Diving Adventures: Caitlin in the Keys


I have one day left consisting of 4 dives. Right now the morning is scheduled to be exhilarating with two deep dives, one dive being a wreck. In the afternoon it will be two leisurely reef dives. I have discovered that diving in the Florida Keys can satisfy just about all . Every level of diver will find that there is a dive site for them. Furthermore, one has a great opportunity to fulfill a variety of interest dives. If you love wrecks, you have got plenty to choose from old and new, deep and shallow! If wrecks aren’t your thing and your looking to get some great photos of reef life, you will not be lacking here.

In 5 days I have done 13 morning and afternoon dives and one night dive at sites up and down the Florida Keys. I have loved every second of it. It is a great feeling to look at my dive computer and see 131 feet/40 meters or when I look at it and realize my dive time is nearing an hour and that is the only reason the dive has to come to an end! Some dives have been more challenging because of the dive conditions such as currents but it has been easy to adapt to and in my opinion makes it all the more fun. When I was diving at the more relaxing reef sites I was happily taking my time enjoying the beautiful colors found in reef life down here. As an instructor I could see the potential teaching opportunities in my various dives. Reefs that have depths that would satisfy depth requirements for discover scuba diving students, sandy patches to perform the open water skill performance requirements, or choose a night dive for an adventure dive or part of your night diver specialty and you may see a hawksbill turtle like me! This is just a quick, basic blog reflecting on my Florida Keys diving experience so far. Once this trip is over I will follow up with more in depth blogs about my time down here in the Keys!
