Cozumel 2013 Day 7

Diving today on La Francisca Reef (French Lady Reef) and Las Palmas Reef. We were diving with three divers who had never been to the Las Palmas Reef nor seen a Bat Fish here, so we returned to hunt them down. Our regular Dive Master, Julio Kin, was a no show this morning so we had a different DM. His name is Gener and though a very nice guy, he is not nearly as proficient as Julio. We found no Bat Fish. The dives, however were nice. The currents cooperated today and we saw some very nice reef fish, a shark, many lobster, black grouper, a splendid toad fish, and other marine life. The La Francisca Reef has beautiful coral and sponge while Las Palmas is more scattered coral heads and sponge gardens on white sandy bottom. Enjoy the photos.
