COZUMEL WITH A NEW CAMERA – AUGUST 2012

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the great trip report and photos. The photos look great. The choice of lenses in such a small set up really shows, what a great kit you've put together.


We did Punta Tunich yesterday and had one of the biggest Spotted Eagle Rays I've ever seen go cruising by us right on top of the coral, (not out over the deep blue), about 20-30 feet from our group. It was alone and an absolute monster in size.. What a beautiful creature.. then it was gone.


Speaking of gone.. Got a couple days left and then I will be gone. What a great trip I've had but my how 15 days flies by.

Saw the Loggerhead again (that's twice in two trips) as it sat on the bottom at Yucab with our group for longer than 5 minutes like we weren't even there. And the Eagle Ray yesterday. And the 4' Baracuda that let me snuggle up within a foot of him at the cleaning station on the top coral at Palancar, its mouth and gills wide open showing rows of razor sharp teeth as we were almost eye to eye. And the Squid that joined the group at the end of the dive last week. And I can't forget the pod of dolphins that played around the boat for 30 to 45 minutes on the trip back to SCC last week. And, and.. I could go on and on. All amazing and wonderful experiences from another summer trip.

It was a pleasure seeing, diving and enjoying the great conversations with everyone again Jim and of course celebrating Amy's birthday (and cake) and her 500th dive taking place both on the same day.

Jim,

What a wonderful lot of photos! Thanks for sharing, and keep enjoying your new camera! As someone who has a few dives here on the island, I love seeing a few new things in your pics and you inspire me to keep looking. Mushroom scorpionfish - I've never seen one of those, so now it's next on my radar.
