    We loved the Vandenberg, but dang, I haven’t fed the fish more in any past dive than I did the ride out there…

    I can’t get over that the dives in the Key West aren’t guided unless you specifically hire one, particularly since it houses the second largest artificial reef. The coral restoration dive is fascinating and an incredibly cool dive to get to be a part of. Also, if I had any sort of true SUP ability, I’d be booking it for Aquaholics Adventures – that sounds amazing.

      Believe me, you don’t need any — there were plenty of beginners in our group, which amazed me considering alcohol was involved, HA! And yeah, I also find the guiding thing interesting — it was true at the freshwater caverns and sites I visited last year, too!
