Today, we met up with Pete at his home in Key Biscayne, and he took us around Descane Bay, where

he grew up diving and flat fishing, and where he first started doing underwater photography

and film.

So I grew up on Key Biscayne, which is connected by a bridge to Miami, so it's really more a suburb of Miami than anything.

Even though geologically, if you look at a map, it would look like kind of the beginning of the Florida Keys.

Growing up in this area, this is kind of your first adventure, like Soldiers Key, Ragged 1, 2, 3, Bocchita Sands, Elliot, and then a few more

islands on to North Key Largo.

You know, in our small boats, we would like two of us get in the water, one stay in the

boat, and we would drift with our Hawaiian slings and spear some snapper and things in the

channels.

And then after we'd catch a few fish we would stop for lunch and then when

the tide would turn we'd clean our fish and we'd have like a few heads and things left over

and we'd hang them off the boat and when the tide would turn. This episode is brought to you by Shopify.
