> Our trip to Cozumel was great.  We saw more turtles this year than
> ever before.  Early on in the trip there was an extremely large
> turtle resting on the bottom just to the side of the coral at
> El Paso De Cedral.  By huge I mean probably 6' long.  I have it
> on video.  For a minute I thought it was dead because it wasn't moving
> but then wham - it opened it's eye and looked at us.  It never did
> move any more than it's eye during the 3-4 minutes we were there.

> before and was even able to capture one for more than 8.5 minutes
> on video.  The other highlight is that Josh began doing "real"
> dives with me.  With his Zeagle BC, he wore an AL80.  Some of
> the dives we did together were:
>
> 1) Palancar Gardens
> 2) One of the "wall" dives (San Francisco Wall from memory)
> 3) El Paso De Cedral at night
> 4) The wreck (which was the last dive of the trip for us)
>
> and several others.  Also, Jonthan (Josh's younger brother)
> did a couple of dives with me just out from the beach - shallow
> dives not more than 10-12' deep - just like Josh started out
> doing 4 years ago.
