Atlantic Adventures

A gorgeous, chilly weekend on the Atlantic Ocean! One of our last outings that we'll likely be diving the Atlantic for a while. As winter approaches, winds change forcing us divers move to the Indian side. It's warmer, so we aren't complaining! A few images from our chilly playground - topside and below.
