Well, after four days aboard the Ocean Explorer, we are back on land.
We had absolutely flat conditions almost the entire trip; on the last day, the seas finally built to less than one foot. Viz was at least 75 feet on every dive. On the wall, it ranged well over 100 and probably went to more like 200.
We did have moderately strong current on a couple of dives. Other than that, conditions were just about as perfect as it comes.
We did dives on walls, coral mounds, slopes, wrecks and we dove with sharks. On the last day, we returned to the Florida coast, diving two wrecks.
The diving was great. I would do it again in a second.

WOW! 
what a great time. The diving was great along with the people. The warm, clear H2O was a change from the deep, cold lakes I am used to. Several personal goals accomplished and have enjoyed entering into the Tech world. 
It was good to meet all those on the trip and enjoyed the company and fellowship 
Hope to see some pictures on the site soon to show family and friends.
Talk to ya soon

Well it was my first trip with Single Divers, even though I was on the working side of the trip as a Dive Master / Cook for the boat. The SD gang were a great bunch of people to dive with and spend time with.I can't wait to go on a trip as a member and not on the working side.It was realy nice to meet all of you, and will hopefully see you again soon on a trip!!!!!

Hay sleepless, 
Thanks for the great trip. You and Mark did the best job.
Hats off to you guys, and THANKS.
I will be looking forward to diving with you on any trip or profile.
This trip was my first with SD and I can't say enough for the group of divers I met and had the opportunity to dive with. I think I will become an avid fan of these trips. So lets go to Morehead and do a little wreck diving

Well I lucked out and spotted the SD Ocean Explorers crew on my way home on Bimini when they were in port to clear customs. Just wanted to say what a pleasure it was meeting everyone!
