Did 3 dives (1 at Epcot and 2 in St. Thomas).

Epcot's Dive Quest was incredible! 273 ft of vis (that was the diameter of the tank otherwise it could have gone on forever) in a 6 million gal tank. 65 different verities of Tropical sea life (including a giant sea turtle, 3 tiger sharks, a spotted ray and a couple of brown rays.) Although a dive into a tank sounds dull, this is NOT TO BE MISSED. If you find yourself at Walt Disney World - Dont' miss out on this.

Chartered with Blue Island Divers.
St. Thomas - Dive #1 was a beautiful coral reef called REEF Bowl. Depth = 67 ft, Vis = 75ft, Water temp = 80 degrees F. Saw a parrot fish, baby sea turtle (I told the kids it was "Crush" from Finding Nemo) and lots of other sea life.
Dive #2 - My first Wreak dive. Navy Barges - Depth 40 ft. Vis was poor (8-10 ft), sandy bottom. It was 2 old WWII barges that were sunk in the late forties. Although the surrounding water was murky, it did clear up once inside the vessels. Saw a barracuda, giant lobster and a small ray. First time I have ever done a wreak, so it was a little spooky going through the holes that had been blown through the ship, but we had a great dive master\guide who took everything very slow and made it very enjoyable.
