It was an exciting morning today. I was at the marina at 0600 helping–well –I was there anyway. Our Captains Chan Fran and Tiburon have organized the loading of tanks very efficiently.

It feels good to be back in the Cozumel groove. A big part of that groove is diving with Tres Pelicanos three or four days a week. This marine life slide show includes a mix of large and small, common and rare, beautiful and humorous.
We had an experience today that is worthy of a special edition slide show. We got to hang out for several minutes with a loggerhead turtle, whom I think of as an old friend.
