Here are photos from our last five dives, two yesterday morning, one last night and two today. It POURED rain all day yesterday so we couldn't post. Here at Casa Martillo the WiFi doesn't work well (or at all) inside the condo. We have to sit on the patio to use it. I didn't want to sit in the rain working on the computer. It is beautiful today and we've spent most of the afternoon lounging around by the pool. We hope you enjoy these photos. Please leave comments.

Well, we've had another great day of diving in beautiful Cozumel. Our 1st dive was at Punta Sur Cathedral and was about a 130 foot dive. This is too deep for may nice photos, but it was a good dive and now we can say "been there, done that."

Our 2nd dive was at La Francisca Reef (French Lady Reef) and was only 60 feet and higher. We saw many wonderful sights here and took several photos. We've posted only a few here, so as not to bore you, but we have many more. Also, I am going to try and post a short movie of a shark (I thought Thatcher and Ashtyn would like that). I hope it works. I think the video will show up at the bottom of the page, but I'm not sure. Please give us your comments.

This is a video of one of the two large nurse shark we saw on our second dive. They are non-agressive and eat mainly planktan (not people). I named the movie "Shark, Come and Get Me" and you'll see why. We also saw a very large (eight or so feet long) reef shark on our first dive, but the depth did not allow for photos or movies. It's the first "real" shark we've ever seen down here. As soon as he saw us, he turned and took off for even deeper water.

Sorry, but after almost 3 hours, this 40 second video had still not uploaded properly and suddenly the internet connection failed, so if you want to see it you'll have to let me know so I can email it to you. Welcome to Mexico! Ha.

Cozumel Diving 2010

Well, we're enjoying the beautiful waters off of Cozumel. We'll be posting photos here throughout our stay and hope you enjoy looking at them. We're taking tons of photos of which most are not very good, but occassionally we get one that is at least fair. We'd love to read your coments (cudos or condolences).

Special thanks to Jeremy Roy, Marty Johnson and Billy Stephenson for coming over quickly to help us move out of the downstairs area before anything could be damaged.

The Rush Is On!

Also, a shout out to Matthew Scott, Erica Scott, Tammy Johnson and Heather Johnson, who along with Marty and Billy helped us squeegy the mud out of the house, garage and off the patio and then power clean and santitize so we could move back in.

The Soggy-Boggy Aftermath!

We got most of the things moved back in by late night and had no damage to the house or furnishings. The water was just over a foot deep inside the house and it left about a one inch deposit of mud everywhere.

Yesterday was our day of prayer for our Vacation Bible School. I am sure we're going to have a great VBS this year, because Satan is doing everything he can to disrupte. I've got news for him. Our God is bigger and more mighty than he could ever hope to be and God will overcome his attacks once again!
