Perfect Snorkel Outing...




After our dive trip on Wednesday the 22nd we picked up 2 groups for a snorkel trip.
The afternoon was just beautiful. The Wright family agreed to move their outing up a day as I informed them that tomarrow another wind system was predicted to move in. Jason, Lynn and 10 year old Dusty came aboard for a great outing to White Banks. This would be Dusty's first ocean experience. We were also joined by DJ and Dave from Oregon who were touring the US in their RV. This turned out to be a fun outing with everyone marveling at the beauty of the day and the great water. The water has warmed significantly, now around 78*. Baraccuda greeted us as everyone got in the water. A good size Stingray gave DJ and Dave a show. Everyone spent over an hour in the water and wished we could have stayed longer. What a great afternoon.
Thanks

April 22 & 23 Ahhhh It's Calm...









Finally weather to appreciate the sea. Ryan and his son Dan are with us from MA.




Dan's here to check out college possibilities for marine science so what better idea than get some diving in. Wednesday we head to the Grove for a double dip. Great conditions for the guys.

On Thursday we went to the Duane wreck for a double dip also. We were joined by Mory from our neighbor to the north, Canada. I buddied up with Mory and we headed down. While the sea wasn't too bad we had a bit of current to deal with. We were able to cover the front of the ship on the first dive. We moved over a mooring and were able to see the rest of the ship on the second dive. This ship has a great crows nest that reaches to with in 40 ft of the surface. It make for great pics. It was a great morning all in all. Thanks guys.

Time to Catch Up....

Hello PD bloggers,
Key Largo is back in the wind tunnel.
We were able to get out on the 15th with a real nice family from NC. They downed they're snorkel gear and made a day of it. We first went to White Banks to get everyone in the water and comfortable. We then headed to the Christ statue to pay our respects and ask for some calm winds. Apparently the man has other pressing matters cause it's blowing harder than ever this weekend. The Glisson family were troopers and we enjoyed having them. Thanks guys.

Where have we been???

Hello everyone.
You haven't seen anything new here for a while for 2 reasons. The end of March turned into a continuous wind tunnel down here. We sat at the dock for almost 3 straight weeks. Then in the first week of April, Pleasure Diver the boat had a major mechanical issue that took several days to resolve. She's up and running better than ever now. So we should be updating this site soon.
Thanks
