Another friend came down for some diving (@loudives ) so I dove three more days after last week. I ditched the macro lens however the currents these days were slow and vis good. The weather is getting hot but we are having some afternoon and evening rainstorms. The numbers of mosquitos seem to be picking up a bit.
The last dive we saw a large loggerhead that is not the same as the large older one we have seen the last few years. We met @mcpowell and his son on the boat for a day of diving - their last. We dove with Raul and Scuba Diving Cozumel | Bottom Time Divers Cozumel.
Over the last two weeks, we dove Yucab, La Francesa, Palancar Caves, San Franciso (top and wall), Cedral wall, Punta Tunich and wall, Tormentos and Santa Rosa and some more than once. Generally our divers choice of sites is "go where there are no boats".
We saw many goldentail moray eels and not a lot of brown spotted moray eels. A few big green morays, a couple free swimming. Quite a lot of scorpionfish. We did see hawksbill turtles but more green turtles on these dives. We kept looking for small stuff in the sand like pipefish, pipehorse, lettuce sea slugs, sole but really only found one pipehorse one day. These things just tend to run in cycles. Raul did find two pike blennies sparring but I was too far away to get photos. Quite a few toadfish that were mostly tucked under too much for good photos. We did however have good luck with seahorses.
