Cozumel 2013 Day 3

After a very rainy night we weren't sure that the boats would be on time, but they were. When we boarded the boat the temperature was 68F with a light rain. We headed headed out for our two dives, the first on the Cedral Wall and the second on Tormentos Reef. The current was pretty strong on the first dive, but we saw some great marine life including a sea turtle that was the largest we'd ever seen. There is a photo of it below and you can tell from Reva behind it how large it was. Reva is about six feet behind the turtle which was about 5 feet long, including its head. On the second dive there was very light current and made locating and photographing some very tiny marine life much easier. We got some pretty good shots which we share below. Enjoy, and let us read your comments. Thanks for checking out our blog.

  1. Wish we could get some of that rain. It did rain out in Sand Hills today. Nothing here. Maybe tomorrow. Queen Angela is sure a pretty fish. Like someone I know......
