September Meeting of IRC at KOgle's

I'll be there.

 

do we have a time yet?

 

I'm thinking around 3 or so but so far it's just you guys, Scott, and myself.

 

Thanks for KOgle for host our meeting! Food was great and I always enjoy talking saltwater.

 

No problem bro, always fun to hang out with friends and talk about our hobbies!

 

You going to have to change your avatar after today. That little puppy is gone.......;D

 

Finally got a minute to sit down and report on our trip to Cozumel....

Firrst off if you ever go, I HIGHLY recommend The Fiesta Americana for the hotel and dive center... first rate, luxery, affordable... We did the all inclusive plan, which included all gourmet meals, all alcohol (believe me they didnt make anything off me LOL) and also included 6 dives and unlimited shore diving for just 739 pp..... At any rate, it kicked a$$.

We dove a total of 10 dives, which included a wreck dive and a night dive....the night dive was WIKED KICK ASS.... saw corals feeding, bio luminescent jelly fish, huge king crab feeding, HUGE brain corals feeding.... when I say huge I mean like 3 or 4 foot diameters...

On the day wall dives, we saw all kinds of wildlife, it was cool because being a reefer I was able to point out what was what to some folks and actually tell them what it was... Saw tons of HUGE fish, sharks, turtles, etc -

We dove down to 90 feet several times, HUGE coral heads, some of which were 80 90 foot tall... Water vis was 100ft on most dives....

Ive got some underwater pics I will try to get posted soon that I took. Most are washed in blue cause we were 60ft down on the average dive. Cant wait to go back and am definately hooked on the scuba thing.......

After seeing this stuff in real life and first hand I have deduced that ALL aquarium reef tanks are in effect micro tanks compared to the real thing
