DAY OF REST... like you need a rest from diving...

But we decided our big day-off project this year would be to see the East Side of the Island! So we rented a sweet little VW convertible, headed down to Playa Palancar for lunch, and then spent the afternoon sunning at Chen Rio. Gorgeous rest day - even if I am a little pink around the edges now

Diving again tomorrow

Okay, tomorrow is one week from the day we arrive on Coz... thank you so much for the play-by-plays, helps me wait a little longer. Glad you're having such a great time, that's the way it should be! V-a-c-a-t-i-o-n. Get there fast and take it slow.

I will be there on August 5th

One of the things that my buddy and I have been talking about for a while is diving Punta Sur - the Devil's Throat. Gabi Loco has been taking us through small pass throughs all week and so we felt we were up for it. So that's what we did this AM. Because of the current, we actually did was Gabi Loco calls the Devil's Ass because we sank to 126 feet and then swam up all the passages. It was AWESOME!!!! After doing all the cut backs we ended up in Cathedral. It was sooo veeeery COOL!! I was just flying after the dive. I am so glad I did it. And the way cool thing was that I did it calmly. We came up at around 40 minutes and I had 1100 psi left - I did the whole thing in under 2000 pounds. WOO!! But I had to stay shallow because I acquired some deco going so deep so I went ahead and called the dive.

Second dive was at Cedral. Very awesome drift dive. Saw nudibranches, pipehorses, and pipefish - and 2 reef sharks.

Just way cool. Final day tomorrow...

Didnt take any particularly cool photos today, but I went arty and got this one of my DM while he was under me. Thought the bubble effect was cool.

Last Day of Diving

But I went out with a bang. We did Palancar Dives first. Which was actually a bit of a traffic jam - too many people on the reef. But it really makes you grateful for the way you have been spoiled on small boats with small groups for the whole week.

Second dive we revisited Delilah. Awesome. 2 turtles, 2 sharks, 2 rays - including a spotted eagle. WAY COOL!!! What a way to wrap up a Cozumel dive vacation, and it was also my 75th dive. Not a bad way to mark it.

Will be back at my desk on Monday staring at my computer and dreaming of coral reefs with big turtles...

I think you have done well with your camera this week. You got some nice shots.

Glad you have had a good time. Great b-day trip.
