Problem there is the water is not so clear and you can't see them very well. One popped up extremely close and actually bounced him a bit. So glad he didn't go in the drink as he had the phone with him :-(. We now have a waterproof Otterbox for it ;-).Al and Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02991509802471213755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-62176384859138842012013-03-24T22:29:40.051-04:002013-03-24T22:29:40.051-04:00oh-oh, now you are mentioning NOT being in the wat...oh-oh, now you are mentioning NOT being in the water with those gators!!!

The temperature was 42F so once you got out of the water you got into dry clothes really quick. They are the gentle giants of the sea. It was fun when they stuck their noses up against our scuba masks (the kiss) and wrap their arms momentarily around you like a hug.<br /><br />Be Safe and Enjoy!<br /><br />It's about time.Rick and Kathy Rousseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187734210342762674noreply@blogger.com
