This
was definitely a Caloosa Dive Club does Key Largo weekend.
The scheduled dive this weekend was a Saturday afternoon and
Sunday morning dive with Amy Slates in Key Largo. The
dive filled up quickly and 3 club members didn't make it on
the list so Cristal Clear Charters came into play
with a 6-pack boat they keep in Key Largo.
It's become a
regular event for many of the group to travel down to the
Keys on Friday and have a BBQ at the hotel or boat dock. It
seems silly to travel all the way there on Friday and not
take advantage of an opportunity to dive so we ended up at
Island Ventures for a Friday afternoon and Saturday
morning reef trip. We filled up their boats and there were
still a few people who wanted to dive those extra days and
Quiescence Dive Center had one of their 6-packs
available. Eel by Cherri Wood. Dive Coordinator "Anemone
Man" on the City of Washington by Todd Welle.
Wow
- 25 or so divers, 3 charter operators combined to give us
6-8 fantastic dives over the weekend. A BBQ on the dock, a
delicious dinner at one of the local restaurants that can
actually handle a group our size - good friends and a
weekend away from the daily grind - Is life good or what?
We
don't have all the details but we know dives were made on
The Elbow, Snappers Ledge, Molasses Reef, the Benwood and
the Spiegel Grove. The weather was a little challenging on
Friday afternoon but showed progressive improvement and by
Sunday it was calm and comfortable. We could make a huge
list of what we saw but you've already heard it all. There
were a few notable events that are worth mentioning here
though.
Bob & Janet Miller both hit the 200 dive mark and
were presented with a framed, signed certificate including
underwater photos taken by Brian Chouiniere on that day.
Todd Welle celebrated his ??? birthday and Lynne Casey made
her first dive on the Spiegel Grove.
