If you are interested in seeing pictures from our OCT '06 dive vacation to the Sea of Cortez you view them at

and selecting either Sea of Cortez Topside or Sea of Cortez Scuba. Hopefully you won't have any problems getting to the pictures.
I shot all but about 10 of these with a Motor Marine I manual rangefinder camera with 2 YS-50 strobes (for the most part). The remaining few are courtesy of a fellow diver.
We dove on a LOB out of La Paz with an oufit called Club Cantamar. If you go to their website you can find their rates and a description of the most popular dive sites http://www.clubcantamar.com/.
We were supposed to have been on their LOB Fiesta http://www.clubcantamar.com/english/liveaboard/index.html but at the very last minute they switched us to another much smaller boat named the Liberacion http://www.clubcantamar.com/english/diving/_diveboats.html.
As you can imagine we were not pleased about the difference in boats but after some negotiation they did refund us $200 each for the boat swap. The boat crew (Captain, DM and cook/deckhand) were great and did everything they could to make it a good trip. In the end it was a good trip.
The trip was 6d/5n with 6 days of diving (4 dives a day except for day one we only got 3 dives).
