Swimming, swimming, swimming....keep on swimming

The underwater adventures of the Henson party (Stacey, Levi, Luke, Clarie, Mike and Julie) had are memories made for a life time for all!  Everyone was extremely happy, grateful, and a bit tired after so many dives, thanks to Adventure Watersport Charters in Key West scuba diving overnight liveaboard charters to the Marquesas Keys and the Dry Tortugas.

The waters were warm, the seas calm and the visibility was incredible...the best of conditions for scuba diving...not to mention the awesome sunsets, the crystal clear star filled skies,  and the underworld aquarium we all experienced.  The food was wonderful too as we did a bit of fishing for yellowtail and mutton snapper (great catch Claire and Luke), for our dinners and the captain's culinary skills we second to none cooking on a liveaboard, thanks to Captain Budd.  We visited several wrecks but by far everyone loved the Vandenberg the best as well as the Marquesas reef line.  Julie encountered a bit of a surprise when she met a fairly large grouper face to face as she swam through the wreck, but Dive Master Jack was with her to calm her down and look after her, and Luke our underwater photographer, was of course, on the other side of the wreck at the time, so no photo...too bad...it would have been a picture worth a thousand words!  Large schools of parrot fish and loads of several other species swarmed around as we dove the reefs; it was just an awesome sight.  We saw several turtles, a couple of rays, an eel (a bit scary), a large baraccuda, and a couple of small sharks that Levi and Mike actually got to touch while them swam side by side with them.  A pod of dolphins acutally graced us with their presence for quite some time, as they did some bow riding in front and alongside our 43' boat on the way out to sea too.





 Though we dove so much that everyone was pretty exhausted, Stacey stated that she was extremely happy with the way the whole trip turned out and she only wished that they had more time to spend with us so they all could get to "all the great spots".  We kind of laughed and told her that would take more than 3 days with us but she was more than welcome to come back in the near future and try again....maybe next time for "bug" hunting season that starts shortly.  All agreed that they would be back again with Adventure Watersport Charters for their next Key West scuba diving overnight charter!  Thanks Henson's...we truly enjoyed having you all with us for such a great time.
