Key Largo trip

Just got back from our first trip to the Keys. Fantastic! My wife and
I are new to diving-- 12 dives, just enough to keep us from blundering
into the coral and take a snapshot without bobbing to the surface. The
reefs sure are spectacular, big change from the browns and greens of New
England diving. Our first wreck dive too, the Benwood. Who knew a
collapsed pile of rusted junk could be so much fun?

The people at Its A Dive run a great operation, efficient yet relaxed
which isn't an easy combination to pull off.

Maybe next year, the Spiegel Grove.

Great you had a good time. Did you happen to go through the tubes at OIA on
your travels?

Where in New England are you from? There are a number of clubs up here that
would love to have new members.

I'm a bit to the south, dive in the Cape Ann area. New Hampshire sounds
like dry suit territory.

I actually dive in New Hampshire very rarely. (We've only got 8 miles of
coast you know.)
Most of my diving is either on Cape Ann (Folly Cove and Pebble Beach in the
last week) or in Maine (Nubble Light is a favorite.)
