Diving Week of December 13, 2021
Friends from Virginia are here but leaving today.
Diving with Bottom Time Divers

Water temps are cooling down
Mostly good visibility but was green at times especially at the Palancars.
Good surface water conditions though a windy one day.
Slow currents

Reef sharks are still around
Eagle rays are mostly a daily sighting on many sites.

We dove south sites from Colombia to Yucab.

Parking at Fonatur is still a problem. The condo/shops project is proceeding. I cannot say what will happen with parking when they start construction or after they are built.

There are police checkpoints at various points on the island and near the marina. Though my self nor our group was stopped, they are checking immigration papers. Have your FMM and passport with you.

Shot wide angle on all dives.

Reef Shark. None of them would let us get close, all are small and all on or near walls. This is Cedral Wall.
