As we said, winter is coming...


Winter is on it's way; where a few days ago we still dived (or dove???) in water of 79º, yesterday the temperature dropped dramatically to 75º. Okay still nice and comfortable, but in my broken 5 mil I did get cold. The dives were spectacular though. We did 'La Esperanza' (and yes we did see a bull shark, maybe just 15 feet away!) and an enormous amount of dog snapper and grouper. The second dive in 'Los Morros' was beautiful too; the yellow tail snapper everywhere, maybe 6 or 7 'garopas', the 5-6 feet long grouper and as a desert after a long nice dive, the jacks, maybe a million of them circling us, from bottom to surface; they made a very nice safety stop....
But that temperature, the wind and waves... Really, I think summer is over and autumn is kicking in... In two weeks it will be winter... Get the thicker suit from the hangers and put on some extra weights.
