Pa Pa agreed to keep the kids in Perry for us while we took a much needed romantic getaway trip to Pompano Beach for scuba diving! Jason introduced me to this awesome sport and it had been 6 years since we dove together! We took the trip with a group from our Gainesville dive shop. On board every trip out was a buddy named Mike who happened to dive with us 6 years ago and checked us out for our open water certification. We were a little rusty but Enzo, owner of the dive charter volunteered to be our dive guide on the wrecks and reefs. We dove Friday night at dusk and Jason did a night dive (I don't do night dives yet!) On Saturday we dove a wreck and drift reef dive. We were back to the dock by noon so we showered, napped and ate lobster at the hotel restaurant. They advertised lobster specials so we compared a whole Maine lobster and Florida lobster tail! Pretty cool eating it after seeing them earlier in the day peeking at you under coral perches! After lunch we headed to Gary's beach house for the afternoon and chatted over a drink around his pad. We got back early because our last two dives were another wreck and drift dive in the morning before heading back. We saw eels, lionfish, wrasses, angelfish, butterfly fish, groper, snapper, lobster, barracuda, schools of beautiful fish on awe inspiring coral. It was good to get away and also good to come home just in time to tidy up before Dad and the nippers got back! We had dinner together and told Dad all about the trip and he told us of adventures on the farm!
