Cozumel trip report - post Emily (long/lots of pics) +

[jlyle]

This trip report is posted on "that other scuba board." I would put it here, but it's way too big and exceeds Scubaboard's size limitations. That said, you will need a broad band connection to the internet to view (cable modem, DSL, T1, etc.). Don't even think about trying it with a dial-up, unless you are willing to wait until next Tuesday for it to load.

We were in Coz after Hurricane Emily for two weeks at Scuba Club Cozumel. Enjoy.

Great Shots......Trip report had a refreshing new twist. Thanks

I really wish I had that much free time and resources. This post is about to turn green with envy. :Wizard:

Really nice report with some excellent photos!! Looking at those almost made me forgive the ...errr...enthusiastic....photographers I've encountered diving in Cozumel.

(JK..thanks for the photos!)

Absolutely gorgeous photos Jim! Thank you for sharing. Just curious - I am thinking about getting into underwater photography, but I want a simple rig. Any suggestions?

Ah, the memories... Jim, those pics are color perfect!!!

BTW, the pics and report loaded and viewed just fine with my 56K modem.

Wow, your pictures are amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed your trip report. December can't get here fast enough for my return trip to Coz.

Thanks.

Underwater photography is a hole in the water in which to throw money.

What u/w camera system to buy depends on your goals. If you only dive on vacation and are just looking for a few low-quality images to share with friends, then you will be happy with a PHS ("push here, stupid) camera/housing. But, if you either dive more often or want some really nice pictures, you shouldn't waste your money on a "simple" rig that you will replace later with the stuff you should have bought in the first place.

You will want to look at digital, 5MP or higher, that has an available housing. The Fuji-F810 is a popular choice, but I don't know about availability.

DSAO,
Jim
