A note from the editor...

It is fall, and these are the months the Florida Keys slow way down. That laid back lifestyle is about to get real laid back as most of the tourists have

gone home and left us to our own devices. It is the month many businesses close up and take their own vacations. This year we are doing the same and giving our crew a much needed breather after the busy summer season. But not to worry, we have an action packed issue guaranteed to keep you busy, motivated and inspired to get back into whatever it is you do with enthusiasm.

In this issue you’ll find courage to travel solo, motivation to exercise, some real life treasure diving (that you can do too!). Learn how to get the whole family into scuba diving, live healthier and much, much more.

See you in November!
