One hobby leads to the next

Awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing... We're taking the kids to the keys next month and looking at your pics is getting me stoked.

I have done discovery cove and it is a great way to get kids involved (I was a kid the first time I went). The keys is where I did SNUBA for the first time when I was a teenager so I guess the seeds were laid then.

I am Happy to see the two of you having so much fun!! Scuba diving is a great way I use to unwind. Now that you went diving in nice clear water you will not like diving in NJ. Trust me been there LOL.
Just glade to see you having fun!!!
 
I am really envious. That looks like a blast! Going from this great hobby to actually swimming with the creatures we nurture in our tanks seems like a dream come true :encouragement:
 
We had a great time. We wished we had time to do a 2d dive.
Seeing the colony of petersons cleaner shrimp was my favorite thing, bu I was suprised at how much acropora we actually saw- towards the end of our dive, we went by a large field of it.
Seeing Christmas tree worms the size of my hand and feather duster worms the size of dinner plates was also really cool; even just seeing damsels and chromis was really neat.
 
What an awesome first dive! Wish my first dive was that great!

Be prepared as the Scuba big bites just as hard as the reefing bug!! Been certified 5 years myself...it is a great time!

But unlike Daniel...diving in NJ is just as awesome as diving in warm clear waters :)
 
Looks like a great experience, and having pics to share really brings the story to life. Glad you guys enjoyed it! I'm really looking at that doing that diving groupon myself :)
