 7th of August 2012.
For the moment the dates are still changeable, depending on the wishes of our guests. In case of more bookings we can also reserve the boat for the following week (8th to 14th).

Where:
We leave from Marmaris’ marina and we sail around
the Datca peninsula. To get to Marmaris you can fly
to either Bodrum (70 km away) or Dalaman 50 km away). We can arrange your airport pick up for 60 euro. We will sail to a new destination for 1 to 3 hours every day.

Crew:
Linda as Freediving instructor/ coach/ safety/ deckhand (boat slave).
Sigi as skipper. Sigi lives in Dahab but bought the boat in Turkey to escape the heat during the Egyptian summers, and we think it was a very good idea! She has been sailing since 2008 and of course she has a sailing license.

Boat:
The sailing boat is 10.5m long and the max number of freedivers we can take onboard with us is 4.

Freediving:
Max depth available - around 60 meters.
We will be able to do 2 freediving sessions per day. We can either do training in the
morning and fun diving in the afternoon or just concentrate on line diving all day.
We take freedivers at all levels as long as they have done at least a beginner course in the past or they have a good Freediving background.

Meals:
Meals are not included in the package price. However, we will all contribute to fill the cupboards with food before leaving the marina and we can cook breakfast and lunch onboard. For dinners we can go to local restaurants since most of the evenings we will
moor on a jetty in secluded bays.
Expected price for a meal in such restaurants is 10/20 euro.

Equipment:
Guests must have their own equipment. We will however provide buoys, ropes and
bottom weights.

Prices:
If 2 people join: 650 euro/person
If 3 people join: 600 euro/person
If 4 people join: 500 euro/person
Minimum number of freedivers required is 2.

ACCOMMODATION

For our events and packages we use the Canyon Estate Hotel. The Hotel is situated at the Canyon area, on the way to the Blue Hole,
at 5 km from our shop and Dahab bay. Of course you can book you accommodation through us even if you don't participate to one
of the above poackages, but for example you only do a course. In this case, the price for the rooms starts from 20/25€ (single/double
room). It is a very nice and new hotel with italian management, on the seafront and has a very nice 25 meters pool (which we use to run
most of our courses).

If you have special preferences for you accommodation, you are welcome to book your own hotel.
