Dive operations can't afford to let hurricanes put clients off. So the Aggressor liveaboard fleet is implementing a 'Storm-check' policy, whereby if a captain is forced to evacuate guests to safety ashore because of a named tropical storm or hurricane, the divers receive a credit of equal value for any days of diving missed. Similarly, Amy Slate's Amoray Dive Resort at Key Largo in Florida is offering 'Risk-Free Hurricane Season Reservations'. If a storm disrupts your stay, you get credited for a future trip. Amoray is also offering coral-spawning dives over three nights about a week after the August full moon - you get a dive, tank and weights and a lecture and slide show for $75. |
