Great report, Marc! Your juvenile eel is a harlequin pipefish - great find!

Thanks for the ID Kari, I'll make the change on the TR.

Also, thanks again for buying, not one, but TWO of my "Cozumel, Below" books for use at the Blue Angel Scuba School!!

Acutally, I think one was for the school and one for personal use, but thanks again!! Hope they come to good use.

Great trip report, thanks alot.
I took quite a few notes and just love the photos with titles.
I do have a few questions for you if you have the time.
Now I'm really excited about returning to the BA, even if it is for only 10 days.
Did not know Jose was a priest, must dive with him on Sunday and that will count as Sunday service.
What do you think would be a good tip for the dive shops guys Pony & Martin?
How was La hatch for food and drinks? Being close to BA this may be a place for dinner.
At Ernesto's Fajita factory, how are the prices?

Yeah, that's exactly how we feel about diving with Jose on Sunday.

Tipping the dive shop is up to you, I hate to put a number on it, because it kind of fluxuates (sp?), we dove more this year than last, or any year for that matter, but I didn't drive Pony as crazy as I usually do with scheduling and resheduling dive days. Just find a number you feel comfortable with, they would appreciate anything.

We only got La Hatch to go, so can't speak for the drinks. The cheeseburger was good, not great, but that's what you get for getting a burger in Mexico. I should have gone for a Mexican dish. Others we talked to actually went there and liked it very much.

Ernesto's is very reasonable, the meal I described in the TR was only about $24...maybe including tip.

Thanks for the info sharky60, appreciate the advice.
I feel bad as the last time we stayed at the BA, I of coursed tipped the maid Trini (gotta love that girl, she even did our laundry), the waiters, the DM's/boat captain, heck even the guy who makes coffee at 0500 in the lobby, but forgot about Pony and Martin. But I had a great idea and have bought each one a nice gift for this upcoming trip.

This is not what I needed to read. I'm 34 days away from my stay at the Blue Angel, this will only make the anticipation greater and the time pass slower till departure day.
