Houston Underwater Photographic Society Presents

Dive Travel for the 21st Century
Saturday Aug. 6th, 2011

Ken Knezick offers this one-of-a-kind presentation based on the knowledge acquired over a lifetime of hard traveling - a crystallization of Ken's more than thirty-five years of international travel experience. Keeping the message timely, this presentation is continually updated to reflect recent changes in the airport and international travel experience. The audience is invited to learn from Ken's (many) mistakes, resulting in a presentation equally humorous and informative. Audience participation is encouraged throughout, enabling all participants to benefit from their shared experiences.

Topics of discussion will include:

+  Selecting the dive destinations that best meet your needs and interests
+  Finding the best values in dive travel
+  Making your airline, hotel and diving reservations stick
+  Latest documentation requirements for international travel
+  Understanding and living with checked baggage regulations
+  How to pack for a dive trip…without resorting to containerized shipping
+  Traveling with underwater photo equipment
+  Minimizing the arduous aspects of lodging flights
+  Once at your destination, avoiding trouble in paradise
+  Staying on the good side of your dive operator
+  Dive boat etiquette and general tips for safe diving
+  The art of tipping to insure proper service
+  Coming home again…with great memories and minimum hassles

Any other questions please let me know.
