Hi Gang
I thought i would share this with everyone. I finally got my wife in the water today at Blue springs in Fla. We had both just purchsed all new equip from our local dive shop a few weeks ago and wanted to try it out. We arrived at the 8am opening and picked our spot for the day. After getting all of our new equipment out we headed for the water. A lovely 72deg welcomed us and my wife was a trooper and plunged in. After we figured all the new gear out we set off up current to the main spring. A cloudy day greeted us with only about 20-30ft vis at the springs headwaters so we headed back down the run. I started easing over to the trees and fallen timber looking for some fish to salvage the day. Sure enough they were there and i motioned for my wife to come over. As soon as she saw them all I could hear were screams of happiness thru the snorkel. We spent the next 2 1/2hrs exploring the area finding everything from bream to bass,freshwater mullet and some nice 2-3ft long gar. Needless to say she is pumped!!!!
Since this is new to both of us I would like suggestions for what you do with your stuff while your in the water??? I threw my car key in a watertight case and hoped for the best. Since we will be exploring more sites here in Fla just wandering what to do while were in the water for a long time with no eye on our personal belongings.
Thanks
Jeff
