It's one of those places that I highly recommend everyone visit, at least once. You'll fall in love with the people, and the food.... Mango sticky rice is devine!!! I haven't been able to find good mango sticky rice since I got back.

Are you out there now?

@@captrussell no, trips on hold until I heal up some. Got to get through the legal process from this accident first.

@@divechroniclesofrocky …Oh! What accident?

@captrussell I was rear ended by a drunk driver the day after I got back in Brevard county. Totaled my truck, messed me pretty bad too. Neck, back and head injuries. I'm staying with a friend right now. Starting physical therapy next week.

I used a gopro 9 for this trip. I hope you get to see her on a good day. What dive shop did you use? We used Red Sea Diving College, did a great job for us.

@@divechroniclesofrocky Thanks! I have a go pro 7, and my footage it much murkier and duller than yours.. time to upgrade I think! I will definitely have to have a second attempt. I was on a liveaboard, booked through Scuba Travel. The boat was the Ghazala Explorer, all the guides were great!

A part of it is post-production, too. I use VideoPro X14, which has some great image correction.

I believe this was at Dry Rocks, maybe Grecian.

I believe she was. The way she moved, I was a little concerned that she might be hunting me... lol. A buddy of mine, who knows these things, said she was definitely checking me out, but she didn't display any aggressive behavior, so it was probably, more curiosity than hunger.

After, and French Reef. See the video on squid sightings, same day and dive. As soon as we surfaced, skipper loaded the boat and off we went.

Yea, but I'm hoping that a lot, or most, of it survives if the water cooled down soon enough.

1. tigers, nurse, black tip, reef, bull. That's all I saw. 2. they only school when there's something tasty in the water, and they're all tasting it. 3. Hot. Water temp finally fell below 90 this last week, still seeing 88-89 with occasional 87 degrees.

Three tigers that I know of, probably one more in the distance.

Thanks

GoPro Hero 9. Edited on Magix Movie Edit Pro.

Lol, to tell you the truth I'm not sure.... I'm pretty sure it's J.J.s cave on molasses reef. But that was the day I dove Mo in the am and French in the pm and it sort of runs together after awhile...

@@divechroniclesofrocky been there, done that!

OMG I wish I had my camera on the first part. I was just swimming taking in the moment.

Glad you enjoy it!

I used my Zeagle Ranger bcd, ScubaPro Mk 17 regulator. Thanks for watching.

Give us a call next time amd we can set it up for you.

@@divechroniclesofrocky Will do thanks!

If it's doing the job, why replace it. I needed to upgrade since my hero 9 went belly up on me. Otherwise I'd still be using it. If it works don't fix it.

Thanks for the complement. I will be uploading another video in the next few days or so... now I'm having trouble with my laptop, think I got some bad software or a virus.

@@divechroniclesofrocky Good advice. Thanks.

Rocky what video editing software do you use/recommend? I have a PC.

@@391wombat I've used Magix Movie Edit Pro for a lot of years. I've also used Premire (good program but I aint paying that much, there are others that dp just as good and are more affordable.) I've used DaVinchi Resolve as well but found it to cumbersome for the level of editing that I do. If you're a pro video editor, both of those do a really good job. Movie Edit Pro does a good job, is powerful enough to be creative but not loaded down with a steep learning curve. I always get the premium version so there's more power than I need but still keep it simple enough to do quick edits and coversions if I need to. My two cents worth.

This is the second time in a year that I've seen Tigers on Mo, although I've heard others talk about sightings as well. I've also seen a couple of Great Hammerheads here also, the biggest being about 10 foot. That was a huge animal.

Most of them were Reef and Black Tip, a couple of Bulls, a couple of Nurse and three big tigers. They were feeding on a big, 4 foot turtle that had died or been killed.

@@divechroniclesofrocky I’m going to be in Islamorada in March. Can you recommend a dive shop? Been looking at Key Dives. Know anything about them? Others?

If you contact Scuba Fun in Key Largo, she can fix you up with pretty much any dive you want to make, any where in the keys. Let her know if there are any must dives and she'll set them up for you.

And Key Dives is a good shop. I used them to dive the Eagle.

@@divechroniclesofrocky okay thanks. Ill look into both shops.

Thanks for the comment and they can be territorial. I've been grunted at by a few of them. Not sure they're dangerous, but I really don't want a fish that big mad at me. Jonah might be able to go three days with out a belgium waffle but I ain't so sure I can. Besides, we see them, don't need to touch them. We were at 110 feet there and I wanted to extend our NDLs as long as possible.

Got it Rocky thanks.

Yes sir, a 1979 Seaforth. I had such hopes and dreams for that fine little ship. Saddley she got embroiled in a storage property issue and I had to walk away from her. As a Pirate re-enactor, I installed some show rigging to give her an old sailing vessel feel. Had lots of heavy manila rope to give her that war torn sea embattled character. I wanted to install a couple of air powered cannons for shooting stale bread during pirating operations. I never got to really sail her, but the little I did in the river, she was a fine vessel and sailed well.

I had one, great little boat.

Thank you too!

Thank you, it's worth the trip....

One of my favorite wreck dives.,

It was a cucumber of some sort Amd no, it was three dives. All one day.

It's all about the journey

Thanks l. Depth was about 30 feet.

Thanks, that's a reef shark. The next video (going up right now) has a boat load of sharks.

Headed to Ft Lauderdale in a couple weeks. Any recommendations for dive shop/charter dives?

@@391wombat not sure who has survi ed the lockdown but scubatyme has always done a great job for me. I haven't personnaly used Pirates Cove but I hear good things about them. Calypso is a great small boat and a great crew. g.co/kgs/KPXDSb

Perfect! I already signed up w scubatyme for a dive on the Okinawa and a reef dive. Just lucked out. Looking forward to it! Ill check out the others you mention too. Thanks!

Thank you, it was an awesome dive.

I use Horizon Divers, cost is about $85 usd. I also use Nitrox which bumps the cost about $24 for 2 tanks..

Breakers and Tables & Tennis are a couple of my favorites.

Thanks, I try to make them at least interesting.

You do that very well. Im an older diver who got out of it decades ago and am trying to get back into it. Spiegel grove and Duane are on my bucket list.

@@391wombat when you do, give me a shout and I'll show both of them. Love both of them.

@@divechroniclesofrocky Will do Rocky. John

I don't usually wear a wetsuit, but if I did I would usr a 3 mil at the most. Apr water is nice, usually mid 70's. Give Yvonne a call at Scuba Fun and she can hook you up. I usually use Horizon Divers for the Spiegle.

We had a lot of fun there, and the food was really good as well.

Oh don't cross it off... tag it as a must return to...

I hope your making it through this hurricane season... looks to be a rough one coming at you.

@@divechroniclesofrocky Thank you. One down, one to go for just this week. Bermuda is very well built all brick and mortar. So we should be able to ride it out okay. Paulette did minor damage. Humberto last year did more but not much. Teddy should be hitting Monday.
