Getting my Advanced Open Water Scuba Diving Certification

It has been two summers since I got my Scuba Diver certification in Sardegna, so Ombretta and I decided to take a week off of work and go to Key Largo to upgrade to Open Water, which then morphed into the level above that, Advanced Open Water certification.  We did some 8 dives over four days and had a stupendous time!  The amount and colors of sea creatures and coral flora was almost overwhelming at times... as you will see in the pics.  We had such a good time - and knowing that such a wondrous diving environment is only 1.5 hours from our doorstep, we left all of our diving gear with our Master Diver instructor George, so that we can ride our motorcycles down whenever we want to dive again!  Speaking of Master Diver, Ombra and I are thinking that that is the way to go for us as well...  Just a few more hours of diving between us and the Certification!  Tongue Out
