Yes the whole family is back for another week. We decided to try BA because of all the positive comments I've heard. So far we like it a lot. Staff is very helpful and food is good. When are you coming back?

 

[pidgiepoo]

I turned green.that's ugly ! :yuck:

Had all kind of trouble trying to post on SB. The internet reception wasn't great and SB kept kicking me out..so I'm gonna do a report now.

For those of you who are there..or getting ready to go...you MUST dive Cedral wall. The dive started out with 3 toadfish, and all the usual critters. It then progressed into stingrays, nurse sharks, green moray eel, eagle ray, etc. The nusrse sharks were free swimming around us for quite awhile, and then we found the giant green moray. With a little coaxing and a lionfish treat the eel came out to swim with us along with two of the nurse sharks. Got up close and real personal with all three of them. At the end of the dive, we got to watch a group of 5 groupers following a shark hoping to get a morsel of food. It was a great dive and ranks right up in my top 5 dives ever.
Couldn't believe an Eagle popped up from the wall and swam over the reef...what a treat on the last dive of the week(that mojito speed stick really works). We had a fairly newbie diver in the group and I swear he almost dumped in his wetsuit when a nurse shark got close to him. He started jumping and jerking around trying to get away and it was quite comical watching him.
Great weather and calm water all week. It was quite chilly, however, so hope everyone brought a full length 3mm. SI was cool when the sun wasn't out.

Thanks for the tequilla bottle cv..even though I didn't drink any.
Great job with the list, Kat. I love the Xams trees !!

Yipee, I'm blue and waiting in Houston for the final leg of the journey to La Isla

 

[Colin Gray]

Thanks for the report Pidge. Glad you saw your eagle rays and had a good time. Couldn't believe I was shoveling snow yesterday. Miss Coz already!

 

[cvchief]

Go get 'um, BC. I heard Nurse Jackie was out and about this week.

 

[Diver Kat]

Just another one going GREEN!

Had all kind of trouble trying to post on SB. The internet reception wasn't great and SB kept kicking me out..

I've found the SB forums performance to be very poor. Probably run on the cheapest shared servers available. I can imagine that a bad internet connection would just compound the issue and cause you to be unable to post.

(Not complaining, just making an observation from an IT geek perspective)
