There are times in life when seemingly unimportant decisions lead to huge life changes, changes you couldn’t have anticipated in a million years. Changes that are totally disconnected from the event that started the ball rolling. Our move to the Keys is a great example of this…
While my friends and family back home are getting pounded by a winter storm, I’m sitting on the deck listening to the palm trees rustle in the breeze enjoying my coffee. I fell in love with the Keys last winter for this very reason. Winters down here are perfect, highs around 80 and lows, Read More
Happy New Year from the Florida Keys! I hope everyone’s year ended on a great note & you achieved some of what you set out to do a year ago. If not, there’s no time like the present to reaffirm your goals! This entire year was dedicated to further simplifying our lives toward the, Read More
We’re officially Divemasters! The class schedule was more demanding than I expected it to be. I spent most of the last 8 days freezing cold, soaking wet and tired. You really hit a new level of saturated after 5 hours or more in a pool. I also had fun, learned a ton, met some, Read More
It’s hard to put into words how much I love diving, we both do. I love everything about it. Being on the boat, meeting new people & the way no two dives are the same. We haven’t been diving in two weeks because it’s been ridiculously windy and we’re both itching to get out, Read More

About a month ago my ScubaPro regulator started making a pretty loud whistling sound on inhale ruining not only the peacefulness of my own dives but for everyone in a pretty big radius of me. So I took it to the local repair shop. Our regulators need servicing every 2 years and were coming, Read More
There are no beaches in the Keys! People are always surprised when I tell them this but the Keys are made of coral and rock, hence the great diving and complete lack of beaches. There are a few man-made ones and a few small natural ones but I guarantee you they’re not what you, Read More
Yesterday it was looking like Matthew might hit the Keys as a category 4 after a direct hit with Cuba but this morning’s model is looking much better for us! We’re not in the cone anymore so just tropical storm conditions are predicted for us. Hopefully it’ll be windy enough to knock the brown, Read More
It’s gorgeous in the Keys right now! You can feel the summer heat (and I do mean HEAT) backing off slightly during the day with evening temperatures being just right. The ocean is the calmest it’s been since we got here and there’s a beautiful full fall moon so we decided to head out, Read More
