Product Details
Experience the magic of the Caribbean island nation of Dominica during a week long training retreat! This is a training retreat, OPEN ONLY TO STUDENTS WHO HAVE ALREADY completed their full PFI Intermediate certification class with SoCal Spear-It. It includes ACCOMMODATION, PLATFORM/TRAINING FEES, AND SELECT MEALS. Instructor, Lance Lee Davis, will be present but this is not a class--this is a training retreat and any instructors present will be there and available for consultation but also conducting their own training. Divers will wear their own lanyards and safety each other in rotation, as is custom everywhere in the world in a freedive training meet-up. To participate you must carry your own Divers Alert Network insurance policy.
Lodging will be spread across two spacious apartments of 6 total bedrooms, with no more than 2 students per bedroom (you can have your own room for an extra $200 and even bring a non-diving guest to stay in your room). We'll be in the village of Soufriere, which is short walking distance to our training site and small cafes and markets. There are direct flights to Dominica, from Miami, via American Airlines with round trip tickets from LAX in the neighborhood of $1000. Spearfishing is excellent on Dominica but Soufriere is in a marine preserve so only lionfish may be taken there. Several guides and captains on the island do run affordable charters, and we can provide recommendations. Note, if you opt to pay extra for a private room and also bring a non-diving guest, any meals and excursions are NOT included for your guest.
