Where did I go with my force fins?

Several of this video clips were taken at a dive site that was only 20 feet deep in the Reserva Natural Canal de Luis Peña Isla de Culebra .

The dives sites that we explored in Culebra were not deeper than the 60 ft range and did not have dramatic reef structures. Every time we went diving we shared the boat with newbies. Surely we had a good time, though.

In the April issue of Dive Training Magazine there is an interesting one page article about the recently discovered 'middle light' reefs off the southern coast of the main island of Puerto Rico.​

Playa Flamenco is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. It is hard to believe that in the past it was a stage for US military training. Ironically the presence of unexploded ammunitions on the sea floor has helped to keep the developers' hands off of this unique stretch of Culebra coastline.

Snorkeling in 3 feet (1 mt.) of water in a school of sardines was truly memorable. Here I also saw my biggest queen conch. I hope that it is still happily crawling along the turtle grass bed instead of rotting away on top of a chest of drawers in a hotel room.

I thought I was not going to see the end of this tunnel...Finally my last video about my recent trip to Puerto Rico is done!

It has been a rather long journey sometimes a bit rushed because of time constraints. I have learnt new things about editing along the way. I have also figured out which areas I need to learn more about (beside getting a better camera).However I am still 'falling in love' with my video clips (quoting Eric Hanauer in his article Shoot First, and then Edit, Edit, Edit etc... again from the April Issue of Dive Training Magazine)

My Force Fins came back with few more scratches. They are well worth it, though!​

Jose,
Thanks for sharing such inspiring photos showing us the the quest for adventure in Mr. Miguel Angel Arias. I am in awe.

you know I always thought the shore entry at Lana'i was tough with its 9 ft drop into 10 ft seas with no safe place to be on the surface was tough but this guy redefines "difficult shore entry"

Bloody Hell! Mamma mia! ​

What a dedicated diver! Is he a rock climber as well?​

Wow! It ain't the entry, it's the exit that gets you!

It has been ages since I came here last...Jeez a lot of changes. At last yesterday my force fines came out from the darkness of their bag after 6 weeks and plunged into a yellow Mediterranean Sea...
