As of the date of this plan, Dive Pirates has led or participated in 3 tropical dive trips for our recipients.  A brief description of each:

April 2005—Brac Reef Beach Resort and Reef Divers, Cayman Brac, Cayman Islands. 
5 recipients were taken for a week to this terrific dive destination along with 10 other mainstream divers and supporters.  After witnessing the success of our adaptive divers and our program, Brac Reef and Reef Divers asked to be the exclusive dive resort for Dive Pirates.  The accommodations and boats are ideally suited for amputees and wheel chairs.  Dive Pirates agreed and Brac Reef began specific marketing campaigns to publicize our cooperation.

December 2005—Tavernier Divers, Florida Keys, USA
Stacey Minton and her staff took 4 spinal cord injured divers for a 5 day certification trip in preparation for the Cody Unser/Dive Pirate Scuba Adventure slated for June 2006.  All 4 divers and their buddies were certified even though weather and water temperatures were not exactly tropical.  Their success was proof of Stacey’s training program and the dedication of instructors and buddies.

June 2006—Stuart Cove Diving, Nassau, Bahamas
Dive Pirates was asked to join the Cody Unser 2nd Great Scuba Adventure that was also sponsored by the Christopher Reeve Association.  Eight Adaptive Divers from throughout the US were joined by their buddies, instructors and a strong group of other divers and supporters for a 5 day trip that included wreck diving and shark feeding.  The trip had 61 travelers, 46 divers, 8 adaptive divers and used 3 dive boats.  The trip was successful because of lots of hard work by the staff of Stuart Cove and the participants on the trip.
