OK, well the Facebook way didn't work so well, so here they are via Google. Pix from our dives in Cozumel last week if you're interested:

That's more sealife on a single dive than I have seen in all my snorkeling years wink

But you're brave... I couldn't get into the water at night.

Very nice! I did some scuba diving for a brief time, but never went much below 50 feet. Going down to 100 seems like it would be a little scary for me, at the low skill level I had at the time.

Apologies if you've posted about it before and I forgot, but have you done much diving before this trip?

Actually the amount of sea life on this trip was much less than we usually see here. I think it's the season.

Night dives are fun and serene.

Going down to 100+ is not so bad, at least for a short time. Honestly the only difference I even slightly notice is I use more air. But other than that, the pressure doesn't seem too different.

Yes, I dive pretty much every year. This last dive made my 107th dive over the past 10 years.

Thanks bones, nice to hear that you go so often. My concern was not so much about being down at that depth, but buoyancy control on the way up to keep from getting the bends.

I did a night snorkel session once, which later I was told was not a good idea, but we did see some interesting sea live.

Nice pics bones.

Turtle looks like a Hawksbill at first guess w/o researching.

Those are some great pics, fascinating!

I remember snorkeling in Grand Caymen many years ago. I would dive down a few feet and watch the scuba divers 100+ feet below me on the seabed. Somehow that was such a surreal feeling!

Always nice to see what other members are doing.

I used to dive, but never liked night dives.

Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Awesome pics (if only the Jaws theme would quit running through my head)! cheers


The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

Thanks guys!

As for getting the bends, we're not down below 100 long enough and we come up slowly and do our safety stop so it's all good.
