Cavern Diving to finish week

This area has awesome caverns. I was real hesitate about this stuff...now im addicted. Beautiful stuff. Turned lights off in some for complete blackout.....what a rush. Course light of opening was behind us. Only Manatees we saw were in wildlife park. Did rivers, springs around Crystal River area. 40-50' and 100+ stuff. I even got to dive some GREEN water with crappy vis....I thought i was at home!! But once we reach cavern, cleared to ...well clear. Felt like we were suspended in air w/o water. Dove spring that looked like amazon from below into mangroves/such. Should of been alligators there the way it looked. Jeff and I really wanted to take one on. I mean with mating season coming on for em, you would think they would be lookin for us. We are sitting here in deep, deep depression that we are done diving and have to go home in AM. I took shower w/ fins , snorkel on just to take the edge off. Think we ended with about 17 dives this week. Think we have some good underwater pics if they come out. Banita did get nice surface pics. I do have pix of me in compromising position w/ a Manatee, Brent. Will be up for sale later. We'll go have some seafood tonight drowned our sorrow over the end w/ margarita and see you guys soon. Can't wait to dive the beautiful flooded waters of ok/AR. I hope the bottom temps are 70's now there, Right? Everything here is 72 degrees or better in COLD season. Many divers here don't dive this cold 70's stuff. They wait until it gets warm.....LOL

Man! I wish I could have gone with you. If only I didn't have bills to pay, or buy more scuba gear. I could just take off work and dive. I can see why so many people move to Florida to retire. I envy Jeff's grandparents.
