Merry Christmas from the staff of the Florida Sea Base.  I hope you have a blessed day.  As is common in the “tourist industry” some of the staff is working today.  The DMA candidates and instructors and some of the seasonal staff will go diving this morning.  It has become a bit of a tradition to do a wreck dive on the Eagle on Christmas morning.  Then we will go to Tom’s Harbor Restaurant at Hawk’s Cay Resort for an early Christmas dinner (16:00 to 18:00).

Scuba and sailing crews arrive tomorrow.  Here is the local forecast:
