Cozumel Mexico

[DavidPT40]

Took about 220 pics on my first trip to the Caribbean. Absolutely loved it. Was 27 degrees when I took off, 88 when I landed. Got a chance to use my new camera I got for Christmas. Saw a spotted eagle ray, poisonous sea snake, couple of eels, crabs, lobsters, and lots of fish (including sea horses). Didnt see any sharks though

Pic of me 60 feet down.

Neat little reef on a shore dive.

This crab was the size of a small dog. Its claws were bigger than my hands.

Cool pic's! I'm glad you had a great time! I'm hoping to do Mexico this
month. So how about a blow by blow of where you dove?

In Cozumel, all the reefs are located on the channel side of the island. There is a national park where you do shore diving. I went out on the dive boat three times, each time doing two dives. Its all drift diving. As soon as you jump in the water, the current pushes you along *fast*. I'll do a comprehensive post of the dives with more pictures. Palancar reef was very nice, with lots of swim-through caves and huge coral. Lots of wall diving down there also. Top of the wall (its more of a slope actually) might be at 60 feet, and the bottom of the wall might be at 1600 feet. Visibility when I went was 100+. Saw an eagle ray that was swimming at about 200 feet.

I have them on my harddrive. Tried uploading some to scubaboard.com, but that took forever.

Did you dive with Dive House? What did you think?
Might change the Freeport countdown and go back to Coz again..
