PRICELESS !!!
With dives averaging close to 55 minutes each, this really was a "EAT SLEEP DIVE" experience. Okay, I didn’t see the hammerhead or any of the numerous eagle rays. I did see horse-eye jacks, turtles, spiny lobster, spanish lobster, crabs, moray eels, sea slugs, porcupine fish, cleaner fishies, parrot fish, angel fish, trigger fish, black durgin, southern stingrays, barracuda, flounder and lots more.
Up around 6:45 ... breakfast at 7-ish ... first dive at 8 ... out around 9 ... snack ... second dive at 10 ... out at 11 ... lunch at 12 ... relax ... third dive at 2 ... out around 3 ... snack ... fourth dive at 4 ... out around 5 ... dinner at 6 ... (maybe a night dive at 7:30) ... out like at light by 10:30 ... repeat.
The spare tire at the MV Keith Tibbets (aka Russian Destroyer) and the remains of a bicycle at the wreck of the Oro Verde made me nostalgic for Dutch Springs. I kept looking for a school bus or trolley, but never saw one.
