In this video Paul and I take a flight from Toronto and head down to Key Largo in Florida USA. We took a rental car from Fort Lauderdale and Drove Down through Miami. Which to me looks just like it does in Scarface and Grand theft Auto Vice City. We then arrived in Key Largo and Checked into our Dive shop for the trip Horizon Divers. https://horizondivers.com/
we then headed over to our hotel for the duration of the trip The Bayside Inn Key Largo https://www.baysidekeylargo.com/
The hotel was nice, it had Guest use Beach, Paddle Boards, Kayaks, Swimming pool and games
First day we just chilled out mostly and ate at a Place called Snooks http://snooks.com/
They have some really cool Tiki hut Boats called Cruisin' Tikis https://cruisintikiskeylargo.com/
We unfortunately didn't have time to try these.
First day of Diving we Arrived at the docks and Found out that we were diving with James from the Youtube Channel Divers Ready!
https://www.youtube.com/@DiversReady
They say don't meet celebrities in real life, but this guy was straight up a great guy to dive with, he was teaching a course on the same boat and throughout the video I bump into him a couple of times including a moment when we do some underwater clean up together.
The dive sites we visit are the Spiegel Grove, Elbow Reef / City of Washington and The Hannah Bell Wreck
Later that Day we went to a restaurant called the Fish House https://fishhouse.com/
that was recommended to us by our Waitress at Snooks, which is meant to have the BEST Key Lime Pie in Key Largo.
The next morning we got up Nice and Early for our next 2 dives on the Spiegel Grove again and unfortunately that's where this episode ends.
