Diving in St. Croix

When Jacquie and I were in St. Croix in February we had the opportunity to go diving. This was the 6th day of our cruise on February 22nd, which is Jacquie's birthday. We took 2 dives; the first being a wreck dive with a maximum depth of 60 feet: We saw 2 interesting wrecks. I had some trouble with weights for the dive and had to fight to stay down. This used my air up more quickly than usual, which meant our dive was cut a little short. We were still down for around 35 minutes.



The second dive was a reef dive and we had the opportunity to see quite a number of sea life: The second dive was a little shallower, my weight problem was fixed and we were able to stay down a little longer. The total length of the dive was some 40 minutes.



Prior to leaving on our trip we had travelled to Jacquie's dive shop in NewMarket. As an aside, Russ and Kim Watson provided wonderful hospitality and let us stay for the night (thanks guys). While at the dive shop, I purchased a shorty, which is a 3 mil wet suit. You will notice it in the next couple of photos.

Jacquie is an avid diver and I'm glad she had a chance to dive on her birthday. I thoroughly enjoyed the dives too. Thanks sweetie for sharing the experince with me!!
