We were spoiled. That's right, the weather was perfect, sea conditions were fantastic and diving, spectacular!
Pictures of North Beach, the name of one of the two beaches in the campground we stayed at, the other is of course, South Beach.
About 70 people were on this trip, 50 of whom were students. The students were assigned an instructor, here is Day's group. What a fantastic week they had, conditions were, dare I say, perfect.
So our day starts at Ocean Divers, and, on the Santana.
On the boat, and head out to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
A little pre dive brief from Day before jumping in.
And, the pool is open...
The seas were flat, water was warm, the visibility was good, what more could we ask for?
Day says these are Pork Fish, not sure if she knows what she is talking about, but the pictures are pretty good. To be honest, Day knows her fish.
Hey look, we found a boat, a shipwreck.
Above is the bow of the Benwood.
Back to the surface, on the boat, and off to our next dive site.
If any of Day's group is reading this, you should know, I think you guys did great, and it was fun diving with you guys.
Diving with turtles, also pretty freakin good.
All these pictures, are taken with a Nikon Coolpix 120 AW.
The camera is waterproof to 59 ft.
as is, with no underwater housing.
What a beautiful animal.
And as quickly as the turtle showed up, it leaves. Don't bother trying to chase it, you will lose.
We saw a lot of cool stuff underwater. The diving was fantastic, but the real highlight of these trips, are the people. It is always good to see old friends, but equally as good to meet new ones.

Seventy people, one common interest, multiple friendships renewed and made, some lives changed forever, welcome to Project Deep.
