I like the KISS approach to this trip. Keeping It Simple and straight forward.
Unless I get a special invite I'll stay shallow and get some much needed bubble time in. The reef will keep me entertained enough! Tildens will most likely be my first dive stop. They already know of my recent cert and have suggested some shallow reef locations.

That and I intend to do lots of snorkeling with Ethan, my 8 year old grandson. He's my snorkel buddy out on Lake Erie. Getting to share the reef with him is going to be the highlight of this trip for me!

Lake Erie will be where I do most of my diving locally. I'd love to see some of the wrecks that I've heard about. I've got to invest in a good dry suit for sure!
