“Houston we have lift off”, breaking the bonds of Earths underwater world has long been one of humanity’s greatest dreams and most difficult challenges. Since we first began to have conscious thought, we have looked to the sea, hoping someday to explore it. Well folks the underwater World is now at your fingertips, it’s just a mouse click away and trust me when I say, it’s one of the coolest things you may ever do!! Look at this baby, it’s hundreds of years of innovation all put together into one small deluxe package! The day started with everyone working on the sub and me getting my underwater equipment ready. There are countless tests that have to be done in the sub before it hits the water not to mention charging batteries, checking the lights, adding more lead for weight and so on and so forth. Finally at around 2:00 today the big white garage door opened and out rolled the new Curacao Mini Sub. It was like a scene from “Top Gun” when the pilots came walking out (in slow motion) all decked out in their uniforms and then climbed into those beautiful jets! Then within minutes they had it tied to a big crane with heavy duty straps and gently lifted into the ocean and parked it in it’s specially made dock. They then did all kinds of water tests while it was still attached to the crane and moments later the signal was given and the sub was released from the crane and slowly departed on it’s first ever voyage in Curacao waters. I quickly shot photo after photo and followed the sub on a short but fun tour of the reef with a maximum depth of only 60 feet, remember this was only a test run. We ended up doing two short dives, the second was with a group of photographer and writers that are here from “American Way” magazine, “you know the magazine that is on all the American Airlines flights”, they are doing a story on the dolphins and the sub so keep your eyes out for that the next time you fly. So I think it’s safe to say the first day went really well, they are now open for business. You can make your reservations by contacting me or go to www.substation-curacao.com Stay tuned for more.
My week is really messed up with the arrival of the sub, I will now have to work both my days off but still plan on taking Sunday off as usual. All is well, see you tomorrow, Barry
