Hi Kamala,
Per Kim, I understand you're presently in Florida....but please hurry back, 'cause I know you've got at least 2 more T&C Explorer trip deposits in your mailbox.....so if you would, please add 'Scubafanatic' and 'Nurseshark' to the 'list'.
....guess I need to get with you on the airfare/logistics.....I'm assuming us 'locals' (DFW residents) would enjoy being on all the same flights, if possible, so we need the details on all that.
....did this trip last April, (on their new boat) so if our weather holds I'm sure we'll have a GREAT time........and, of course, as befitting a 'scubafanatic', I was the only diver on my trip that did ALL 27 dives, so I hope everyone's ready to dive their BUNS off !
....by the way, hope everyone's OK with SHARKS.......saw a good number of them last time, (reef sharks) including BIG ones, even on the night dives....they can be curious about divers and will come face-to-face with you and check you out sometimes....also got very close to a few BIG barracuda, although even the biggest ones there couldn't hold a candle to the ones I saw on the Oil Rig last Labor Day (Sea Searcher II) ....holy cow, those things were monsters....just ask 'nurseshark' !
......... the reef walls start at about 60 ft. deep, and I really enjoyed cruising the walls @ 110--130 ft. deep....and looking downward and seeing the walls drop into infinity.....another 6000 ft deep or so..... COOL !
