Hi, Paul
It was a great trip! Sure, it's a long drive, but the weather was terrific, though a bit cool when we got out of course. The wind was brisk, but the temps were good. We dove on Saturday and one was a night dive (my dive partner's first), and those are always fun. We dove again on Sunday before heading for home. I tested out a new UW camera on all three dives, and it seems to do a good job. Pix will get better as I learn to operate it better and make the right selections for the settings. Sure, there were some classes training (and that always does interesting things for the vis), but we had plenty of time in good, clear water. Ate some really good, authentic Mexican food (even the convenience stores out there have FRESH burritos and soft tacos on HAND ROLLED tortillas).
In all, it was a fantastic time. To my dive friend, Robert...you're a great dive buddy and traveler. We'll have to to it again!
Paul, sure hope you'll be able to make it next time, regardless of whether that's Balmorhea or another dive destination. Looking forward to it!
