TRIP REPORT FROM FLORIDA

Hi all,
Dan Crowell, Carl and Matt from the store spent some time in Pompano Beach Florida doing some rebreather training and fun dives. Here is Carl's report from the trip:

We had great weather, awesome diving, and lots of fun on our trip to Pompano Beach last week. Some people were there for AOW classes, some for rebreather and tech training with Dan Crowell, and others to just dive.From Thursday through Tuesday we had 6 days of good weather and cooperative seas (though Monday was a little hairy with a few 6-8 footers) and did a mixture of wreck dives and drift dives on the reefs. We hit some familiar wrecks for me like the Sea Emperor, Rodeo and RSB1 as well as some new ones like the Hydro Atlantic and Miller Lite. Mostly sunny skies and water temps around 77 deg made this a great change from NJ winter.It was a very rewarding trip for me. I got to introduce some of my AOW students to wreck and drift diving and had the chance to do some deeper rebreather dives on my KISS using trimix.Of course I caught a cold on the last day of diving just like last year, but it's worth it.Carl
