You tell them Denise. Every now and then we need to rinse the fresh water off our gear with some saltwater!

Now, Now....cave divers can use a little salt every now and then

I really enjoyed the dive. Now Im looking into what camera I want to get. Ive got to get a light like wjefferis has, it lights up the world down there!

I didn't bring my cave light for a shore dive. But you are right. I knew where Walter was just by his light

I have a Dive Rite LED LUX light. I bought it through Dive Gear Express (formerly Dive Rite Express), here is the link to their website Dive Rite Express is now Dive Gear Express

I have a Sealife DC 500 camera and it does quite well for a beginner camera. You can check my photo gallery for examples. GlenFWB has a Canon G10 and it is very nice. In fact after I get my cavern/into cave classes completed, I think I may go that route.

Lately I have been taking my Primary light on shore dives at Ft. Pickens and it has served me very well. It has been a great addition to my dive kit.

Thanks Hetland for the ID on the Torpedo ray, I thought it was an electric ray. although they seem to look similar
