    Got back from Cancun Mexico and went on a couple of different snorkeling trips along the barrier reef. This reef runs from Yucatan peninsula all the way down to Honduras, and is over 560 miles long, making it the second largest reef in the world. The seas where pretty rough and visibility was about 15' or so. So most of the pics appear murky because of all the sediment that was stirred up.

    STOP...STOP.. I need a serious vacation. It was only April that I too was scuba diving in Cozumel and I cant wait to return and go diving again. Next stop Hawaii. But i have to wail till next April and my 72 is not satisfying my urge to swim with the fishes. I need a tank i can dive into.

    Nice photos.
