Hey there... I just wanted to post up a few photos that my wife shot yesterday in Key Largo... I will be posting video and some more photos in a few days...

Also... If anyone knows the technical names for the nudis... please post a reply, as I do not know the names.

Enjoy.

Always having fun lisa... diving a lot too this week... we have friends from Colorado (who came here to dive) visiting us in Florida.

The mast is from the USCG Cutter Duane off of Key Largo. Here's some more info on the Duane... It is a great wreck dive. 120' to the bottom, but the deck is at about 95'

We saw 2 large Bull Sharks, while on the descent line, but neither Michelle nor I was able to shoot a picture of them... I did shoot 30 minutes of video yesterday, and hope to find time to edit some shorts to share soon.

Cool link thanks for that! BTW, lucky friends you have

It has the depths like our Sea Tiger, we just don't have to fight with current there.

There is one wreck here that was sunk 5 years prior to the Duane and is pretty much falling apart. How would you say the Duane is holding up?

Very nice Howard. Tell your wife she did a very nice job.
