With the camera of course:thumps:

My lovely bride and I escaped to Key Largo to get married last weekend. We left on Thursday and were supposed to be married on Friday. Unfortunately, we flew with American Airlines and were stuck at Chicago O'Hare Airport for 18 hours :mad: we were able to reschedule everything and got married on Saturday. On Sunday, we took a small charter out and did some free diving on Pennekamp Park. I was able to shoot some video and some pictures, but my free diving skills were a little rusty. By the end of the day I was able to get down to 30 feet and stay for a while. My wife loved the experience and is now ready to get certified :thumps: and also wants to start shooting fish:thumps::thumps::thumps:

Congulations on your wedding.
I love the Avitar, I grew up in Mpls and could not wait for spring to dive so I got Ice certified. Do you Dive Isle Royal?

Thanks. I do. I have been up there on two separate 4 day trips. The last one was after I completed my advanced nitrox and stage decompression training. I dove with doubles and have a lot of extra time to explore the wrecks. My favorite is the emperor. I hope to complete my trymix and dive the Kamloops.

Wow its been a long time Emperor, Kamloops I remember the names guess I will have to dig out my old logs. I took my basic with Smith diving in NE Mpls, from Greg Hegi. I lived in S. Mpls and took classes at Vets salvage diving. they later renamed it Scuba Outlet Store Jerry Provost and Brad Grasky(Spelling?). We dove the south end most of the time but made a few of trips to the north end. Crazy trips long before LORAN or GPS navagation 20+ miles in 12' seas. Hi adventure for city boys that spent most of time boating on lakes you could row across.
Great pictures

I love underwater pics !
Great idea for a wedding location and I'm glad you took some time to check out one of the nicest preserved reefs.
Next time you're in the area contact some of us locals and we'll go kill some fish !
