Huron Scuba has the hottest ticket in snorkeling and diving - a GUARANTEED in-water encounter with whale sharks!

The Huron Scuba Dive Team is planning a weekend excursion to the Georgia Aquarium the weekend of November 14-16. Located in Atlanta, it is the world's largest aquarium with, among other many other exhibits and creatures, WHALESHARKS. We have arranged for our dive team to snorkel and scuba dive during that weekend in that aquarium with those four whalesharks. We are also planning a hosted dinner event on that Saturday evening within the aquarium. There will be a "Behind the Scenes Tour" as well.

As of this printing there are just a few spots remaining for this unique encounter: 2 diver spaces available Thursday at 3pm and 3 spaces available for Friday at 3pm or 4:30pm.

The Details: You may snorkel or scuba dive with four whalesharks so long as you are twelve years old (must be scuba certified to dive). We have reserved and paid for 20 spaces (16 scuba and 4 snorkel). These spaces will go to the first people that make the reservation through Huron Scuba. We are allowed to bring into the water only a personal swimsuit and a prescription mask if needed; the aquarium provides everything else. Given that it took us six weeks to put together these arrangements, it's unlikely we will be able to add more spaces. We have two groups of six divers each, with the programs starting at 3pm, 4:30pm on Friday, November 14. There is a group of four divers on Thursday (requires one extra night hotel $175 total). When you reserve, pick your space within those three groups. For snorkeling, those spaces are on Saturday afternoon at 4:30pm.

Packages will include:

• Annual Pass for unlimited visits to Georgia Aquarium
• Behind the Scenes Tour Round-trip shuttle from airport to hotel and back
• Two nights with two paying people in room (a.k.a. "double occupancy") at Embassy Suites Centennial Olympic Park with breakfasts included
• Special catered banquet meal within the aquarium
• One session of snorkeling or scuba diving with whalesharks

Packages prices:

• $625 for Adult Divers
• $525 for Adult Snorkelers
• $335 for Adults not wishing to enter the water with whalesharks
• $339 for children 12-16 yrs. old sharing a room with two paying adults and snorkeling with whalesharks
• $439 for children 12-16 yrs. old sharing a room with two paying adults and scuba diving with whalesharks

• For 3d or 4th person sharing a room, ask for pricing. If 3d or 4th person is 17 or 18 years old, add $23 per night to above children packages.

Please understand that this is our first trip to this special location. We have tried to anticipate and negotiate everything to help provide an awesome, complete, reasonable package for everyone. There may be changes but we believe we have designed a great trip with everything included except for airfare and a few meals. What you may not know, and we didn't know until starting the planning for this trip, is that a weekend journey to Atlanta can be really cool with an abundance of choices! We will be staying at the Embassy Suites - Centennial Olympic Park right in the middle of terrific stuff and adjacent to Georgia's Aquarium. Most of the following are within walking distance or a short drive:  

• Fernbank Museum of Natural History
• Atlanta Botanical Garden
• World of Coca Cola Museum
• Imagine It! - Children's Museum of Atlanta
• Underground Atlanta
• Carter Presidential Center
• Georgia Dome - Home of the Atlanta Falcons against Denver Broncos November 16 at 1pm
• Martin Luther King Historic Site
• Zoo Atlanta

Atlanta is a lively, interesting city with an incredible variety of opportunities for fun during this weekend. That being said, it's been said that it can take two days to truly experience the enormity of this aquarium. If you want to add more time in Atlanta for additional experiences, contact us for arrangements for extra nights.

We are excited to bring this unique opportunity to the Huron Scuba Dive Team, and hope that you can join us!  

Payment in full is required to reserve your spot. Trip price is non-refundable unless your space is resold resulting in a full trip.
