Back from Vacation on Carnival

[Roger]

Very cool Roger! Cozumel is on my list of places to go diving... I bet that was awesome. I know badwhale really enjoyed his trip there. Taking pictures underwater is a pain, but if you have a decent camera with a strobe and get very close to your subject you'll get some good shots. I am no expert - it takes me 100 shots to get 3 good ones. I have just about the same ratio on land too.

Thanks for the encouragement. I have a compact underwater camera, but I want a better one. I should have used my flash but it was just enough for me to control my buoyancy and get a snap shot or two. Since this was my first dive in YEARS... I thought that I had done ok for my abilities and experience. What kind of camera do you have? By the way I saw sting rays, spotted moray eels, lobsters, pilot fish, blue parrot fish, yellow french chubs. The chubs were all clustered in a reef ball, so that was entertaining. My dive was about 40 minuets at a depth of 25- 35 feet. So it was not a real deep dive but it was very enjoyable.
