Diving in the Keys!

It was a very unique and exciting weekend!
We went diving for the first time.
It was a first for several things:
First time for MP diving in the open ocean
First time we are out in the ocean!
First time to diving spots in the Keys
We learned a lot and enjoyed it even more!
Glory performed fantastic!
Some interesting facts about Glory Days I did not know:
Best cruise speed on flat water: 1990 rpms - 7.3 to 7.8 knots
If yo go faster, she will simply dig the stern in and create a huge wake, with very little gain in speed.
But once in the ocean... guess what?
2500rpms and the movement of the ocean waves actually helps Glory speed up!
9-9.3 knots burning only 7.5gph so over a 1 mpg at 9 knots! NOT BAD!
OK, now the pretty part: videos and pictures of our weekend and diving experience.

I used my new GoPro camera!


And some cool pictures:
