Finally! The water is a warm 84, the wind is calm, the seas are flat, and the vis has been awesome! Is there anything better than wetsuit free diving? I think not! What are you waiting for? Come to Key Largo and dive with us!

The Florida Keys are home to some tremendous paddling! The mangroves and ocean flats are teeming with life. I can’t get enough of being out there and we’ve lived here almost 2 years now. The mangroves and flats are my everything here. They’re where I go for exercise, peace, and to simply reconnect with, Read More

If you’re in the upper keys on a windy day, it might limit your ocean going dive & fishing excursions but it could be just right to sail on the bayside!

If you’re in Bonaire to DIVE, DIVE, DIVE then you’ll likely have a day on land before your flight home. What to do? Go see the donkeys at the sanctuary! I promise they’ll make you laugh harder than you have in a long time! Your visit also allows the sanctuary to continue providing for the, Read More

Happy Thanksgiving from Key Largo everyone! This is our second Thanksgiving down here. Last year I was sad and homesick and we spent the day alone. We knew people but we hadn’t quite found our circle yet. I forgot how hard it is to start over somewhere new. It’s even harder when you work, Read More

I couldn’t wait to see the reefs post Irma. A huge shoutout to Ocean Divers and Rainbow Reef for hosting a free dive for locals to take a break from the storm cleanup. That was extremely generous and much appreciated!
