Diving At El Natural, Puerto Rico

Went SCUBA Diving with Mark Worthington, Mike Green, John Pagones, and Maura Benatti at a Puerto Rican shore dive site called El Natural, and known to surfers as Gas Chambers, on the northwestern corner of Puerto Rico. Wonderful visibility and a whole lot of wildlife made this a great dive, especially considering it is an easy shore dive and air fills are only five-dollars apiece. Park the car and jump in for a great time.

"Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mold-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of 'the rat race' is not yet final."

Sea Fever, by John Masefield

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,

And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail shaking,

And a gray mist on the sea's face, and a gray dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,

To the gull's way and the whale's way, where the wind's like a whetted knife;

And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.
