I'm going to be returning to the Conch Pearl for the last three weeks of the regular summer season at Florida Sea Base. The end of the summer is a difficult time for FSB when it comes to staffing; some staff have been fired, some have been sick or injured and some leave before the end of the season for school. No matter the reason I help fill in at the end of the season. Of course there is a selfish component to it all as I really love being on the Conch Pearl.
There is a new twist...the Conch Pearl is now staffed with two instructor/divemasters due to a change in Coast Guard requirements. Seems like overkill and I can't wait to see how two instructors keep busy.
Anyway, the water is very warm (no wetsuit, yeah!), lobsters are in season (yum) and it's hot.
I still have to pack and go through my dive gear but those things are a labor of love.
Four days and counting.
