SCUBAMichelle and I had an AMAZING time--best Invasion yet, in my humble opinion, and I know that Michelle had a great time on her first. Save for the noseeums :/
Endless thanks go out to Dennis & Rox for their skill, dedication and all the time and effort they put in to make every Invasion unforgettable; to Pete for the entire occasion in the first place!; and to the many friends I've made over the last few years--and the new ones from this year--who make each Invasion the dive vacation I look forward to the most
More thanks to Scuba.com and Divers Direct for my prizes, and of course to ALL of the sponsors for their incredible generosity which makes the bitter end of a sweet week together a lot more palatable.
Anthony's Key Resort was incredible and I won't hesitate to recommend it to anyone and everyone--a seamlessly integrated hotel/resto/spa/dive op that knows how to cater to the dive community. The staff were wonderful, from the spa ladies to the waiters to the cleaning staff, boat captains and DMs, and the front office folks.
I likely won't make it to Cozumel in 2015 but I'm 100% on board for The Philippines.
It's gonna be EPIC and I can't wait!
Michelle, our awesome DM John, and me.
