Sunday was a fabulous day for diving. Not much current, great water temperature and visibility for miles … well, feet but alot of feet – 40 to 50 feet easy. If you haven’t dived the Delray Beach Wreck, it can be a treat. It varies as sometimes the sand creeps up and covers parts of […]{...}
When we first moved into our new house, the sort of fountain pond thing out by the pool was full of tadpoles and green water. It was a bit unsightly but other than the fact that the tadpoles kept trying to spread to the pool, it wasn’t too alarming. What was alarming was the screaming […]{...}
Diving in the rain is not necessarily a bad thing. The visibility sometimes isn’t quite as good and because rain usually means cloud cover, the dive might not be as brightly lit, but it can be just as enjoyable as a dive on a sunny day. Surfacing as the little rain droplets come down can […]{...}
Joining a dive club can be a great way to meet new dive buddies. On the recommendation of our friends Don & Cathy, we signed up with the South Florida Dive Club almost right after we arrived here in Florida. These guys are great – they typically refer to themselves as a Drinking Club with […]{...}
Well, from all I could see, the Deerfield Beach cleanup under the pier was a resounding success. By the time Dave and I got to the beach at around 8:35 Saturday morning, they had already checked in 150 divers. As you can see, there’s a lot of pier to clean so I’m sure they were […]{...}
The first sign that told us that diving the Delray Wreck was going to be a good dive was that immediately on arrival, we found a little ray. The little stingray was just swimming next to the Boiler just as we arrived. It sat on the sand for a bit but I guess I was […]{...}
If you’re like me (and pretty much everybody else I talk to these days), you’re wondering what’s going to happen to south Florida diving in the wake of this oil spill. I was interested to learn that the Florida Keys have added a special area to their website to keep interested parties updated. I’d tell […]{...}
My husband is a scuba instructor so I get lots of people who ask if he can teach them to dive. First, he’s a pretty good instructor so the answer is probably yes but before you decide to even try diving, you need to find out if you can dive – if you are medically […]{...}
As the ultimate scuba diving gift, any toy loving scuba diver would find it tough to be unimpressed when presented with their own personal submarine. Being able to dive as deep as you want for as long as you want … well, at least as long as the batteries hold out – is something we […]{...}
My husband loves to dive but even more than that, he loves to teach other people to do it. This is why my birthday dive to the wreck of the MV Castor this year was such a treat – no students! We went out on Saturday morning on the Lady Go Diver for two great […]{...}
