Dreams of Aquanauts

Key Largo, Fl – One of my earliest childhood dreams I remember was swimming through an underwater house, room by room, unencumbered by gravity. Something about moving down hallways and hovering over the furniture that always stuck in my mind. From there, my dreams turned to the early Cousteau movies of men living and working under the sea. Those early pioneers were so far ahead of the time. Today, some of those memories came alive as I had the opportunity to visit the Aquarius Reef Habitat off the coast of Key Largo, FL. I am here training on a new closed circuit rebreather that will provide an increased level of safety and reliability as I dive throughout the National Park System.
