Diving in the Carribbean

Jack Aaron and I woke up early yesterday to catch the dive boat out to the reefs just off the coast of Rivera Maya. Ranging from 40 to 80 ft the colors were unbelievable and the sea life was more than plentiful, the seas were relatively calm and the water temp was about 80 degrees¬¬so there was no need at all for a wetsuit. I was able to get some good photos of the parrot fish and spiny lobsters but i cant share them here, my uw camera is old school and actually takes film. After the morning dive tip we went on a snorkeling trip with Arden and Leah back to one of the same reefs we dove on just on the shallow side which was about 3 to 10 ft. Lots and lots of fish here, the guide took bottles of fish food out with us and released it right in the front of Arden and they promptly swarmed her nearly completely covering her...and of course she squealed under water and promplty climbed on my back. On the way back from snorkeling the boat stopped off at this remote beach where we all could just hang out...Arden found some horses and rode down the beach and Jack Aaron found a small puffer fish swimming in the shallows and gave it a ride in his dive mask for a little while before releasing it again.

The day before yesterday (Monday I think) was a fairly sedentary day, so not much to tell. We sat on the beach under the palm trees (and still managed to get sunburned)and had the waiters bring and endless supply of coronas to our little hut...very nice

The grounds at the resort are immaculate they are cleaning at all hours of the day and night and spend lots of time on the gardens and the flowers. And the iguanas are just everywhere

till next time.............
