Greetings to all divers!

Have not written in a bit, been otherwise engaged (diving & martial arts.) First mission abroad was a May trip to Nassau, Bahamas w/ a nice group from Wisconsin on the Blackbeard Cruises. Did 20 dives on that one and covered the following sites: PacMan reef, Amberjack reef, Danger reef, Parrotfish reef, 3 Peaks, the weekly shark dive at the Austin Smith wreck, Crab Mountain, Blacktip wall, Plunder, Pillar wall, Jewfish wall and Northhouse reef. Did not get to do the Washing Machine due to sea conditions but nevertheless, it was a good trip, truly pirate style, aarrgh! Just recently returned from Roatan, Honduras where we stayed at Coco View Resort. Did 25 dives on that one, great trip. Dove both Coco View and Newman walls, the Prince Albert Wreck, the DC3 just off the ship, Mr. Bud (which is another wreck,) First Bight Wall, Mary’s Place, Tulio’s Reef, Pond View Wall, Pirate"s Point, Forty Foot Point, Harold’s Hotel, Menageries, Iron Shores, Carib Point, Parrot’s Tree, Valley of the Kings, french cay Bank and Gold Chain reef. Took a trip downtown to Los Fuertes and even got strip searched by the local Policia, all in all, an interesting trip. Planning the next mission as I’m typing this...
