If you missed the party with Alex and Mark from the Masterfleet you missed an awesome event. But if you attended, you may remember that we had some auction items but Sam and Dive Mom forgot to set out the bid sheets. So, everything is still up for auction until March 31, 2023!
So, how do you win one of the items? It is simple, think about your bid, send Dive Mom an email with “Bid for an awesome item “ along with the item description in the subject line and tell her what you would like to bid for the certificate or one of the other items. . So you know, there is a reserve on some of the items and Dive Mom cannot tell you what others are bidding. The bidding period opens 1 March 2023 and ends 31 March 2023.
Here are the items that are available for you to bid on…
Mark & Alex have donated a Gift Certificate that can be used for future bookings on trips or for on-board purchases. This is your opportunity to get a head start on future dive travel — remember we said new and future so this excludes our current year’s travel destinations. But what a way to jump into 2024!
