Turks & Caicos Trip Report

[Texas Diver]

Hey Tim:

Nice report. Thanks for posting it. Glad to hear everything went well for you. What kind of sharks were following you on dive 7 and how big were they? Were you able to get any pictures of them or the big stingray? Nitrox seems to leave me less tired too. But my wife says she doesn't feel any difference.

They were Caribbean reef sharks. Hard to judge length at depth but I would say they were four to six feet in length. No pictures. I have a camera but I stopped using it a couple years ago. I felt like I was spending all my time chasing the perfect shot rather than enjoying the sport.

The Eagle Ray was about the only thing I didn't get to see in T&C
when I went earlier this year. Glad you got to see a couple!!

Glad you enjoyed the thrill of Nitrox. I agree, post dive fatigue
is neglible with Nitrox.

Glad to hear you are safely back in the water. Great trip report. Just got back myself from 10 days in Coz and diving with our friends Aldora. Good to see your diving EANx now. You'll appreciate it on those multipule daily dives. Dove Nitrox almost the entire trip with Aldora now that they have dedicated boats........kinda. Working on a trip to Grand Turk........again...........for March if I can get away.

Its wierd, sometimes there are flocks of them and sometimes there are only a few.

I hit the beach in Cozumel with Aldora on January 6, 2005. Looking forward to it would be an understatement.
