View Into The Drink/Greece on Ryan Westward's travel map.

Hello! Made it to Greece and have hooked up with the crew from “Into the Drink” to film an episode for Season 3. As I’m sure you can imagine it is a beautiful country. I was only in Athens for about an hour while I hooked up with the crew then boarded a bus to the small port town of Lavrio (which used to be a silver mine town way back in the ancient Greek times), but we’ll spending a couple days in Athens at the end of the trip. So far we’ve basically just gotten settled in, got our bearings and gotten our dive briefings to start some amazing dives!! We’re going to spend the next three days right around the Lavrio area, visiting some islands close by and I will post plenty of photos to share from the up-coming dives. I know this is a short entry out of the gates but we are just getting started!! Here are just a few pics from today and once we get all rested for tomorrow there will be plenty more!! We’re about 8 hours ahead of Kansas City here, so my body clock is a little jacked up right now and these posts may be popping up in the middle of the day back home. As long as I can find a WiFi connection, I’ll keep ‘em coming”! (By the way, Happy Birthday to Nick Lucey, the host of “Into the Drink”)
