... off-season. If you do ever go, please say hi to Lucas and the staff from his new friends in the ESDC. This was a trip I will remember with great fondness for a very long time. I spent a lot of time reflecting as well as celebrating life with friends. I needed that and feel a good sense of restoration.

Three dives in a day is great, but spending the entire day on the boat from early morning until early evening doesn't allow for as much relaxation at times. It's nice to be back early.

... looking forward to the next 17 hours. We watched the main land of Mexico disappear and then sunbathed and read in the sun. Eventually the sun cooled off and we headed inside. I think we had both been dreading the moment of having to go and sit in our seats, but neither of us had mentioned it.
