Hi all,

It’s hard to believe it’s March! We’ve been having some really great weather lately. In fact, I think I was pinching myself to see if I was dreaming. We can’t normally get conditions as good as we have in the summer more than about a dozen times in the winter, but it seems like more days than not have just been outstanding. Today was no exception! We had very light wind from the north, no waves, no current, and more than 80 feet of visibility on our Spiegel Grove dive this morning. The water is even warmer than usual! My computer said 75, and Tom’s said 77! If that’s not good enough, the Tropical Voyager called in over 100 feet at Molasses Reef this morning.

We had a special guest aboard the Tropical Explorer’s trip to the Spiegel Grove this morning. Ok, all of our guests are special, but this one is Lizzy’s Mum, all the way from the UK! She came over to visit Lizzie (one RRDC’s Instructors) for a few days and do some diving! We also had Donald Bridgets, Sonny Sarkar, Clyde Fontes, Philip Fontes, and one of our weekend regulars from Miami, Manny Nunez. They were treated to a great dive at the�Spiegel Grove, and we stopped at the�wreck of the Benwood�for our second location. The�Benwood was unchartacteristicly wonderful, we had about 65 feet of�blue water.

I shot a lot of great video today, but I can’t�show it all to you! You’ll have to settle for 7�of the best minutes�direct from the Spiegel Grove, staring all of the above divers!

Ok, so check out the VIDEO!!! (requires Flash) and see it for yourself. After that, come dive it with us!
