oh the dive was awesome! i haven't posted about it yet. i guess now would be a good time. i thought we weren't going to be able to go. as soon as we got to stuart cove to get our equipment i heard thunder. i thought, oh this is great, what a waste. but i guess it doesn't really matter (later my mom asked if they had us out while it was storming. i said yep i was on the bottom of the ocean). going out to the first site we dove out it was VERY wavy. and it was raining. first spot we dove at they called the 'bahama mama' there was a wreck. it was really neat. and there were lots of sharks. they asked if we wanted to see sharks everyone (all 6 people on the excursion) were like yeah! i couldn't believe it when i put my face in as soon as i got in the water that there were sharks swimming right under us. we were also at what they call 'the wall'. it's about 70-80 feet, but then there was this edge where the depth just drops off to some crazy depth. it was really cool. but we saw some fish, and the sharks. swam around the wreck and i held some weird looking underwater bug. i'm not sure how long we were down on the first dive as i didn't have my watch on for that one. when we got back up to head over to the next spot i had a little episode where i thought i was going to get sick. it was weird, i've never gotten sick in my life, and i've been on boats a lot. my grandparents used to have a boat and we'd go up to deep creek every summer. and this was my 4th cruise and i've never had a problem. i think it was probably just the change in going from the bottom where it was calm back to the surface where it wasn't calm. but i drank some water and sat at the end of the boat and was fine. then we went over to do a reef dive at a place they called the 'hollywood bowl' over by 'golden key'. the key gets it's name from the birds that live there and no humans are allowed over there. they call the reef hollywood bowl because almost every movie that has an underwater scene is filmed there. and the fish down there were amazing! we were only about 35 feet deep during this dive and we were down for about 45-50min. i knew the fish were going to be pretty but i never knew that they came in some of those colors! bright blues and teals. it was amazing! and the visibility on both of the dives was incredible. you could see so far. oh i loved it!
