Hi gang,

I’ve been a little under the weather for the last couple of days, and of course, the weather has been outstanding for diving. I lay in bed, everyone else gets to go diving. This weekend they had dolphins in the boat wake,�averaged over 100ft of visibility, the water has warmed up to about 79-80 degrees (the tower reads 82 degrees) , �and we had all kinds of wonderful sightings. Think I’m delusional because I’m sick for a couple of days?? Let me see if I can put it in perspective. George Yates from Team Divers has�been to the Christ Statue more than 400 times over the years, he got off the boat and said it was “The best dive I’ve ever had at the Statue”.�So, I’m not going to conduct a full investigation, but I guess it was pretty darn good.�This weekend we visited the Spiegel Grove, Duane, Snapper Ledge, Christ Statue, Pickles Reef, and Fire Coral Cave just to name a few.

We had a nice fellow along with us this weekend who goes by the name of Jim Blackburn. He got a new camera and somehow ended up with the wrong memory card. It just so happened our cameras used the SD memory, so we promptly hooked him up with a card so he could shoot some photos. I just put his pictures on a CD for him and have to e-mail him to get his mailing address, but I took the liberty of throwing them up here so he could get a sneak peek and everyone could enjoy a few shots of Snapper Ledge. He said he’s been shooting underwater with film cameras for quite a few years, and this was his first digital camera.. Jim.. I’m no expert, but so far… so good! They look great.

I’m going home to try and recover so I can get in on some of this great diving!
