Well I went on my first dive as an official certified diver!  Drift diving is highly popular in Florida.  They drop you off a boat in the ocean, and you kind of follow the current along the reefs, ooooohing and awwwwing at the reefs and fish, and then you come up when your tank is empty, and the boat picks you up!  It’s great fun.  I got 3 of my friends to come with me to West Palm.  Seth was certified when he was younger, and hasn’t been since he was 14, Paul was certified last year, and then Eric was certified with me!  We had tons of fun, and got to swim in Shark Canyon with real sharks!  No, they don’t think humans are tasty, I promise!

Our second dive was a wreck dive!  It was called the Corridors.  We went down to 85 feet deep, and saw 2 sunken ships!  It was awesome!  I saw a huge sea turtle up close, and a goliath grouper (or Jew Fish).  I really enjoyed the morning.  We left Melbourne at 5:15 am, were diving by 9am, and were back home, safe, sound, and wet by 2pm.  What fun!

Here’s some pictures of the dive :)
