Key Largo May 1st

Hey, some of us dive 30 mins, come up to the surface and hang there until the computer registers "dive 2," then go back and dive another 30 or 45. Squeeze two dives off one tank, then gear up and do it all over again

:06: Rocks?....CLIFFS!...5 Foot Waves!....Hello. My name is Oliver and I cant wait to meet you. I represent the www@hilt.org. (Warm Water WussiescauseweHave ItLikeThat DownhereinFlorida.ORG

You must REALLY love this sport.

Us tropical divers are sploilt!

hahaha! Well, Sage, I'm no super diver. I would bet just about everyone here has way more experience than I do. I just dive where I can and got lucky enough to find a job that required onsite training in California for a few months. It was great experience! I think everyone should do some CA shore diving at least once.

Now the guys who dive northern California, Oregon, and Washington, they are the crazy ones!


**(I know you were kidding. I just wanted make sure that you guys know that you are the teachers, and I'm the student. I hope that I am not coming across as an arrogant, seasoned pro because I'm not. I'm just some punk kid who wishes to one day be the seasoned pro (minus the arrogance). Anyway, I just thought I'd through that disclaimer in there!)

Ahh don't worry. I'm no pro either. I've logged only about 60 dives. In any event, Jenny, I was just guessing but I know it was somewhere in the 2 to 2 and a half hour mark. Whatever it was I know it was a damn long time. And yes that shark was BBBIIIGGG. Still never seen another one even close to that size.

So what kind of shark was it? I hope to increase the number of species of sharks I've in my life time (while diving). At this point all I have seen are horn sharks (harmless bottom-feeders), leopard sharks (harmless bottom-feeders), and nurse sharks. I must say, the tiger shark has to be the most beautiful. I figured that bulls would be fairly common out here. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You should have seen me before I attended the Scuba_Jenny School of Bouyancy & Trim!

 

[Scuba_Jenny]

Oliver my buddy- you are way too kind, thanks!

Agal Bloom it was a nurse shark that was longer than me and my fins. I remember when I first saw it, it was just this huge mass of grey that I thought it was a sheet of metal or something.
Saw it again on the way in just almost out of visiblility range as it was making a pass. Very cool!
