I'm in the Keys now....

Monday was a blow out.

Tuesday we did a shallow reef & it was what they call "Sporty" down here. Not a good day.

Today (Wednsday) was a great day. Calm seas, light current, and great vis. Air temps in the low 80's. Did Conch Wall (50' - 90') and Del Fuego, a shallow reef loaded with fish. This was my first opportunity to dive the rig in warm water. It was very cool. I parked myself on a sand patch with no one else around and just sat there for a while. I really felt like I was just part of the reef. The fish just came right up to me and went about their normal business. Then for grins I switched over to my BOV. The fish that were close in scattered. I really enjoyed the experience.

Tomorrow it's supposed to pick up a bit. We are heading to the Eagle and another shallow reef.

Friday it's another wreck dive I believe..... Plenty of room on the boat....

Sat & Sun are looking great so far. Should be a super weekend.

Is anyone meeting for dinner Friday night?

I am getting ready to sell some Alu 13cft O2 clean cylinders. All are in good shape, recent VIP, and have L & R hand valves available. I am going to sell for $80 each ($160 pair). Will sell for $150 pair if you buy more than 2 . I can bring these with me if anyone is interested ,to save shipping charges.
