Not really… I live in South Orlando, near Kissimmee. Palatka is about 2.5 hours away. So I’m in the general location, but it’s not in my backyard! Cave diving… you Michiganders sure like that cold water! Cave diving takes another cert card. Personally I’ve been diving in The Keys, Hawaii, Rotan Honduras, and Bonaire… all warm waters and easy diving. My group is looking for a great dive/vacation spot for this summer, perhaps Cancun or Belize.

Your welcome here. Lot of great diving in the great lakes.
I’ve done some cave diving in ginnie springs (dveils ear…) are you near there?

Hello. It was July. Surface temps were probably around 70, but at depth 80-100 temps are close to freazing, at around 38 degrees. We dive in drysuits, but a few others on the boat were in wetsuits. While I personally havent taken a drysuit class, there is one available but not required. This was a recreational dive so since we didn’t penetrate these wrecks (too much) anyone with advanced dive card can go.

I grew up in Michigan, but moved down to Florida and have only experienced warm waters. So, what time of year (I assume it was summer) and what was the water temp? Also, did you dive in dry suits. Is there an additional certification recommended (say… for cold water) aside from wreck diving cert? I am fascinated to say the least.

Maybe someday I’ll take up diving,but for now I’ll just enjoy flying PPG.

Ahh, to be on the Rec Diver with that few people. My buddy’s last trip had 20 people, and my up-comming will have 18~20 as well. 8 of us dive TEC rigs (minus the Tri-Mix for these dives), so it really makes it tough!

ah…song #2 during the 1st dive I presume?
I’m not sure of the album/CD it is from as I bought it as an individual song a while ago.
But, the song is Pie Jesu and is a Duet featuring Charlotte Church and Sarah Brightman.

Thank you for the nice video! Would you like to tell me more about acoustics? Where is the sacred music pièce (“Kyrie Eleison”) taken from? Which opera, which composer? It’s just divine. Thanks
