Diving & Fishing the Florida Keys
Diving & Fishing the Florida Keys
This summer my family, friends, and I made our way down to the Florida Keys and ironically stayed on Summerland, which is about 2/3 of the way down the chain. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate with our diving and fishing plans and we were battered with 20 mph. winds the entire week. Even with the bad weather, we all somehow managed to catch some fish. I also managed to get some diving footage of sharks, tarpon, octopus, and even a shy cuttlefish when the visibility let me; enjoy.
