Hi gang,

Another busy weekend in the Florida Keys.. We had a whale shark sighting at the Duane, an underwater engagement and even a birthday celebration! We had great visibility, it had to be getting close to 100 feet, and there was no current and very small waves..

George and Mel from Team Divers were down as usual, but this weekend it was Mel’s birthday so we couldn’t resist getting her a cake and signing her happy birthday!!

As far as that engagement stuff! Jake called ahead to see what we could do to help him pull off his caper! We explained how we’ve done it before and made sure it was all secret from Kim. So, about half way through the first dive Jake popped the question to an unsuspecting Kim while at Hole in the Wall in Key Largo. When they got back on board, we asked both of them if they were feeling any effects from nitrogen narcosis before, during or after asking or answering the question! Apparently not, so smiles all around… Dale (one of our newest DiveMasters) was on the scene with the camera so he snapped a few shots so we could post them here.. You should be able to tell from the pictures what the answer was, so we won’t spoil the fun!

Hi gang,

We had some really nice folks down from Canada with us for the past 2 weeks. Wayne and Dale Friel hail from Belleville and did a bunch of dives with us and are avid photographers (or at least as far as we can tell!). They were kind enough to leave us with a CD of some of the shots they got on the dive trips they did with us, and wow, they look really nice so we decided to share them with you. Since I’m not a very good underwater photographer, I can’t be sure if our Key Largo dive sites are making them look like good photographers, or they are great photographers making the Key Largo dives sites look so good! I guess you can be the judge! Hahhahah. Anyway, they left us with about 60 great shots and we can’t post them all, but I’ll try and pick a few of the nicest ones to share with everyone.

Well, we hope we see them again some day soon, as they were a pleasure to host, and we hope you will come see some of the things they saw and photographed while they were here!
