Last year, when Dave and I went to DEMA, we decided to participate in the silent auction. We bid on some fins and then, kind of as a lark, we bid on a Beach Buddy. I hate carrying my stuff – what can I say – I’m a diva.

This looked like a great thing and lucky us, we won!

Sunday was a fabulous day for diving. Not much current, great water temperature and visibility for miles … well, feet but alot of feet – 40 to 50 feet easy. If you haven’t dived the Delray Beach Wreck, it can be a treat. It varies as sometimes the sand creeps up and covers parts of it but Sunday, it was great.

Well, from all I could see, the Deerfield Beach cleanup under the pier was a resounding success. By the time Dave and I got to the beach at around 8:35 Saturday morning, they had already checked in 150 divers. As you can see, there’s a lot of pier to clean so I’m sure they were busy for the whole morning.
