Welcome to the new DFL Registration Platform.
A couple of important items.
There are a very limited number of single rooms but many of the rooms available can be configured with an extra bed, if needed.
If you are rooming with someone, you should have identified that person before registration. You can register two or more people at the same time. However, you can only use ONE credit card for the form of payment and it's your responsibility to collect any monies from that person on the backend.
If you are registering only for one individual in a double or triple room, all others must register within 2 weeks of the first registration or your registration may be cancelled. To register only one or more individuals at a time, you will see a pull down menu with numbers from 1 - X for reach room. If you select 1, then you will register just one person. If you select 2, then you will register 2 people at once and pay for 2 people as well.
Once you've selected a room and you know that you will NOT want to share beds, you will be asked in the next step of this process to provide that information so that we can insure you get a room that can support your request.
You will be charged any applicable credit card fees, typically 3% or you can avoid charges by using ACH.
To book and pay for extra nights before or after the DFL event, please send the resort an email to info@subculturetravel.com and copy jamboree@divingforlife.com and communicate that you are with the DFL group. Since there are already other bookings before and/or after our group booking, there is a limited amount of rooms available to choose from.. There are numerous other dive resorts and operations which can be found via google.
Since 1992, DFL books a dedicated resort for a life affirming week of LGBTQ+ diving, entertainment and camaraderie. The proceeds of the event are donated to charitable organizations designated by local dive clubs. Thanks to Diving For Life Jamborees, LGBTQ+ Scuba Divers from around the globe have helped to raise OVER $1.5 MILLION dollars!! for people living with AIDS and other Lesbian and Gay health concerns. So join us!
