My friends and family have always told me I was "certifiable", but I am pretty sure they weren't talking about THIS, lol!! What an amazing experience!
We began our FL dive trip in Crystal Springs and Homassasa FL. We also did a drift dive in Rainbow River. My actual certification dive took place in Ginny Springs in front of the Grand Ballroom Cavern.
Here are a few photos David and I took. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/glad_d...=/3fe7&.src=ph
I was too busy to take a whole lot. Part of the trip was also a manatee encounter, and there are a couple shadowy pictures of the two manatees we spent an hour playing with. One of them weighed about 2,500 pounds!! It was MASSIVE! They would be floating along, and they would slip underneath you and then raise up and bump you up into the air! We scratched their backs, tickled their bellies and made them roll over like pups, and played with them until we were exhausted and cold. The water and air were in the low 70s.
I will have my "graduation" photos some time this week and will post them! Many thanks to everyone for all of your wonderful words and terrific support! I appreciated it very much! |
Awesome!!!! Congrats to you! I am so jealous, I want to get certified.
