Hello everyone!
Busy summer we’ve been having so far! Lots of great diving and the weather couldn’t be much better over the last 3 weeks or so. Light winds, great visibility and no waves or current have been the norm! The water is really warming up to, my computer said 85 degrees at depth today! I guess that is how it is supposed to be! Nice to have it!
This past weekend we had lots of trips and classes. Our Friends George & Mel Yates from Team Divers were diving and doing class all weekend. We had some other return friends, Jerry and Nancy Simon along with their friend Ed were in town for a few days as well.
We managed to grab a little video of the diving on Saturday afternoon. We ventured out to Molasses Reef and dove at “Winch Hole” and “Fire Coral Cave”. On this trip we had Owen’s Discover Scuba class with Heather and Raiden, as well as as Bill’s Open Water class with Jennifer. They were treated to about 100 feet of visibility, flat seas and a very light current that was nice because it was probably keeping the water clean for us.
They say that Saturday (which was 07-07-07) is supposed to be a lucky day. I think they are right. The special star of this video is the BLACKTIP REEF SHARK that was zooming around. We seem them quite a bit, but we don’t usually get a chance to capture them on camera. You can see how camera shy this fellow is. He wasn’t too happy to get filmed and left the scene rather quickly once the camera started rolling.
Click here to see the VIDEO!!! (requires Flash) and get on board with us to check out a few minutes of our Saturday Afternoon trip in Key Largo. After that, come dive it with us in person! We’d love to have you!

Hey, D.J.!
Excellent footage of a spectacular afternoon of diving. Conditions couldn’t get any better for a black tip reef shark citing. I was one of the lucky ones to witness the graceful yet shy shark. Winch Hole and Fire Coral Cave will remain on my list of favorite dives. I was also pleasantly surprised to see myself in the film right after the shot of the ledge with the snappers. I didn’t see any other female divers with a back plate frog kicking, so it’s safe to assume it was me. Thanks for including me in your film! I thoroughly enjoyed diving with Rainbow Reef. You have the coolest dive guides! You guys really pick the best dive sites; I think the critters follow your boats. I saw a manatee, a manta ray, dolphins, 2 black tip reef sharks, a nurse shark, many morays, tons of lobsters, stingrays, tarpon and permit in 3 days and 1 night of diving! Awesome!
Now I’m home and I really wish I was at Molasses. But I plan to dive with RR again very soon!
Best, Jemiah
