I saw more than a dozen turtles before breakfast this morning, how was your day???

I've just come back from a great dive. It was a drift dive along the ocean floor (no reef to speak of) and it was like a small turtle village down there, they were everywhere. I've never seen so many during one single dive before. Some were sleeping, some were eating, and some got cleaned by small fish. They didn't even care that we were there. They looked at us as if they thought: Oh dear, here's another bunch of brightly coloured idiots flying by again, oh well, better get back to my tasty jellyfish! I just love turtles and my heart skips a beat every time I see one. And yes, I was a bit worried I'd suffer a heart attack during this dive. We also saw some sailfish, barracuda, healthy sized angel fish and a giant green muray eel. Dive # 2 was nothing to speak of, but it's always great to be under water.

I was planning on going to Cozumel tomorrow, but I have booked another day of cave diving instead. I just couldn't resist checking out a few more of the unique caves before I leave. It's a full day trip and I'll be too exhausted after, to pack up and leave for Cozumel, so I'll have to wait until Saturday morning. But after today I got a taste of what I can expect in Coz and I'm very psyched now.

It's cloudy and not too warm here today, so I'm currently out on a photo mission. I hope I get some good shots, got very close to an iguana and could even use my macro lens.

I'm seriously considering getting a massage now, and might be hitting some clubs tonight. It's a hard life...
