Saturday Scuba diving...oops, it was actually Friday but this entry is done so tough :)


Ok...we got our dives down. Most of the dives started with a deep wall dive and then a shallower coral reef dive. Thursday we went to Black Rock Drop-off and Roger's Reef...Friday we went to High Rock Drop-off and Ironshore Gardens...today we went to Hollow Rock Drop-off (ok, just kidding but I was seeing a pattern). Today we went to River of Sand for our morning dive. We were on the Nauti-Cat boat and the captain was Mo--who I later found out is one of the owners. He said the site was named this because of the finger-like coral at the site that branch out to the the reef wall...it is rumored that if you were to sit in the sand between the coral you would eventually fall off the wall because the sand is like a river there. Mo said that is bull crap, he has tried it! The second dive site we went to was Big House...pay close attention to the curtains-they are new, we have lovely furniture here also :)

Here is a view of the condo's from the boat. The left picture is the two bedroom condo's...the right is the one bedroom--our's is on the second floor, the farthest to the right. We had breakfast every morning and lunch after the dives on the balcony.


We tried to capture some of what we were seeing in these pictures...not so great pictures, sorry.



It is always fun to go thru the pictures and try to figure out what is in the picture...this is a crab!



These are two HUGE things we saw...a lobster about the size of my arm and a grouper that was at least 2 feet long! Also a very pretty parrot fish...



Signing off for now...I thought of my brother today...I think I found his brain! He is always looking for it at the Milwaukee Zoo...
