Well the past two weeks have been filled with all sorts of adventures in scuba diving. The Advanced Open Water certification class was interesting of itself, plus add to that two consecutive weekends of dives.
On our first weekend we traveled down to Vortex Springs in Ponce de Leon, Florida to dive the springs. There’s nothing more exciting than feeling 68F water rolling down your back inside your wet suit. Friday night we did our first night dive. We saw lots of fresh water eels and plenty of large koi. Saturday and Sunday we finished up all our other required dives, plus one dive just for fun.
This past weekend we headed down to Panama City Beach for our required ocean dives. The first one was our deep dive (100ft) to the Accokeek (a Navy tug) and the second was another night dive to the Black Bart (185-foot oil field supply ship) sitting at 75 feet. I will say I completed both dives, but after the first I found myself fighting a case of sea sickness. I toughed it out and went ahead with the last dive.
I would say I have lots of pictures to share, but our camera didn’t quite make it this time. It sprang a leak sometime during the dives and it looks like the film may have got wet. It’s at the developer right now…we’ll see what comes out.
Ok.. time to do a little more work… more later.
Well the Florida room is finally finished. Ok, the main part is done, now all that is left to do is paint the rest of the house, and furnish the actual room.
is doing pretty good right now with all the rain. Hopefully the rest of the season will turn out better than last year.
