Since I was already in the South Florida area, I couldn’t leave and not go diving. Cris had some friends of hers that were going out, so I decided to join them. After borrowing a set of LP85 doubles from a cave diving friend who lives in South Florida, I was ready to dive. We met Nate and Brian at Dennys for some breakfast before heading off to Wm. J. Alsdorf Boat Launching Park where we would board with Parrot Island Scuba. As it turned out, everyone on the boat knew each other, so we were able to rent the boat out for $300, or $50/person, which is a great deal! Furthermore, we got to choose where we would dive.
After we talked it over, it was decided that our first dive would be on Wreck Trek, and the second would be on a reef. As odd as this might sound coming from a cave diver, wreck dives don’t really do much for me, but I do love reef dives. For the first dive, I brought my video camera along. Here’s some video that I took-
