Are you an overpacker or an underpacker?
I’m an overpacker, especially in those final moments.
Like last week, on our way out the door to the airport I suddenly realized I needed another sweater and an extra notebook. A few more snacks for the plane and in between meals at the resort, just in case*. And I can just squeeze this other pair of sandals in the top of the suitcase. And…you get the picture.
That’s why Glenn was in charge of packing the dive bags for our vacation to St Lucia.
Glenn’s an underpacker when it comes to clothes** but he has a finely honed sense of exactly what we’ll need when we go scuba diving. Even though it’s been 5 years since the last time we flew somewhere else to dive, he’s still got it. And now we’re sharing it with you.
Most of this went into the checked gear bags: one for each of us. Neither was close to the weight limit, even with some of our gel & liquid toiletries tucked in the side.
Our clothes went into carry-on bags, along with dive computers and GoPro and reusable water bottles.
That’s it!
When you come visit us in the Florida Keys next time, pack all you want.
Or don’t.
We’ve got you covered either way because helping people have a stress-free day on the water with family is our specialty. Glenn will make sure the essentials are always available. I’ll make sure some fun extras go on board with you too!
(And yes we spent lots of hours and a bit of money to travel out of the country to go scuba diving.*** For fun. Proof positive that we haven’t completely ruined the fun of diving for ourselves!).
*Half a bar of chocolate, some almonds and most of the dried lentil snacks (don’t ask) went all the way there and came all the way back. So we were good on snacks.
**Glenn brought only one collared shirt and wore it to dinner every single night at the resort. And every single night it had a little something more from dinner the previous night.
*** And yes it was amazing — octopus, frogfish, all the eels, healthy seagrass and 6ft tall soft coral. We’ll share a video soon!

– Theresa N.Oh my gosh! What a perfect day for a very very special occasion…a surprise, underwater proposal. They showed us a beautiful, private dive spot and made sure that the proposal went off without a hitch. The videos are perfect. Jill, Glen, and Stephanie, thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
– Em S.What an awesome time!!!! Every year for my birthday, I look for different things to do with my friends. This year, it was a sunset cruise, which far surpasses a dinner at yet another restaurant. … A plus is their actual head (toilet) aboard. Their cat is a perfect size for 6 passengers. It is well appointed, spotless and very stable. Highest praise for Jill, Glenn and Suzy!
– VijaiOMG. To be honest I booked this charter because the boat had a full functional bathroom. Luckily, I never needed it. … The boat was beautiful and immaculate. The little detail that was actually quite useful and made us all very comfortable was the fresh water shower after each dive. We got back to the dock feeling refreshed and not sticky and gross. Jill was responsive in following up with my initial inquiry and follow up confirmations etc. the dive sites were quite impressive. Overall an amazing experience and won’t be our last.
– Lance HLucky Fish Scuba is a top notch diving operation, very professional, and so much fun! Glenn & Jill made had everything prepared and ready when we arrived. Once we arrived at the dive spot, they were very helpful explaining where we would go, what we would see, and then proceeded to guide us through the dive. Since this was our first time diving in Key Largo, having a dive master guide us was very comforting. In between dives, they provided drinks and snacks. The boat is perfect for small groups and very comfy and it has a head if needed. In addition, Jill provided us with a short video of our dive a few days later. We loved it! This biz is a gem amongst all other dive operations in the Keys. You will not be disappointed booking here. We can’t wait to go back!
– Jose B.Lucky Fish Scuba is where you need to go in Key Largo! Both Glenn and Jill are extremely professional, courteous, and fun.
