Cozumel Day 6





Last day of boat diving brought us Palancar Brick, Cedral Wall, Villa Blanca Wall. Great way to end our boat diving. We may do a shore dive tomorrow, but our package ended with the first two dives of the day. The afternoon dive was only an extra $15, so we had to do it.
Palancar Brick had the best of both worlds, amazing formations and lots of fish. The current was pretty friendly also.
Dive 2, the current was it's usual fast. You can tell by the video how quickly I am moving with no effort. Look close at the picture of the big grouper and you will see a lobster's antennae sticking out of his mouth. Yummy dinner.
Dive 3 was interesting in that the boat seemed overloaded because the back end was below sea level. The dive spot was nice with lots of fish, but the current was so fast that we ran out of reef and still had half of our air left. The water was pretty rough so it was a little tough to get back on the boat. One guy sucked 1000 psi of air just holding on to the tow line waiting to get back on the boat. Of course Connie never has trouble getting back on and she never has them take her BC when she comes up. To do so would be too woosy for a real CA diver. They always take mine, so I guess it means I'm a woose and proud of it.
