Diving the Keys

Me and my dive buddy

Its been a long while since I last donned the BCD and plunged into the great blue, but one can't visit Florida and not take the unique opportunity to get wet in the Atlantic and explore the Florida Keys.

The Keys are a coral cay archipelago on the southernmost tip of the US.  Starting at the Florida peninsula and extending westward to Tortugas, the islands (or Keys) lie along the Florida Straits dividing the Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico.

Its a wonderful tropical climate in the Keys and the water temperature is like bathwater.  Visibility excellent.  Perfect conditions for diving the reefs and enjoying the marine life!!

For me, diving is like riding a bike - you never forget.  What I do forget is how perfect and peaceful it is down there and how time disappears.
