I remember the feeling of seeing the Canadian Rockies for the first time and the profound impact it had on me. Seeing these giant mountain peaks rising above us, breathtaking, and unlike anything I had ever seen before! Having grown up on the much flatter east coast, the small mountains in the Laurentians I had […]
We finally had the chance to dive the famous Blue Heron Bridge dive site and we know now why it has been voted the best shore dive in the United States! Also, snorkelers can enjoy the easy access Phil Foster Park Snorkel Trail.
We’re just back from a diving vacation in Grand Cayman. We couldn’t resist revisiting the island for some thrilling and exhilarating diving. Crystal-clear water, dramatic drop-off walls, colorful and healthy reefs, and the famous Kittiwake wreck—what more could we ask for?
Lots of travel, bad weather, and equipment servicing had all gotten in the way of our diving and, believe it or not, we had not been out for a dive since the end of February. Well, this Friday we had 84-degree seas, waves under one foot and visibility approaching 50-60ft. It was a perfect day […]
This lovely park is located in the Tampa Bay Area and makes for a delightful place to relax and chill out. For us this was the perfect spot to stop for lunch and stretch our legs as we made our way up the coast to Tarpon Springs from Miami.

We finally got our chance to dive the Ancient Mariner wreck off Deerfield Beach. It was the perfect February day with lots of sunshine and flat seas. We love Florida winters, and even the 75-degree seas aren’t so bad with a 3mm suit and a hoodie 🙂 With 30-40 feet visibility and only a small […]
One of the things that drew us to Grenada was the Bianca C wreck. Being able to scuba dive on a sunken cruise ship is something you don’t get to do every day—unless you live in Grenada! In addition to wrecks, we found that there were some remarkable, healthy and colorful reefs, making for some […]
The Everglades cover a large area of southern Florida and are a unique ecosystem. Mostly made up of marshland and coastal mangroves, the environment attracts over 300 species of aquatic birds. Both alligators and crocodiles can also be found in the Everglades making it one of the only places in the world where these two […]
