Do you scuba dive? Where is the coolest place you ever explored underwater? We took some Wounded Warriors diving with the gentle giant fish and whale sharks at Georgia Aquarium. That was different but pretty awesome.

Been there also in Chattanooga just to give some others the experience of a drift dive. You're exactly right about the clarity... only about 10" from your goggles

SSG Aaron Rivera - You should have dived there in the 70's,you could actually put your hand on your mask and not be able to see it if you were over 35 feet.

I went diving in Djibouti Africa. We dove with the Whale Sharks. It was Incredible. Just to be down there and see a creature of that size without anything between you. That was my best dive!!!

I had the opportunity to work with the aquarium in Guam (underwater world) and take certified divers and discover SCUBA participants in the shark tank. That was pretty awesome. I've gotten lucky though and I've had a heck of a lot of "best dive ever"s
