Mahahual - with fun diving with a great operation - DreamTime Diving.
Our review is coming shortly.
Click images for close-up view
And as usual here's a heat little video of some of our more favorite
pictures! I put it up on
YouTube as it's
long and takes up too much time to download !
WELCOME TO CANCÚN a friendly greeting.
OR WELCOME AGAIN It is better with the sign right side up.
MAGICAL CRONOIDS Rapidly becoming another fascination for Claire.
BUBBLE-LOVING FISH bubbles & fish can be fun.
OK THIS MAY... ..be a problem.....
NOW IT'S AN ISSUE ...there may be some therapy in this fish's future.
A NEW ANEMONE Branching Anemone with a surprise in the lower left corner!
PEDERSON FANTASY Always a favorite of Claire's.
TRIGGER LADY Always a beautiful queen.
A NEW FILEFISH This usually has his front dorsal fin up, but of course not as I snapped
this shot..
SPOTTED EEL TEEF Obviously crocked teeth are not a factor in food gathering.
SCRAWLED COWFISH They turn a beautiful blue when they are agitated, and I try not to do
that, but they are beautiful.
BIG TURTLE A fun encounter with a really large turtle.
FLAMINGOES EVERYWHERE After doing almost 3 days of no flamingoes - all of a sudden they're
everywhere.
AN OLD FAV Claire never tires of these little delicate worms.
ROCK BEAUTY Always beautiful but not necessarily as available as they were on this
reef - where they almost seemed tame.
GREEN MORAY EEL The eels weren't necessarily abundant, but they were there.
RED-BANDED PARROTFISH Another find that is not a usual site on most reefs.
PEPPERMINT SHRIMP First time to see this shrimp which Walt remarked were thick around their
lights during the night dive!
SCRAWLED FILEFISH Another first!
SQUID Lots of squid. I chased this one to get him close enough to
photography.
VIEW FROM THE BOAT The DreamTime HQ.
HOME AWAY FROM HOME Our hotel - Los Posada de los 40 Canons.
ON THE BOARDWALK A beautiful walk along the beach rebuilt after Dean hit dead one center
of town!
GETSAY & RICK Two of the more responsible people with DreamTime.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS... ...when you've been diving too much. This group is definitely not
responsible for themselves or anything else!
NEW FRIENDS Another boat dive make this group of divers happy!
