First Atlantic dive

[stinggirl]

Well, I just did my first dive in the Atlantic (Key Largo). It was so great. I manage to figure how much weight I would need on my own (of course after taking boyouncy control course). I did use a guide being my first dive. It was one guide with 5 divers. Basically he would just make sure to point out things for us.
I saw my first nurse shark, a couple of lobsters and all kinds of pretty fish that I don't recall names now. I saw a gigantic brain coral that we were later told should be about 2 thousnd years old. I also got stung by a fire coral. It was just a great dive. I can't wait to get out again. It also gave me a boost in my confidence.

WOW! Great report. I am very excited for you. I love how you say "I also got stung by a fire coral" followed by "It was just a great dive". Such passion!

Im looking forward to my first Atlantic dive...well first beach dive at all.

Good for you. The more you dive the better you will be and the diving over there really makes you want to dive a lot.

Congrats! I just did my first Atlantic dive about a month ago, a drift dive in Pompano Beach. Vis was better than the Gulf, but my buddies said it was worse than normal. It was also a little dark as a thunderstorm passed over us while we were down. The strobe effect from the lightning did help light things up a little

Sounds like fun. Will do that once I've done my wreck diving course. This Wednesday the 17th I finish my tests for my aow. Then I want to do wreck diving.

Thanks Tracy. Next month when I come back from vacation on the 11th I should be able to go do some dives with you on your trips. I can't wait.

It was so much fun that getting stung was exciting too. I have a few scratches and bruises but they're just battle wounds that I were proudly. I love it diving!!!!!!!!!!!
