New forum request

[Rob Smith]

I know we have a Dive Trips and Resorts forum, how about a place where we can list Charters by area and hotels, campgrounds with contact info and possible directions? Locations of hospitals and the nearest DC chambers so forth?

Hi Rob, we were discussing just that earlier today. We are just trying to figure out the best way to do it so it isn't a mishmash of information. Make it easy to look at.

Hey Rob,

Here is our quick off the top of our head list:

Great Lakes Charter Operators


http://www.osprey-dive.com/index.cfm

http://www.rockportdivecentre.com/

http://www.islanddiver.ca/

http://www.northerntechdiver.com/charters.php

http://www.scubaplus.ca/charters.htm

http://www.dansdiveshop.ca/

http://www.aquaholic.ca/html/gallery.html

We want to add more and make it a bit nicer with a bit more information. Rob if you (or anyone else) sees a missing charter operator on this list let us know.

Once we figure out the format we will make a sticky post and pretty it up.

Serge.

Hi guys, I work for Scuba Plus helping out while I finish my DM cert, and am on the boat most weekends in the summer. If anyone has any questions about charters with us, please feel free to ask me, and I'll help out in any way I can. I was just over at the shop owner's house last night, helping with the 2009 schedule, and will get that posted as soon as it's finalized.

Cheers,
Jim

Perhaps there could just be a couple of sections for different areas within the Dive Trips and Resorts section. That way there aren't a hundred different forums?

Ya Chan we are not going to have a forum for every operator. Really it's going to be a locked sticky in say the trips forum or something similar.

A request to an admin to update the information is how we will handle changes and we will update the sticky.

That way it's 1 spot for all the info and hopefully easy to use and read.

Perfect idea....

I'd like to suggest adding the name of the contact person on the forum here, assuming of course that there is someone from a given charter operation that is active here on the forum.

We'll make it pertty...(its meant to be spelt that way). Thanks for the suggestions and additions though. Now that some work schedules are back into full swing we'll try to get this done soon.
