Cozumel 2012 - Day 2

A big thunderstorm during the night didn't mess up a beautiful morning. On the boat ride to Palancar Bricks (30 min) the water was dead calm and the sun was shining. 57 minutes down with a maximum depth of about 85 feet for a great dive which yeilded some fair photos. After spending a little over an hour out of the water, getting some cold water, and eating some fruit, it was back down to a max. depth of about 65 feet at Cedral Wall. The drift dive was pretty swift and we ended the dive on the Cedral Shallows reef. This dive brought many tropical/reef fish, including some of those pictured below. The trip back to the dock was interupted by heavy rain, but it was over before we actually arrived at the dock. Lunch of homemade shrimp chalupas with guacamole and then worship via pod cast of FHBC. Barbara Kelley did a great job and Brother Scott's message on Enduring Hardship for the Sake of the Gospel was outstanding. He hit the nail right on the head. Ain't technology great?! Enjoy the photos and leave a comment, please.
