Title: Double Fist Pump
Post by: catdaddy on July 15, 2011, 11:34:34 AM
Cole & I just spent 6 days scuba diving in the Dominican Republic. We stayed at the Dreams Resort next to the little town of Bayahibe. After landing in Puta Cana, we had a 1 & 1/2 hour ride to the resort. The ride to the resort was a real eye opener for us. This place is a true third world country. The poverty was vast and illustrated to us how fortunate we have it in the good ole USA. The ride to and from the resort was a "white knuckler"--the traffic rules were basically---"every man for himself"

The diving was great. We did two tank dives each day. On the last day we dive down to a ship wreak "The St Georges". On this dive Cole & I both went deepr than we had ever dove before---118 feet!! I did have a blood vessel burst in my eye since I did not properly equalize the air pressure in my mask.

I had Cole take this pic espcially for my OG friends--an underwater double fist pump at 50 feet

Very cool, Tom,....never done that, but I've got some friends that live to go diving.  ....Don't much care for the idea of a blood vessel popping in an eye, though..... that can't be too good...
