It was a blast to have Troop 8 aboard and watch them progress through their SCUBA skills, and enjoy the salt life. I’m not sure who enjoyed it more, Troop 8 or the BSA Burglar crew!

July 19, 2022 was a nice day for SCUBA diving. With certifications done, all dives at this point are fun dives, no more instruction – time to implement new skills. First on the itinerary was a dive spot named Labyrinth, and spur and groove reef. Then, on to a similar type of reef named Boink. The gang enjoyed both sites and did a great job. It’s nice to see divers progress and become comfortable in the water!

Wednesday Cathy and I went snorkeling at Cheeca Rocks, about one mile from Breezy Palms Resort. I went and got the boat from Caloosa Cove Marina and ran it about 5 miles up to our place. It was a wonderful dive, the visibility was good and the reef was alive with life. We saw: grouper, sergeant majors, a sea turtle lazing about looking for lunch, hard and soft corals. Parrot fish. Angel fish. Christmas Tree Worms, which retreat in to the coral heads when frightened. Some Coral Bleaching <frowny face> but overall healthy coral <smile>.

Then on the Lorelei Restaurant And Cabana Bar

Cathy and April came to the keys for a visit with Ernie and we went out in the boat to make sure the sun went down 🙂

After checking in to the Breezy Palms Resort near BSA Sea Base, we went boat riding to see the sights. We stopped and toured the Boy Scout Sea Base complex. Then we went by the Oceans 305 restaurant and tiki bar, a neat spot located in the Fiesta Key Campground.

Then out to Florida Bay to watch the sunset.

The gang from Troop 5 was lucky to get good weather for 3 days and did a great job in the water getting SCUBA certified!

July 6, 2022 – Keeley, Louis, and Sean got certified by instructors KL and Spencer at Pillars dive site, diving from BSA Burglar! See link below for a Google photo album 🙂

Reggae at sunset at Book Key Harbor – good vibes!

June 19-21 brought nice diving conditions and Troop 70 from University Park in Texas. The gang did great!
