The Radisson Kauai Beach Resort, a deluxe hotel located on a three-mile stretch of beach on Kauai’s “Coconut Coast,” has introduced a unique new package designed for travelers who want to explore the undersea world in Kauai’s tropical waters and obtain their scuba certification. In conjunction with Wet-N-Wonderful Ocean Sports Inc., the resort now offers the Kauai Scuba Adventure Package, combining hotel accommodations and amenities with a scuba certification program for novice divers.

The Kauai Scuba Adventure Package includes five nights accommodations in a Deluxe Pool View room, a PADI scuba certification program for two people, airport shuttle transportation to and from the hotel, invitation to a nightly Manager’s Cocktail Party,  nightly torchlighting ceremony and Polynesian dance show, and complimentary tennis on the hotel’s four courts. The five-night package is priced at $1,195 for two people and is valid for travel through December 20, 2004.  The package price is based on double occupancy and is subject to applicable taxes. Full payment is required 7 days prior to arrival, and the package cannot be combined with any other discount or special offer. The Kauai Scuba Adventure Package is based on availability, and all rules and regulations stipulated by Wet-N-Wonderful Ocean Sports Inc. apply.
