Just came across a brochure I did for dive trips I was running back in 1982. Not exactly politically correct commentary but I had fun. Thought I'd share. All photos taken by me.

Me neither, that's why I put groups together and used the free spot for myself
Pretty much all of my clients were from California. Didn't exactly have the internet to advertise on.It is also interesting that you arranged all the airfare (from LA).
Pics are not of me, but I did take them. Also, I did use a Stab Jacket during that time frame- didn't everybody?If those are pictures of you, it looks like you were wearing a Scubapro Stab jacket.
Yup!I totally miss the reefs from 40 years ago.

We have six full days of diving with two boat dives each
day and an unlimited amount of air for beach dives .
Directly in front of the HABIT AT is an unbelievable array
of corals and sea life with a sloping wall that extends
downward to 100' plus depths . Immediately opposite
HABIT AT is the island of Klein Bonaire where a majority
of our boat dives will take place. We do , however, have
occasional journeys up and down the coast to other,
equally lush , dive sites. Klein Bonaire boasts some of the
largest sponges seen in the area and the sight of Black
Coral trees 4 to 5 feet high with stalks the diameter of
your arm are equally impressive . Dive boats leave directly
from HABITAT's own dock.
A highly accurate statement
Anywhere from 10 to 25.Roughly how many divers used to travel with you?
Absolutely! One free ticket for every ten paid plus 10% off everyone's fare if you had at least 15 people. I delt mainly with Western Airlines and Continental, but others too.Did the airlines used to do any group deals back then?

Perhaps not politically correct, but how many dive trips include a scene from Hamlet performed underwater!?ScubaLawyer wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2019 8:57 pm..... Not exactly politically correct commentary but I had fun. Thought I'd share. All photos taken by me.

My logo alone cost a bloody mint. Today I could whip it up on my computer in a minute. Times have certainly changed.
No problem Bill, send me $3,500 and I'll get you on the 1982 Truk trip. Promise.antique diver wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 1:39 pmGreat! Thanks for sharing that part of your diving history.
Is it too late to sign up for a Truk trip?
I trust you since you are a lawyer and all that... but can I just pay you when my brother straightens up, after I go on the trip?ScubaLawyer wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2019 2:06 pmNo problem Bill, send me $3,500 and I'll get you on the 1982 Truk trip.
