Glad to see you made it home safe Frank. As Dorothy said in The Wizard of Oz.. "There's no place like home" Enjoy the sun & warm weather.. We had 65 degrees her last Thurs. & I came out to work tonight to 18 degrees,blizzard like conditions & 6 inches of snow in a couple hours... Looks like Punxsatawny Phil was wrong again !!!

I'm not sure about the west coast, but we have over 300,000 in the water world wide. We have about 400 off the coast of Sarasota, and its about all I see when I dive. not much here but a sandy bottom. The east coast Of Florida has more reefs, and more to see.
Its the best hobby I ever picked up.

I'm still waiting to my first wreck dive. I want to dive the Vandenburg in the keys. The deck is at 60 ft , the hull is at 140. I'm ready to do it.
There are some army tanks in the gulf that I dive on, but nothing exciting.

IIRC they are at 65-70 ft. And of course I never took any pics.....

There is a whole row of sunken ships in the keys to dive. The vandenburg is the most recenty sunk ship. Its 522 ft long.

Sink the Vandenberg
I could always use a new dive buddy.

I said the same thing about Florida when I was sitting in Ohio waiting for my $400 natural gas bill to come in the mail.
I sold almost everything, and just moved.....It wasn't easy but I'm making it work. The best decision I have ever made.
Good luck to ya, and see you in July.
