Caribbean cones

[karen vanderven]

Dear David,

I am a new member of your Shell Forum, and have enjoyed it and seeing you on Conch-L.

I am writing to ask your advice and help on behalf of myself and several other shellers.

Several years ago I read with great interest an account you wrote of a diving trip you
took to the Grenadines and have looked this up again, appreciating the text and the
photos.

A small group of us (4) who are divers (we have dived together on other trips in the
Bahamas and Venezuela) , love cones, would like to arrange a dive trip for 2007  to
the Caribbean to the areas such as the Grenadines and Martinique where we
might find such species as C. cedonulli,  C. dominicanus, and C. pseudoaurantius.

Might you be able to give any advice and suggestions as to how such a dive trip
might be arranged and any contact for a dive operator that would accept a
shell oriented dive trip ?  Is this something that would interest you as well,  if the
trip  could be arranged ?

Many thanks for any help you can give.

Karen
