2015 Cajun Invasion is in Full Swing!

[CajunDiva]

Welcome to Key Largo! The Cajuns have arrived for our 3rd Annual CAJUN INVASION!!! The party is in full swing and I am happy to report that the weather is as close to perfection as it can get. We started out Sunday with 4-6 ft. seas...not great when you're the poster child for seasickness And to make matters, I mistakenly took 25 mg of my seasick medication instead of the minimal effective dose of 75 mg. Let's just say the fish were VERY happy during our 4 dives on Sunday! Thankfully conditions improved by Monday and after sitting out the morning, I've been diving...diving...diving! Who could ask for anything better???

The gang at Rainbow Reef Dive Center have somehow found a way to up their game even more. Our dives have been safe, strategic (going to locations with the best conditions) and more than anything...FUN!!! I had the great pleasure of making the acquaintance of a couple of our ScubaBoard buddies on the boat this morning. A big shout out to Brian, who just returned from Afghanistan with his rescued pooch "Shrapnel". He just completed the IDC at Rainbow Reef and I had the pleasure of diving the Spiegel Grove with him - I'm honored :blinking: I also enjoyed meeting and speaking with "bluesrunner" (please correct me if I got that one wrong!) What a great group of folks!

All I can say for now is that there are MANY fun stories and videos ahead. PLEASE don't believe everything these people are going to say about the Cajuns...we just like to have a BON TEMPS! (Good Time)

Today we have the pleasure of experiencing a rendezvous with reefman and timg at the Spiegel Grove. What awesome guys! Phil brought his beautiful 22' cat out to the site and there was no mistaking who they were. Tim was kind enough to shoot a group shot of our group at the flag on the Spiegel. Hopefully they will chime in here...

Thanks guys!!!

I concur. We had two excellent guides on the boat that morning. Both were not just guides, but certified instructors who loved what they were doing. They are two of many on staff...one of the reasons we always opt to dive with a guide at Rainbow Reef. They really enhance the underwater experience. They're not too shabby on the surface either
