Still feeling in the vacation mode- it was just last Friday morning I was in Cozumel. Now at work but hey that's what will allow me to afford to go back.
On the last night dive on Wednesday night(shore dive off of the Brisas) I was feeling tired and really realized it before jumping in and ended up spending an hour diving. You know the dive,eat,sleep,dive,dive ,dive, eat,dive etc. Even during the dive I was thinking- I've seen the stingray, the angel fish, the black urchins, etc.
And then what happened took it all away.... an octopus that took my breath away. I had seen several octopus but for the most part they were hiding. This one was out feeding and had a beautiful glow to it. I thought of it as a "sea angel." It went from white to green to aqua to blue to dark red to white to green to aqua to blue to dark red over and over and over. I was mesmerized and I still have this memory imprinted. It still can take my breath away. Also I should mention that all of the tiredness that I felt turned to pure elation. I was so glad I jumped in no matter how tired I felt. You never know what you might miss right?
Would like to hear similar experiences-- c'mon swampers I know we like to reminense.(sp)
