The last one goes blue, this month went way to fast.

 

[Zman96]

Got home late last night and was greeted with temps in the 30's and snow coming down fast. Not the re-entry I was hoping for.

That is a rough re-entry, it was about the same for us too. Now that we have been back for 2 weeks, 50 degrees feels warm again.

 

[Zman96]

Well besides the long term visitors we are now all back to reality. Anybody else have any cool pictures from their trip they can post? I really didn't get a whole lot that were impressive, then again I was just enjoying the diving rather than taking a lot of pictures.

I wish airfares would come down, I am trying to look at fall trips, but the airfare from Chicago is going between $433 and $500 depending on dates.

 

[atatt]

Zman - I feel your pain. We are trying to plan a trip for the summer but w/airfare the way it is it is too expensive. I guess our March trip will have to hold us until our Nov trip, that is too long of a time to wait to get back to paradise. We had a great time while we were there but also didn't get any great pics. Look forward to seeing others pics!

Countdown 7 months, 5 days!!!

Took these of the "Super Moon" in a previous post (click here):http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/cozumel/376158-super-moon.html
Took these 3-12

I got more... I need to do a trip report, for once. Notice the lack of light on the left in the last image. I had a bad strobe cord that I didn't know about until my return. Ikelite replaced it for half the price of a new cord. I remember a tank falling on my camera rig a couple of years ago in Kauai and that's when I think the cord was compromised? The tech at Ikelite said it was intermittent... Crap! I thought it was me. Wish I could go back in time and take those images again. Just have to go back to get more!
Ikelite also replaced my little flash-lite, That I keep in my BC pocket, that flooded on this trip. I will always seek Ikelite products for this reason. Might pay a little more but they stand behind their products.
More later, Joe is tired.

 

[Pelagicsal]

And I thought the lighting was an artistic effect. Wish you were still here......

 

[bryceman]

Here is a few of mine. I am still learning to dive, in addition to learning how to photograph underwater. Camera is an Olympus Stylus 700 in an Olympus housing with no external strobe. Diving was awesome. 3/17 - 3/23 with Aldora (and stayed at the Villa - thanks to Prop Joe for recommending it). These are compressed from what they came out of the camera. I tried to load the full sized images from Flickr, but I couldn't make it work.

Your pictures are always amazing, thanks for posting them!

Joe,
That might be the cutest little arrow crab I've ever seen.
You were dead-on about the chili-relleno burrito!

Bill-in-Denver, I didn't realize you were BiD until you missed the cenotes!!
