Did my first Fort Lauderdale dives ever today with American dream. Man! What an experience. First real "wreck" dive (broken up hulls in Key Largo don't count ) as well on the Tracy/Ken Vitale.
First off, thumbs up to the captain and his crew. We got some bogus directions to their dock from another source, so we called and they gave us directions over the phone and even waited a few extra minutes for us (the directions were WAY off....).
I'm now officially hooked on wreck diving. What awesome diversity and life. I wanted to dive nitrox for some additional NDC time, but my partner was not, so I only got about 30 minutes on the wreck.
Second was a reef dive at a spot called "Caves." I'm pretty familiar with the reefs in Key Largo, so it was an interesting comparison. Different structure, different life, but just as fun and interesting as Key Largo.
All-in-all, it was a fantastic trip. We dove on Saturday with It's A Dive in Key Largo (fantastic as always), and in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday. I was really there for the wreck, and they most certainly came through.
No pics...sorry! Too much fun looking around, not to mention a severe lack on funds for a camera
