 Blackbeards 2022 Scuba Survey


This survey is to determine initial interest in the Troop 2000 Scuba High Adventure for the summer of 2022. It is non-binding at this point, but will assist in planning. We've put a deposit on the whole boat sailing July 23, 2022 from Nassau in the Bahamas. If you're not already certified, you would need to be by then if you want to dive (DiVentures is a great option). The ballpark cost on that would be $600. If you're not, you could still attend and snorkel. The overall cost of the trip will depend on airfare but would be around $2,200. Parents and siblings can also attend. There are 18 bunks on the boat (rumor has it you could fit 2 on some of them, but...). Scouts need to be 14 or older on 7/23/22 to attend without a parent.

Here is a link to a flyer for the group that just returned from there: Venturing Crew 2016 Iowa City / Coralville , Iowa: Blackbeard's Scuba Diving Trip July 30th to August 6th, 2021 (crew2016bsa.blogspot.com)
