What a great day on the reef with reefman and timg! The Cajuns had a bon temps! (Good time)

It's hard to believe how many critters we spotted - very productive day of diving. I am accustomed to being the one BEHIND the camera, so it was nice to be the SUBJECT of a few photos this time

They wore us out...103 minutes on the first dive and 93 minutes on the second!

As Bob Hope used to say--reefman & timg "Thanks for the memories!"

Fantastic pictures! Make me want to go back there again.

Unfortunately, every time I dive in Key Largo, those dive operators want me to go back to the boat within 45-60 min, even if we dive in the shallows (~30' deep) like in the City of Washington (my favorite dive site), going back to the boat with half full tank (~1500 psi).

Thank you Dan_T. Yes, commercial boats have a schedule to keep, so an hour limit is the norm.
