DIVING TAYLOR MADE! 7 June

Special dives happen all the time – a pod of dolphins glides by, a school of rays drifts overhead, a turtle comes and sits on your chest.  Another kind is when you just have such good energy with your divers – sometimes you make friends for life!  Another is when you get to mentor a young diver.  yesterday and today were like that for me with Taylor, an incredibly sweet and joyful young diver.  These have been her first ocean dives, after being certified in a quarry in texas, and she just loved everything about them. such a great experience to be part of! Today we moored up at Anglers Ledge, 48 feet, seeing large morays, loads of reef fish, helmet conch, and her favorite, a porcupine puffer fish! She had just done a report on them in school and loved seeing them in the ocean!  2nd jump was Fantasy reef, max depth 53 feet.  the resident turtles gave us a show with their graceful swimming, and today there were huge schools of fish there, many more than usual. perhaps because the viz was down a bit, maybe 60 feet.  just a beautiful day!  thanks to all, Larry, Joe, and Kelsea.
